"I don't know what Kevin Durant's response to him was. But I will tell you what I did hear, is that behind the scenes Kevin Durant was like, 'Why would I do that?' "

Did that in fact happen?

“Hell no. That was all false. All false. 100 percent false,” Durant told Mark Medina of the Bay Area News Group. “He didn’t talk about none of that stuff.”
