October 19th: In a recent documentary, Durant said:
If you want to win a championship, you have to make the shot. As for defense, we can find anyone on the court and make them lower their center of gravity, avoid touching the ball, lateral, and stand up to contest the shot—all that's easy.
Durant: To win a championship, you have to make the shot.
One netizen tweeted a rebuttal:
Stats of the last 16 NBA championship teams:
Top 10 defensive teams: 14
Top 5 defensive teams: 11
Top 10 offensive teams: 13
Top 5 offensive teams: 9
"...they probably just picked up a few random guys off the street to practice defense."
Durant responded:
"Basketball is actually very simple—just score more points than your opponent. I get it, you guys have too advanced a mindset to be on this basic subject. But okay, you win, Professor."
"Hey, everyone, come see him! He's good at research and a basketball genius!"
