Kevin Durant on his trash talk with Gary Payton: “Gary Payton cannot out-talk me, man. I like reigniting that in the OGs, you know what I’m saying? Like yo, let me see if you still got it bro, mentally.”

KD rage baits now but imagine when he retires on twitter, he’s gonna be rage baiting to the max
Even if Kevin could out trash talk him Gary ain’t in his prime trash talk mode anymore.
Love KD
Imagine when KD actually retires rage baiting 100 times worse lol
Every quote I read from him lately sounds like he’s been retired for 20 years and is reminiscing lol
8th man of the bench bs 8th team (5 but 8 sounds better)
“By the time you was my age you was the 8th man on the bench” is objectively hilarious
KD elite level trolling irl and on twitter, the NBA will be worse off when he retires
Buddy is high as a moon lol
That’s washed trash talk GP tho
Mentally is incredible here.
KD’s a better player but his trash talk is nowhere near GP’s level.
😂😂😂😂
If you’re up here I’m in the ceiling
💀
Oddly enough I met Gary Payton in Seattle right after KD went to the Warriors. I asked him what he thought about it and he just said “horse shit”.
It’s funny cuz GP2 is the exact opposite.
“Lemme see if you still got it, mentally.” KD regularly gets dragged into shit talking trolls on social media. Didn’t he get caught with a burner too? Weird to question others mentality
I love this and it makes me love KD all the more. That probably meant a great deal to GP getting recognized and subsequently roasted~ KD ain’t going back and forth with a peon (well sometimes he does). I imagine GP felt lowkey nostalgic talking shit to an all time great again.
ngl how can you hear that far away lol
Anyone who likes ball needs to watch this season of Starting 5. The KD parts alone are the best things I’ve ever seen.
KD a fish.
I can’t remember which game this was to look it up. But I’m pretty sure KD popped off to end the game. This stuff fuels him, and I love that.
Edit: I distinctly remember looking at his 3pt betting line. After this interaction, he made at least 3 of them after not making many, if any, in the 1h.
I saw somewhere that Gary Payton looks like an old Kanye, and I can not unsee that shit. 😂
After the GSW move, KD had to double down and be the villain 😂
Love the ref smiling through it all.
His trash talk corny tbh
KD is absolutely part of my dream blunt rotation
KD always sounds like he’s trying to sound cool
i.e. “I’ve been really good at basketball for a long time! Better than you!” Like, yeah, that’s factually accurate, that doesn’t make it good trash talk.
Compare that to “they don’t love you like that” or literally anything that Larry Bird has ever said. KD sounds like he’s trying to win a Lincoln Douglas debate about who had the objectively higher ranked career of all time.
We should just rename the sub /r/shitKDsaid at this point.
This guy is a bitch, and he will always BE a bitch.
This dude so corny
GP didn’t need no burner
KD does not have “it” mentally. Thats like his entire problem.
He could do everything but lead Phoenix to a championship.
Why does KD have them Ozempic eyes
a bunch of redditors have an approved list of who is allowed to talk trash, and its only their favorite players lmao
Imagine Kawhi talking trash
Id like to see that
(Ben Affleck smoking a cigarette)
Who wins a 1v1: Bron or Durant?
I mean KD may be the softest mentally I have ever seen lol what is he on about? The dude has melt down after melt down with fake accounts. GP would talk him under the table and it wouldn’t be close
Nothing about this is “cool”. KD is so corny. 37 years old still acting like a child
If he’s gonna start talking shit, then so am I… Silly snake really thinks he’s him, boy couldn’t win a chip without joining a 73-win team.

Based God [ended KD’s career](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBQ2mjkvYY8) over a decade ago
