Evan Fournier has repeatedly proved over time that he’s one of the funniest NBA players on Twitter. His roast of Kevin Durant today reiterates that.

The French national team star has been a revelation over the past couple of seasons. Fournier has regularly proved that he can get buckets against anyone and win games for any team.
One of the crowning achievements for Fournier came this summer at the Tokyo Olympics. The 28-year-old led France past a star-studded USA roster that featured the likes of Kevin Durant.
Buoyed by this game, France went on a 5-game winning streak through the course of their silver medal run. This included a tense semifinal battle against Slovenia, which went right down to the wire with Fournier fouling out.
However, France’s hopes of causing a real upset were thwarted by USA in the gold medal game. Once Kevin Durant came alive in the 3rd quarter, they established an unassailable lead to cruise through.
Evan Fournier trolls Nets fan for suggesting he should call Kevin Durant up to be his barber
KD had 29 points in the gold medal game and put France to the sword, metaphorically speaking. That was perhaps what a fan was referring to in his reply to Evan Fournier today.
The Frenchman has just moved to New York after signing a contract a few days back. And one of the first things that a man looks for when he moves to a new place is a reliable barber.
Fournier posted on Twitter looking for suggestions for a barber, and he got a wide variety of entertaining responses. He also engaged with a fan who attempted to roast the Knicks’ man for losing to Kevin Durant.
This was undoubtedly some top banter by Fournier, who will doubtless face KD in numerous ‘derby’ games over the next couple of seasons.
