The tweet emphasizes the nature of Durant’s trash talk, a blend of confidence and skill on display. It also highlights the instructional aspect, with Durant informing Daniels of his intentions before showcasing his offensive prowess.
The KD Encounter
Dyson Daniels, a 21-year-old Australian baller, found himself face-to-face with the Slim Reaper himself—Kevin Durant. The intensity was palpable. Daniels recently shared his experience on The Howie Games, a podcast hosted by Mark Howard. When asked about trash talk, Daniels hesitated, then admitted, “It’s a lot of swear words.”
Kevin Durant’s Game Plan
Durant, known for his scoring prowess and icy demeanour, had a game plan. He whispered to Daniels, predicting his next move. “He’s going to hit a turnaround fader,” Durant said, and just like that, he did it. The shot dropped, and Durant added insult to injury: “Hold this motherf**ker.”
Daniels’ Reaction
The young Pelicans star was caught off guard. He didn’t have a comeback ready. Instead, he sat in the corner, waiting for his chance to retaliate. Daniels later admitted, “I would love to get involved in more trash talk.” Unfortunately, he didn’t get that opportunity against the seasoned superstar.
