NBA Fans Had Same Joke About Kevin Durant’s Future After His Classy Comments About Nikola Jokić
Kevin Durant had his first season with the Suns come to an end in humiliating fashion Thursday night, as they were blown at home by the Nuggets, 125-100, in Game 6 of their second-round series.
Durant won over a lot of fans after the game with his classy comments about Nuggets star (and two-time NBA MVP) Nikola Jokić, saying he’ll go down as one of the best centers to ever play the game.
Durant’s whole breakdown of Jokić and his game was pretty cool to hear, especially as the comments came just moments after such a deflating loss for the Suns star.
"I always knew how great he was...I wasn't surprised at all...he'll go down as one of the all-time great centers that ever touched a basketball"
