While debates between European and NBA players have raged for several days, Kevin Durant recently spoke in an ultra-cash manner on the subject. And suffice to say that his strong opinion may not bring everyone into agreement…
As European players begin to become more and more dominant in the NBA and the Germans were recently crowned world champions, some debates are gaining momentum. Many wonder about the future given the level of American basketball and it only feels like the beginning. In fact, Europe is starting to gain more and more credit across the Atlantic.
KD speaks bluntly about the gap between the NBA and Europe
Often tarnished for its defensive performances deemed too lax, the NBA seems to be losing ground compared to basketball developed on the Old Continent. A former Warriors player recently spoke on the subject and continued to discredit the North American league. We must also believe that he only opened the way, as evidenced by the recent exit of American star from Milan Kyle Hines:
EuroLeague player Kyle Hines:
“I’d say the NBA is checkers and Europe is chess.”

I think the NBA is checkers and the EuroLeague is chess.

With this punchline, Hines therefore assures that European basketball requires much more thought than that of the NBA. Obviously, none of this will please NBA stars who have always been considered the best players in the world. While the controversy was in full swing on social networks, Kevin Durant insisted on sending a scathing response and was not careful:
Fuck outta here lmao. Y’all are insane

B-Tired : The NBA is easy and the EuroLeague is difficult. Everyone says it, Embiid cannot score 30 points per game in Europe!
Kevin Durant : Get out of here lol. You’re all crazy.
In this heated exchange with the artist B-Moe, the Suns winger clearly shows that he does not really appreciate seeing the NBA destroyed by criticism. He therefore continued to try to chat with this fan, but quickly gave up:
Brother, no one takes you seriously talking like that, you’re trying to be trashy just to seem different. You won my brother. I hope you paid for your subscription to watch the EuroLeague on TV and support these guys this year.
At the moment, nothing is going well between Europe and the NBA. While the North American league has always seemed superior, recent releases suggest that the EuroLeague is gaining ground, even if Kevin Durant does not agree at all with this opinion…
