“Lil 4-for-7 Cam Thomas is gonna come in here and fabricate”: Kevin Durant hilariously puts the Nets rookie in his place after his outrageous claims about beating KD 1v1

Kevin Durant reacts to Nets teammate Cameron Thomas calling himself a better shooter than the four-time scoring champion. KD rubbished the rookie’s claims of beating him in a one-on-one match.

The Brooklyn Nets improved their record to 13-5, defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers. Kevin Durant returned to the lineup after missing the game against the Orlando Magic due to a shoulder injury. The superstar was the leading scorer during the game, dropping twenty-seven points.

However, the highlight of the match was rookie Cameron Thomas. Coming off the bench, Thomas scored a crucial 11-points on 4-for-7 shooting. The summer league MVP helped the Nets get a hold of the game during the third quarter.

During the post-game media interaction, Thomas joked about having better scoring abilities than Durant when the latter was 20-years of age. The rookie added that he always defeated KD in their one on one matches.

When a rookie takes a shot at the scoring ability of one of the greatest shooters the game has ever seen, he better be joking. Cam Thomas played a crucial role in the Nets’ win over the Cavaliers. However, the rookie would hilariously poke fun at Durant during a post-game media interaction.

Thomas spoke about how the two teammates would trash-talk. According to the rookie, his scoring ability was better than Durant when the latter was 20-years of age. The Nets guard spoke about how he would beat KD in post-up and shoot-around, jokingly telling the journalists not to tell KD about this.

However, Durant didn’t let Thomas’ statements fly under the radar. The two-time Finals MVP wasted no time in telling the reporters that Thomas was lying.

“Cam is lying. He was lying for sure. I’d definitely beat him 13-5, and those 5-shots that he made, I had turned my back. It was a shoot-around, and I beat him 15-5. It’s an ongoing game so the score don’t start over, you know at the end of the season we’ll tally the points but he down a lot.”

Durant hilariously remarked at the rookie’s performance saying,

“Little 4-for-7, you know he feeling himself when he come in, he gonna come in here and fabricate”

Kevin Durant heard what Cam Thomas said earlier about beating him in their 1-on-1 matchups at shootaround and didn’t hold back 😂
