Even though Kevin Durant was Chris Paul’s rival throughout their careers, he couldn’t believe Scott Foster ejected Paul in yesterday night’s game between the Phoenix Suns and the Golden State Warriors.
Durant spoke to the media after the Phoenix Suns defeated the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night, and he delivered a very open reaction to Paul’s expulsion.
“I didn’t see it coming, but I looked it up and they was talking for a little bit longer,” Durant told reporters. “I had the impression it wasn’t a warm exchange.” I realized something was awry after watching a few extra minutes of them conversing. I didn’t get to hear what was going on, but there was this bizarre sequence of three or four techs and Chris being tossed out of the game. Given his and Scott’s history, it was a strange finale to the half, but I’m delighted we got points out of it.”
The final sentence is easily the most humorous portion of Durant’s reaction to his dismissal. Only Kevin Durant would say that he is relieved that a messy Chris Paul dismissal resulted in points.
Kevin Durant is no longer a part of the Golden State Warriors, but his tenure with the team will be remembered fondly by fans. Slim Reaper is responsible for two NBA championships and three consecutive visits to the NBA Finals.
