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.

FTFY.
Durant yet to win a championship while being the bus driver
This is obviously tongue in cheek.
🤦🏾♂️ KD really been on some Goof ball shit since his GS days
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
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.
A fan is annoying to KD and KD responds
“Where will your mental be” stop right there because you already sound stupid
Of all the teams he’s been on only the Warriors have a title this millennia. It’s hard. This is a very George Constanza “in six games” kinda comment. https://youtu.be/DROfn0-8-r8?si=BoKbx4gG13l2RSp7
>you left them high and dry,
He didn’t owe them shit lmao why do fans hate it when players use free agency?
Hardest road
🤦🏽♂️
He congratulated them the night they won. Must have saw a mean tweet from a Thunder fan
Yes, and Durant is yet to win without Curry, so there is that.
KD had the hardest 2 championships of all time
Hardest road indeed
Why KD talking shit when he hasn’t won a championship yet
KD is so corny.
Bro would be ringless without Steph.
KD forever a goat tier role player
Kevin will forever be known as the guy who took the easiest road anyone has ever taken
Salty ass hahaha
Thin skinned and soft as ever.
Think your just seeing some pro wrestling type shit for opening night y’all
Damn I thought this was a fake tweet. Lame
KD obviously has mental health issues
People taking this way too seriously
This dude is a absolute loser
Shoutout to sky tho
Sometimes I forgot he actually does have a championship ring
Yea they did something you couldn’t do when you wore that uniform
Dude is very likely lurking in this thread too. Hi cupcake!
Yes, well…it’s not really possible for an entire team to take the “hardest road” the same way cowardly players can…
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.
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
Lmao people are so weirdly salty in here. You’d think Durant personally slapped fans across the face one by one.
When the thunder build their statue, it ain’t going to be you bud
How the fuck is that what you get out of that?
He’s responding to a troll comment with a troll comment. Nothing to see.
The best player to not improve any team he’s on.
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
You left them out to dry. As their franchise altering player. This is why I be here for the KD criticism
Usually kd is a good troll or at least funny but this is crazy lmao
I know this shit cuts the thunder fans deep now Matter how much they deny it.
KD loves to troll fans who give him shit, if you barely figured that out welcome to the nba
Dude, this is such a bitch move by KD.
Motherfucker, you ran!
