Kevin Durant had some strong words for an Oklahoma City teacher who used him as a teaching aid for a class. In a handout obtained by SB Nation, the teacher encourages her students to think of Kevin Durant as a bad example of how they should conduct themselves.
“KD left the OKC Thunder last summer after falling to the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference Finals. Following the end of the season, he decided it was in his best interest to join the very same team that has just knocked him out of the playoffs. Don’t be like KD. Don’t take the easy way out,” the note said before comparing Durant’s actions to plagiarism, cheating, and unfinished homework.
Those are some harsh words and it looks like Durant thought so too.
“Whoever did this should be fired and thrown in jail,” he tweeted in response.
While Kevin Durant was slammed as a bad example, the teacher praised Michael Jordan, but not for the reasons you would expect.
“The greatest thing this man ever did? Saving the Looney Tunes from a lifetime of servitude to an alien race. Did MJ take the easy way out? Did he ever back down from a challenge? NO! Be like Mike,” the note hilariously said of Michael Jordan.

This isn’t the first time that Kevin Durant has been criticized for making the move to the Golden State Warriors when he did. As the Mercury News reported , Durant has been slammed for not “finishing what he started” at Oklahoma City, as in failing to win them a championship. But, as the article notes, Kevin was not born and raised in Oklahoma, so it seems unfair to argue that that was his responsibility when he played for Oklahoma City. He isn’t LeBron James playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Kevin Durant has become known for his readiness to clap back on social media. Recently, Britt McHenry, a former ESPN commentator and current conservative mouthpiece, seemed to send a subliminal tweet (sub-tweet) to Durant in which she criticized him for declining President Trump’s invitation to visit the White House. The NBA champions typically visit to receive congratulations from the president but Durant has said he will not attend because he’s not a fan of Trump and his policies.
boo hoo. Sad story…..keep tellin me more ?
