Julio Rodriguez 'kicking in the desert' with Kevin Durant gets 2-word reaction from Mariners teammate Bryce Miller

Seattle Mariners rising superstar Julio Rodriguez recently linked up with NBA legend Kevin Durant. Rodriguez shared snaps from the meet-up on social media, and Bryce Miller and Isaiah Thomas were among the notable athletes who reacted.

On Monday, Rodriguez shared a three-snap Instagram post, possibly from Durant's residence in Arizona. The duo were in sports casuals with the Mariners' star's Adidas outfit being more noticeable.

Funnily enough, only the first snap of the post, in which the duo posed showing off their attitude, was not blurred. Duran had the same pose in the second snap while the third snap had the duo in laughter.

"Kicking it in the desert 🏜️🤘🏽" - Rodriguez captioned the post.

Bryce Miller, Rodriguez's teammate at the Mariners commented:

"Ohhhhhhhhhhh bueno ‼️"

Isaiah Thomas, who was Durant's teammate in the Suns last season, commented:

"My bros 🏁"
