It was widely reported recently that LeBron James and Kevin Durant recently worked out together so both could improve their games this off season. After their recent workout, James released the a tweet which seemed to irk ESPN's Skip Bayless who quickly responded with a tweet of his own directed at Durant, the exchange between the two is below.
James: "Just finished a great workout with @KDTrey5. On court work, ran the hill and finished running the football field. #StriveforGreatness,"
Bayless: "Wake up, KD: LeBron is keeping his friends close and his enemy closer. You're letting him OWN you,"
Durant: "@RealSkipBayless u brainwashing these people out here, they think since you on espn you know what u talkin bout...please, nobody owns me,"
After initially responding to Bayless, Durant deleted his response a short time later.

Fuck off skip
ReplyDeleteNo k.d., lebron is brainwashing ya ass! We will c when and if they ever play n the finals again. Nice ass, skinny ass durant letting lebron have his way with him on both sides of the court. Playin with no fire and getting no calls cause he has attacking bron all soft like they was n a pick up game! Thats why I fucks with westbtook, he b tryin to kill niggas like kobe, mj. durant would own lebron everytime they stepped on the court if he would stop being nice to that nigga! Did magic train with bird n there prime? Mj with barkley? Hell no! Train with ya teammates who u tryin to win with not who u tryin to beat
ReplyDeleteSomebody tweet lebron and tell him quit following k.d. around all summer and let that man work on his own mentality. Lebron knows k.d. is gonna b his biggest challenge n the future so he want to make sure hes got that mental edge on him. We all know lebron is scared of real niggas. Lmao!
DeleteLet me c it for u....hate! Hate! Hate! Hate! Yea yea fuck u already
DeleteHey preach can you spell right or did you fail school?
Deleteo let me say it for u...hate! , hate! Hate! Hate! And yea yea fuck u already. Lol
DeletePreach you stupid as fuck bruh you always on here posting stupid shit anything that involves the heat or lebron your guaranteeD to see a stupid post from you... GTFOH! Were all better off without reading your dumb uneducated opinions
ReplyDeleteWell mayb u sensetive heat ass fans should delete this app then? Cause u damn right ima state my opinion just like yall who hate on lakers or any other team and old players ima talk shit about the heat! And if aint me it willl b sum other anonymous dude so fuck it. But please heat fans dont just call me names and tell me to get a job like u usually do...please tell me wat stupid shit I said tough guy? Debate bitches! Grow up and handle a opinion
DeleteFighting on the internet is like being in the special Olympics even if you win your still retarded.
DeletePreach u ain't talkn bout shit!! U a hater wit nun to do but that. U ain't got an opinion u got hate.
DeleteUh my opinion is lebron calls k.d. b4 training camp starts. Says hey k.d. lets work out together. he admitted he been tryin to b durants friend since durant was at texas cause hes scared of k.d.! Thats my opinion...he dont want that 7 footer who can pull up knockin down shots lebron can only dream of hitting....he dont want that boy comin at his throat! Wats ya opinion tuhduh? Go ahead just call me a name cause u got shit! U know that shit is gay. And to the anonymous shit above u, ok dude! We got it...its ya opinion that debating sports on the internet is stupid. Ok so why is u even commenting?
DeleteWhat the hell u mean call u a name cuz that's all I got? U the Fuckin internet gangster. Man stop LB scared of KD man u dumb as fuck dude!! Yeah KD got a nasty Ass jumper but b real wit yo self Lebron has it all dude. Just stop!! Please.
DeleteYea an with all that k.d can stilll b better tha lebron if he adopts a killer mentality. He aint gonna do that by training with the opponents. Wats wrong tuhduh? I c u tryin to tone it down today? U tired of being a Internet gangsta? Fuckin phony
DeleteYes people kd is better than lebron and the heat are not all that lebron is nice but damm he's ben good since he came into the league with no heart take d wade away lebron would have come up short one more time for eight years in a row.
