In a surprising twist that has fans buzzing, Kevin Durant inadvertently roasted his new Houston Rockets teammate Dorian Finney-Smith during a recently resurfaced episode of the “Mind the Game” podcast. Recorded before Durant officially joined the Rockets, the episode has gone viral, showcasing Durant’s candid thoughts on team dynamics and shooting strategies that now put Finney-Smith in the spotlight.
Durant, known for his sharp wit and basketball acumen, discussed the importance of shot selection, emphasizing that not all players are suited for mid-range shots. In a particularly humorous moment, he pointedly remarked that in a crucial game situation, he would not pass the ball to Finney-Smith with only seconds left on the clock, suggesting that relying on him for a last-minute three-pointer wouldn’t be a winning strategy. “We’re not going to waste the clock trying to look for a three,” Durant stated, underscoring the need for star players to take the crucial shots in high-pressure moments.
The comments have sparked a flurry of reactions across social media, with fans both amused and intrigued by Durant’s candidness. As the Rockets gear up for the upcoming season, this unexpected roast adds an extra layer of drama to the team’s chemistry. Will Finney-Smith embrace the banter and rise to the challenge, or will this playful jab create tension? One thing is for sure: the Rockets’ dynamic just got a lot more interesting.
