Kevin Durant: Jay Williams’ Story About Ripping Giannis Comparison ‘a F–kin Lie’

Kevin Durant’s latest online feud is with ESPN analyst Jay Williams over comments about Giannis Antetokounmpo. 

Williams said on Get Up! that Durant told him a few years ago not to ever compare him to the Milwaukee Bucks star:

Durant took exception to Williams’ entire story, calling it “a f–kin lie” and adding a message on Twitter (warning: contains strong language):

Durant isn’t shy about calling out anyone who says anything that he doesn’t like or disagrees with. 

In 2019, Nick Schwartz of USA Today ran through a list of seven online feuds Durant has had with various people. 

Earlier this season, Durant engaged in a feud over direct message on Twitter with Michael Rapaport that stemmed from the actor commenting about the Brooklyn Nets star’s apparent lack of desire in doing a postgame interview on TNT. 

After Rapaport posted some of the messages he received from Durant, which included homophobic and misogynstic language, the 11-time All-Star issued an apology for the words he used:

The Nets and Milwaukee Bucks are playing in the semifinals of the Eastern Conference playoffs. Brooklyn has taken a 2-0 lead through the first two games of the series, including a 125-86 win on Monday night. 

The superstar showdown between Durant and Antetokounmpo has been as lopsided as that Game 2 score. Durant is averaging 30.5 points on 55.8 percent shooting, 7.0 rebounds and 4.5 assists against Milwaukee. 

Antetokounmpo has scored 52 points and grabbed 22 rebounds in two games, but the two-time NBA MVP is just 2-of-10 from the free-throw line. 

Durant will look to lead the Nets to a 3-0 series lead over the Bucks when they play Game 3 on Thursday at Fiserv Forum at 7:30 p.m. ET.