ReplyDeletePreach , let's not forget lebron is 6'8 250 bro , yea kd is a monster son I agree but lebron is just the overall best player in the league man , kd doesn't have the mentality lebron does , his shots is wet as fuck and lebron isn't that good shooting wise but he drops dimes , rebound , steals , and he can defend the post as well as play it. Kd has a shot and gets his blocks here and there but lebron just bullys the guy man , lebron is a more fierce driver that kd is also. So just overall lebron the man , so maybe training with him can get durant the mentality lebron has. Maybe durant is a really good friend and he's training him so that the league could be his someday. But again this is just my opinion man.
ReplyDeletethank u finally a opinion on this and nor on preach. I agree with everything u say except the part about lebrons mentality. K.d. dont need his mentality for 2 reasons. Lebron b4 this past year was n large part a choker...lets b real and k.d. Would b better served adopting the mentality of his teammate westbrook..a killler. Lebron and k.d. aint tha same type of player no way! K.d. need to b more aggressive at times and its just not there thats the main reason why westbrook ends up jackin up more shots and people need to face that about durant. People like him so much they act like its a crime to say somethin bad about him much like lebron but its TRUTH. yea lebron is the man now but he knows k.d.is on deck and he knows k.d. is too fuckin nice and wants to keep him on friendly, brotherly level with him the rest of his career so hopefully he wont have k.d. come at him on the court with any anger at all. That makes it easier for bron to have his way with him bcause like u say lebron is already 260.
DeleteOf course kids this generation are gonna say queen James is better then Kobe. These kids dk anything with there skinny Jeans n shit lmao. These r the same kids saying that lil Wayne is better then 2pac.
ReplyDeleteExactly I hate Lebron more than anyone. Dont like Kobe either but u put both in a one on one with Kobe in his prime he wouldnt just tear up Lebron but the whole NBA. Now yes Lebron is better than Kobe. Kobe is well past his prime just as VC and all the other stars of the late 90s early 00s
DeleteAnother good point. Rappers didnt use to wear colorful skinny jeans and shit. Just like ya favorite nba superstars didnt use to train together. Shits gettin gayer every year yall
DeletePreach shut yo dumb Ass up!!!!
DeleteMy bad I 4got u rock skinnys. Probably red huh?
DeleteWhy do yall hate this man so much? Even Stevie Wonder can see he is the best n the game. Kobe is a monster take nun from him but Lebron is like inhuman. Come in guys Lil Wayne better than Tupac? Where the hell do u stay @?
ReplyDeleteWhat makes Lebron different then the rest is his siize strength n speed. That's it. I said this on another post. That he is not offensively gifted as kd n kobe. But his size strength n speed alone allows him to do the things he does. That's it. That's not a knock on him at all. That's what he is built for. The reason why he won the championship is.bc he realized it too. No jumpshots everything in the paint. N as far as them.working out I have no problem with that. Its gonna make both of them better. Where I have a.problem is the friendship entering the court. I agree with skip to a certain extent. Don't think bron owns kd but he def didn't go at him like most of the past greats wud. N that's maybe where it begins. Its a different generation. Never use to see cats hugging n talking before or after games. Esp in the playoffs. U never saw cats helping n opponent off the floor. Just didn't happen. But it happens all the time now. Cats.don't have that killer instinct. The can be friends off the.court but once on the court that friendship is out the window. Im talking shit bumping grabbing throwing a few elbows. N I wud expect the same in return.
DeleteDude every thang changes wit time shit can't stay the same the world would stop turning. Them good old days gone don't get me wrong I miss them to. Trust me KD wanted Lebron head in them finals it's just not his turn yet. Ain't shit wrong wit them being friends. Hell aint nun better than beating yo home boy Ass. All real cats know that.
