From the outside looking in, Kevin Durant appears to be the type of competitor who keeps to himself while on the basketball court and doesn't try to get into his opponent's head by firing off some verbal jabs. Apparently, the (perceived) quiet ones are always the most dangerous, according to Draymond Green.
Now, Durant may not be one of the best trash-talkers of all time, but the Golden State Warriors power forward will go as far as to say Durant is the most underrated one in the league today.
During his appearance on The Freddie Coleman Show on ESPN Radio, Green shed some light on Durant's trash-talk game, saying, “Lotta people don’t know that. But if you play against him you know." So, what does he tell his opponents? “KD makes you feel bad about yourself, that you ever talked junk,” he said. “It’s the funniest thing in the world.”
Since joining the league in 2012, Green and Durant have gone back-and-forth with the trash-talk, but even he knows when to pick and choose his battles. “Me and KD have had our battles over the course of my three years in the league,” he said. “But when he end up with 53 (points), it ain’t much you could say back at that point.”
