Now, of course, fans are going to show the King some serious love. However, there will be some of that coming from his fellow NBA players as well.
And when it comes to that category, it appears that Kevin Durant and Jayson Tatum beat absolutely everybody to the punch.
Let’s dive into what they had to say about the King after such an incredible night.