DeleteI said that tuhduh. I got no problem with them being friends. That friendship shit ends tho once u get on that court. N I agree that it wasn't his time. N tho he put up numbers he wasnt playing with fire in his belly. He didnt go at bron. Cats wasnt watching the same game i was if u disagree. Westbrook had that fire. N Idk if its bc kd n bron are friends but we've all seen kd with that fire. It wasn't there in the finals. In my opinion that was the main reason why it wasn't a series. Not saying the outcome wudve been diff but he is better then that. Things do change but some things dont. the basic competitiveness Shud not. Its not rec ball or hs ball. They playing in the nba. Im.not tryna hear the gotta b nice to each other while they play against each other. Of course but u go at ur homeboy u talk shit get physical n a lil dirty. Real cats no that. N after the game its all love n the shit talking continues. Straight like that
ReplyDeleteOk but if me and homeboy fighting over $ and championships (wat they play 4) then somebody gonna get killed...straight like that, so I dont know wat the fuck yall talkin about. Yea its ok to b cool off the court but training together to beat each other? Nah I dont get. Fact is if k.d. dont bring that type of nasty attitude or approach that u was talkin about n ya first comment yak, then he cant beat lebron. Lebron already got experience, ball handling, and strength on him but k.d. way better offensively so why not attack bron mentally? Make him play thru tha bows and the shit talk and get him out of that friendly element because thats where lebron wants to keep it at.
DeletePreach shut yo wanna b gangsta Ass the fuck up!! Man I bet u a pussy Ass bitch in person. Dick n the booty Ass bitch!!
DeletePreach I hear u. Idk what u mean by killed tho. Obviously I know u don't me literally but cats can go at it n still b cool. We use to do it as kids playing for nothing. Plenty of times me n my cousin came how fucked up bc we went at it on the court field or whatever. During practice or games. N on the way home the winner is talking shit n the loser waiting for tom to get em back. N I kno cats out there kno what im talking about. Perfect example of someone who has that switch is kobe. Kobe use to workout with cats in the offseason n im sure he still does but that def dont change anything once that ball is thrown up. Kd just needs to learn to flip that switch. Kd has to practice with the best to be the best. Who else will push kd to become better.?!
DeleteWell we know u a fraud n person cause u a fraud on this app. Listen to u...sounding like a internet gangsta...lol!
Delete^at that internet goon up there tuhduh. And nah yak they aint cousins or homeboys. They get paid for this, k.d. Got that whole okc franchise on his back. Big expectations and if they fail guys like us gonna talk shit. So yea they gotta b n kill mode, not nah I got respect thats my brother...fuck that. To much to loose by training with the enemy right b4 training camp begins...he seeing all ya new moves, seeing how ya game has progressed from 1 season to the next and knowing wat to look for from u.
DeleteAnd yak ive heard of kobe workin out playin pick up games with t mac, teammates, and guys who have played with the clipps thru the years but thats nothin like this. We talkin 1 on 1 training with basically ya main threat to the throne for the next decade or so.
DeleteI just don't see it that way. U play against the best to be the best. N at the end of the day cats already know what each other strengths n weaknesses are. That's what scouting reports r for. There's no secrets to what these guys r tryna do. That's the diff btw great n average players. Great players can get there's no matter what u kno or do. That's the point u missing. These players know each others game in n out. So im not buying that aspect. Like a said kobe trained n workout with cats. But u wudnt say that about him. Kd just needs to learn to flip that switch. N I think he will this season.
DeleteI hear what u saying about the main threat. But if cats can play with intensity n not like they best friends it will b crazy. That's my point. No matter how much they train together. They need to go at it. That's basically what it comes down. Cuz if they didn't train together n kd still came with that passiveness it wud b the same shit.
DeleteGotta agree with preach a bit on the last point. Obviously we can't control what players decide to do with their free time, but working out together makes no sense. It made sense last year during the lockout when teams weren't allowed to hold practices so therefore players took it upon themselves to do what they could. This however, is like sleeping with the enemy. If they are doing this now, it makes me not look forward to any of their match ups during the season. Learning each other's moves? Who knows. To me, it is going to rakes the competitiveness out of watching it. Are they rehearsing for that Broadway show for their epic opening night duel? Cause hats is what it looks like. Getting together to put on a show.
ReplyDeleteOn a side note, Some of you need to hop off the James bandwagon.
No, this is not smart on both of there part. U play with someone long enough u learn there strengths & weaknesses. Both of these dudes suppose to be using this time to add on new moves to confuse rivals not teach em what u just learned. I don't kmow bout this days. Skinny jeans, on court happy rivals LOL
