Kevin Durant took a playful shot at Oklahoma after Texas' commanding victory
Last week, Kevin Durant took a playful shot at Oklahoma after Texas' commanding 34-3 victory in the Red River Rivalry. Oklahoma fans were hopeful early on, but the Longhorns left little for them to cheer about at the Cotton Bowl.
After Oklahoma led 3-0 in the first quarter, Texas stormed back with 34 unanswered points, sealing an impressive win. Durant, proud of his Texas roots, posted on X:
“OU?? FOH [f*** outta here].”
As a Texas legend, Durant’s list of achievements is staggering. A National Player of the Year in college, his jersey number 35 hangs retired at Texas. He’s also a three-time Olympic gold medalist, two-time NBA champion, 2014 NBA MVP, and a 12-time NBA All-Star.
Durant, who played one season for Texas before being selected second overall in the 2007 NBA Draft, recently added another major milestone by becoming the first men’s basketball player to win four Olympic gold medals after Team USA’s victory over France in Paris.
