Kevin Durant Starts Twitter Battle With Former High School Opponent
Kevin Durant is currently recuperating from an injury to his heel, and obviously he’s rather bored while doing so.
That’s because the basketball star has taken to Twitter to argue with a former high school opponent who insisted that he held his own against Durant.
The man who decided to take on the Oklahoma City Thunder forward was Nate Flowers, who hails from Walford, Maryland, and played against Durant when they were in high school.
According to Bleacher Report, the pair either played on the same court when they were youth players in Maryland, or when Flowers was at Oklahoma University.
Flowers, who wasn’t drafted in 2011 and last played for Peru’s Real Club, decided to take to his Twitter account on Tuesday to boast about his accomplishment.
Held my own against every NBA player I went against…Darnell Jackson, mike beasley, xavier Henry,kd..sam young.. Who else?

However, it turns out that there was one man who hugely disagreed with Flowers’ statement: Kevin Durant. The 26-year-old soon took to his Twitter account to respond to Flowers’ remark.
@waldorfsfinest that’s a damn lie

But rather than wilting under Durant’s response, Flowers questioned it.
@KDTrey5 who I ain’t hold my own against?

At this point, Durant truly came out fighting as he specifically noted an occasion when he allegedly went toe-to-toe with Flowers and came out on top.
@waldorfsfinest U remember me comin to your side of town and humbling you. I got the footage

Flowers insisted that these games were a lot closer than Durant alluded to.
@KDTrey5 Yall won both games by a total of 2 pts…it was close. Yall ain’t blow us out!
— n8 (@waldorfsfinest) March 10, 2015
But Durant wasn’t having any of it. Because he only remembers one thing about the contest: him coming out victorious.
@waldorfsfinest I just remember U losing and Gettin cooked lol
— Kevin Durant (@KDTrey5) March 10, 2015
Memphis Glazer’s Tony Allen was even brought into the argument, as Flowers looked to prove that his initial point was still valid.
@KDTrey5 yea we lost n U got me out da way a few times but I gave U the Tony Allen treatment on sum posessions. I got the footage lol
— n8 (@waldorfsfinest) March 10, 2015
But Durant then only used Allen’s name in vain to prove how superior he was.
@waldorfsfinest yea that means U got cooked while playing ok defense
— Kevin Durant (@KDTrey5) March 10, 2015
Unfortunately, the only thing that this argument categorically proved is that Durant should probably stay off Twitter during his recovery.
