Kevin Durant has been absolutely stellar for the Brooklyn Nets this season. When he was healthy, the Brooklyn Nets rattled off on quite the win streak and looked absolutely unbeatable. However, ever since he went down with an MCL strain, the franchise has struggled.

However, even during this stretch of frustration, there have been those on the Nets who have stepped up. And apart from Kyrie Irving, perhaps the most important of those, is Nic Claxton.
In the last 5 games, the man has averaged 21.8 points, 11.2 rebounds, and 2.8 blocks per game. And as if that wasn’t enough, the man has also shot a whopping 84.9% from the field during this stretch.
Simply put, he has excelled when Brooklyn has needed him most. And yet, Montrezl Harrell didn’t think twice before disrespecting him.
And evidently, Kevin Durant didn’t like it.
What did Montrezl Harrell say about Nic Claxton?
The 76ers recently faced off against the Nets in a blockbuster fixture. And of course, to hype it up even further, reporters are bound to ask rousing questions.
However, when they asked Montrezl Harrell about Nic Claxton, this is probably not the response they expected.
While the Nets ended up losing 133-137, Claxton recorded an impressive 25 points, 11 rebounds, and 2 blocks, while shooting 91.7% overall. A very productive night for the 23-year-old.
However, Kevin Durant clearly didn’t think that should be the Nets’ only response.
So, the man very recently had some choice words for the 76ers’ big man.
What was Kevin Durant’s response to Montrezl Harrell?
Kevin Durant clearly decided it was about time to acknowledge Montrezl Harrell’s words for Nic Claxton.
Here is what he put out on Twitter after he made his decision.
Admittedly, that’s a scathing blow. Not because of the words used, but rather, the truth in the Slim Reaper’s words.
Whether on or off the court, the man’s sniping abilities continue to be jaw-dropping.
