Kevin Durant clearly isn’t giving his former team too much credit after their NBA championship victory.

The new Houston Rockets star Durant took a notable swipe at the Oklahoma City Thunder in a post to X on Sunday. Durant was in the middle of an argument with some trolls on the platform, and the topic of NBA Opening Night 2025 came up. Houston is set to face Oklahoma City to kick off the new NBA season, meaning that Durant will be in attendance as his former team the Thunder raises their championship banner.

“where will your mental be opening night when you watch the team that gave you everything raise a banner after you left them high and dry,” one troll wrote to Durant.

In response, Durant got petty and said, “Finally. It’s been 10 years, bout time they win one lmaooo.”

Durant began his career with the Thunder (dating back to when they were still the Seattle SuperSonics) but notably left in 2016 to sign with the Golden State Warriors, where he went on to win two NBA titles. As such, Durant was clearly poking fun at Oklahoma City for taking this long after he had left to finally win it all.

  1. That’s actually pretty funny tbh.

    There’s not much he can say, and as clapbacks go, that’s a good one.

    Will still enjoy having that cupcake watch the banner go up

  2. That’s really good not a lot of teams can lose 3 mvps and not only reset but reach the top. Also kd rings are a joke.

  3. A fan is annoying to KD and KD responds

    “Where will your mental be” stop right there because you already sound stupid

  4. >you left them high and dry,

    He didn’t owe them shit lmao why do fans hate it when players use free agency?

  5. Kevin will forever be known as the guy who took the easiest road anyone has ever taken

  6. Yes, well…it’s not really possible for an entire team to take the “hardest road” the same way cowardly players can…

  7. Hes clearly trolling, aint no bad blood between him and the players on the roster.

    I gotta find the deleted tweet where he basically admits to saying shit to rile up fans.

  8. Durant might be the softest player in NBA history. He left OKC after blowing a 3-1 lead in the WCF to the warriors, to join those same warriors. Ultimate bitch move. LeBrons decision was bad, but it is nothing close to Durants move to GS

  9. Lmao people are so weirdly salty in here. You’d think Durant personally slapped fans across the face one by one.

  10. Dude says that being the guy that blew a 3-1 lead and then joined the team that embarrassed him. Dude will always be a clown for that

  11. You left them out to dry. As their franchise altering player. This is why I be here for the KD criticism

  12. KD loves to troll fans who give him shit, if you barely figured that out welcome to the nba
