Kevin Durant barely escapes Twitter scrum with fans over calling 'offense' a championship recipe: "Where's the quotes"

NBA star Kevin Durant engaged with a fan on X (formerly Twitter) who tagged him while quoting Giannis Antetokounmpo. The fan compared the two, referencing a previous message that had captured the attention of the two-time NBA champion.

The basketball enthusiast by the name of @JaxsonAmbrose quoted Antetokounmpo's statement:

"It all starts from the defense. Then the offense comes easier."

He expressed his perspective:

"This is why I don't respect a lot about KD's basketball knowledge. He prioritizes offense over defense, a stance evident in many of his posts. I don't believe that a championship can be won solely with the best offense. Until @KDTrey5 proves otherwise ... no."

Durant asked @JaxsonAmbrose to provide evidence of him making such remarks:

"Where's the quotes?"

Ultimately, @FukbeinSocal found past posts by Durant affirming that 'offense wins you championships, brother.' The former league MVP then defended his previous stance with a response dated July 13, 2023:

"Brother, so u don't have to score to win?"

Although Durant's replies to @JaxsonAmbrose were later deleted, many users captured the conversation trail and reposted it on X.
