Kevin Durant Mum On Details Of Hushed Conversation With LeBron James

The Los Angeles Lakers will look for another big name this summer, and Kevin Durant is one of their choices.

Cameras caught the Lakers star and LeBron whispering during the Warriors’ win over the Lakers. Fans went crazy!

But, Durant doesn’t pay that much attention to the convo.

“Everybody wants to know what we’re talking about,” he said. “It wasn’t even that serious. Just laughing and joking and catching up.”

Durant hasn’t made a decision on his future career, and fans are following every move he makes.

“Everybody is so interested, especially in LeBron. So whoever he talks to, the lipreaders are going to try to figure that out,” Durant said. “You guys are infatuated with that whole thing. It’s fun. People try to figure it out.”

Is there really a chance that Durant signs with LeBron’s team?

“So much hype comes from being around LeBron from other people,” Durant said earlier this season. “He has so many fanboys in the media … writers just fawn over him. I’m like, we’re playing basketball here, and it’s not even about basketball at certain points. So I get why anyone wouldn’t want to be in that environment because it’s toxic. Especially when the attention is bulls**t attention, fluff. It’s not LeBron’s fault at all; it’s just the fact you have so many groupies in the media that love to hang on every word. Just get out of the way and let us play basketball.”

But, his words were taken out of contest. That’s what both LeBron and Durant said.

I was a little pissed off when I first heard it, to be honest,” the Lakers said when asked about Durant’s comments. “I didn’t know where it stemmed from. … I was asked later on that night after our game, and I didn’t want to comment because I didn’t see it, I didn’t hear it. … I started uninterrupted for a reason, and I know how sound bites can be chopped and diced and things of that nature, so I wanted to get the whole layout of what actually happened. He felt the story took a twist, and as a man, I don’t hold on to things too long. I’m too happy in my life right now, and I don’t hold on to anything that will take away from my happiness.”
