TrashTalk Award – S04 E12: Kevin Durant knows the law of the strongest well, Evan Fournier learned it the hard way

  • No Comments

The NBA is never the last to bring its share of verbal protrusions of all kinds between its various protagonists. And inevitably, count on us to identify them as often as possible, because without being too first degree, we are fond of these muscular duels. So, who do you think is the biggest mouth of the moment?

The previous edition of the TrashTalk Award was won by Kevin Durant who maintains his beautiful rivalry with Joel Embiid.

Candidate #1: Kevin Durant thinks Evan Fournier can’t defend on him

Inevitably, Kevin Durant had to put his title back into play. Needless to say that the former Thunder and Warriors will sell his skin dearly. For this edition, his victim is none other than the “hairless Charenton” Evan Fournier. While the Frenchy was responsible for defending KD during the last New York derby, KD decided to take care of the penalty, and it goes well beyond a shot at Mister Champagne’s nose. Durantula thought he was in Top Chef revisited the classic “too small”.

After marking his jumper on the face of Fournier, Kevin Durant did not lower his hand flush with the floor, but mimed it with his fingers, this valve makes Evan even smaller than he could to be. KD’s resentment seems tenacious towards the French players, he who clearly explained that he did not like the players who had defeated him during the last group stages of the Olympic Games.

Candidate # 2: the turn of Karl-Anthony Towns and Patrick Beverley (him again) to winnow Russell Westbrook

Vanner Russell Westbrook is the most prolific running-gag of the moment. The last who have lent themselves to the game evolve on the side of the Timberwolves and one of them is not at his first attempt. They are Karl-Anthony Towns and his great friend Patrick Beverley. Not content with having won against the Pourpre et Or (not the most complicated thing at the moment, we agree), the two Zouaves will savor Russ. Seeing the Brodie send a hang glider through the air of the Target Center, Towns and Bev ‘merged like Sangoku and Vegeta to pay the face of the leader of the Lakers.

“In the playoffs every year, two-time Western Conference finalist with two different teams. What is the best ? Individual or collective stats? I thought it was a team sport. »

KAT grabs the rebound, looks up to see if it was a plane or just a shot he saw in the distance. He entrusts the inflate to his leader who will then throw the ball in the air and mimic the fear of seeing it land on his ganache. But it is very bad to know Patoche to think that he will stop in such a good way. He continues to insinuate that Westbrook is busted on the ground before holding his nose, to imply that his game smells of Neapolitan garbage or the low tide of Saint Brieuc, before finishing his accounts with Russ on Twitter. Can’t wait for the Netflix series on their bromance.

Candidate #3: Devin Booker makes sure to room every Wolves fan at Target Center

Devin Booker is a confident man, spearheading the attack of the best team in the NBA, he gains confidence day after day, not only in his game but also in his banter. The last NBA finalist obviously had scores to settle with some heads present at Target Center, during the last clash against the Timberwolves. Taking care of air conditioning the room Karl Toko-Ekambi way, or cropping some fans a little too talkative.

“Your mouth is swelling. »

Necessarily well educated by Chris Paul or even Jae Crowder at this level, Booker handles trash talk to perfection. After having swung an award-winning shot that was devastating to perfection, to seal the victory of his people 125 to 116, he made the rounds of the owner in the room of the Wolves, to ensure that each person present had their dose of seum. Previously, he even allowed himself to respond to one of them who probably attacked him verbally, while he was passing the ball. Devin Booker is starting to go to the dark side very seriously, and we love it.

Candidate #4: Andre Drummond taunts Heat defenders before going up to dunk

Despite his large size, Andre Drummond is still a big child who probably throws himself into the ball pools at McDonald’s. On a counter-attack during which he intercepts the ball and ends up dunking, he decided to place one on the Heat’s defense, which chased after him trying to stop him, unfortunately without success since the pivot ended up crushing the dunk, even if we weren’t necessarily confident at first.

Driving a pachiderme ball as well as the speed in x0.5 led us to believe in a premature exit from the road for the hairy shoulder, but in the end, Dédé Drummond flattened the swelling in the circle, not without forgetting to leave a little “Peace and Love” sign to latecomers, just to make them understand that they couldn’t catch up. Drummond still had some guts considering he must have around 36 speed over 2K. But all’s well that ends well for him, especially as the Nets won that game 110-95.

Candidate #5: Draymond Green reminds Jae Crowder where he really comes from

During the last game between Suns and Warriors, Draymond Green and Jae Crowder kept warming each other up, and looking for trouble. What could be more normal for two of the most famous hotheads in the league? As we say in the jargon, fire against fire, well that makes a bigger fire. Still embittered by the defeat of his family without Stephen Curry against the simply unplayable Suns, Green took care of finishing Burna Boy.

“You snapped twice. If you want to play that then we can. You’re from Buckhead, it’s a nice neighborhood, you’re not like that normally. »

The highlight of an evening rich in clashes between the two players is this tirade of Green on Crowder. We do not see when it necessarily brings more “street cred” to come from a ghetto where the danger is permanent, but beautiful neighborhoods or not, Jae Crowder has probably forged himself, in a way or a another, this toughness, whereas Draymond Green grew up in this kind of tough environment. We want to say everyone manages their image in their own way, and if it brings us exchanges of this style, at the limit, we take it.

Bonus candidate: DeMarcus Cousins ​​laughs at James Harden

DeMarcus Cousins ​​will always be DeMarcus Cousins, even if he is no longer the same player he was before his multiple injuries. The former Sacramento hothead still takes pleasure in seeing some players get out of their hinges because of his provocations. The latest is none other than James Harden, following a tough intervention, James Harden seems to half want to do battle with him, half want not to brag too much.

You can read a certain fear in the eyes of the bearded man, and DMC, seeing that, started laughing like a kid. A simple, but effective reaction, from the pivot, who rubbed shoulders with Harden at the Rockets, and who was a thousand miles from having appreciated the behavior of the back when he forced his transfer to the Nets…
