“Trashtalking” between Kevin Durant and Theo Pinson
When Kevin Durant Josh Green was put down by a shoulder tackle while going through a Mavs player’s screen, who exchanged a few words with the Texan. The Nets superstar then quickly turned his attention back to the opposing bench, applauded and continued to speak vehemently.
The scene happened five minutes after the end of the match played in Dallas, the visitors still had three balls (85-78), widened the gap with free throws. “KD” was penalized with a personal foul and a technical foul, especially targeting the opponent’s substitute player: Theo Pinson. The former Nets player, now known as a service agitator, didn’t stop gesticulating from the bench as he “talked trash” to his flagship player on the opposite side.
Theo Pinson upset Kevin Durant so much that KD wants to fight Josh Green.

” He told him that he was going to have to turn into Magic Johnson and pass the ball tonight », informs ESPN of the interested party Referring to the defensive attitude maintained by the Mavs on “KD”. The latter actually took two for a good part of the evening. The winger had to work hard to get good shots and eventually settled for 26 points – his lowest total of the season (that is!) – 10/20 on shots.
“I had a great time”
After the meeting, Kevin Durant assures that he was not upset then. ” I was having an incredible time, I had a great time (journalists laugh). I like to talk nonsense to fans, other teams, coaches. They feel it is healthy. It’s not like I’m angry enough to fight Theo or resent him for talking to me. I was having an incredible time, I couldn’t be in a better place at this time in my life. »
The Nets player even appreciated this reference to Magic Johnson.
” No one in this league wants to let me play one-on-one or go into my preferred zones. Therefore, they will send three or four players on me, and when they have the ball, they will enter the zone. And I was like, “How strong am I. It’s a simple fact that shows how strong I am when I focus so much on one player in a team sport. So he understood. »
The observation of one of the best forwards in history has finally been confirmed by… Theo Pinson himself.
” I said, “Yes, it is. That’s why we do double takes. Don’t be shocked.” I tickled him. You know how it goes. But he is my man. He is my man. »
