Kevin Durant Strongly Disagrees With Notion That LeBron James Runs Lakers

Kevin Durant makes headlines every time he opens his mouth and this time he mentioned LeBron James. Yes, fans will have fun discussing these two. LeBron and Durant have nothing but respect for one another. They have spent a lot of time on the basketball court going against one another.

Kevin Durant makes bold LeBron James claim

It’s more than obvious that both LeBron and Durant speak their mind whenever their respective teams get to make a decision. According to Durant, this is not the case with LeBron.

“I feel like that’s a narrative that [media created]. I don’t even think LeBron does that,” Durant told Vincent Goodwill from Yahoo! Sports. “He might have input or know some information. But him saying [pointing left], ‘This is who you should get.’ [Points right.] ‘That’s who you should get,’ I don’t think it works like that.

“I’ve been around Steph [Curry], he doesn’t work like that. Let people do their jobs. It’s not on me to overstep what they do. I’m just here to support. If they need me to text or call somebody that may come, of course.”

Durant won’t get a chance to win a ring this season. His Nets lost four straight games in the series against the Boston Celtics. It’s time to go home with a big L on his back.

KD is doing a really good job. The Nets got him right after he left the Golden State Warriors. He was averaging 26.3 points, 6.3 assists, and 5.8 rebounds in 44.0 minutes per game in the first-round series. Durant shot 38.6 percent from the field, 33.3 percent from downtown, and 89.5 percent from the free throw line.

LeBron didn’t even make the playoffs this season. The Lakers remained outside the playoff picture. Players sustained too many injuries. LeBron and Anthony Davis missed a big chunk of the regular season.
