Kevin Durant, the renowned basketball player known for his prowess on the court, has once again stirred the pot in the ongoing debate over his choice between Steph Curry and Sabrina Ionescu in the 3-point shooting contest. This time around, Durant injected a dose of humor by taking a playful jab at himself.
In a video posted on NBA X, later shared on Twitter, Durant expressed his latest decision, stating, "I'm rolling with Steph." He then elaborated on his fluctuating choice, revealing, "First, I said Steph, and then Steph kinda disrespected me and called me an instigator, so I went with Sabrina. But I'm going back to Steph. You know how I like to change."
Durant's initial pick had favored his former teammate Curry for the inaugural NBA vs. WNBA 3-point contest during the All-Star Weekend. However, Durant's allegiance shifted after Curry jokingly referred to him as an instigator upon learning of Durant's initial choice.
The back-and-forth banter continued as Durant responded to a tweet from journalist Leigh Ellis by switching his selection to Ionescu. Notably, Ionescu holds the record for the highest score (37 points) in a 3-point shooting contest, regardless of whether it's in the NBA or the WNBA.
Durant's playful oscillation between Curry and Ionescu not only adds a lighthearted touch to the ongoing discussion but also highlights the camaraderie and friendly rivalry within the basketball community. As fans eagerly await the outcome of the contest, Durant's latest twist serves as a reminder of his penchant for keeping things entertaining both on and off the court.
