Defensive end Myles Garrett has played 11 games in his professional career. His team, the Cleveland Browns, lost every one of those games.
Kevin Durant, on the other hand, just won his second consecutive NBA Finals MVP with the Golden State Warriors.
Garrett, however, isn’t impressed. Last year’s first-overall pick in the NFL Draft slammed Durant’s decision to join the Warriors in an interview on WKRK-92.3 in Cleveland Thursday, saying that KD, “took the easy way out” by joining Golden State two off-seasons ago.
“With KD, you just stick him in, and he scores,” Garrett said. “You already knew what they had. They were 73-9 before, and you put the second-best player in the world on an already all-time great team, and of course you’re going to have success, pretty easy success. Anyone can have an off night and they can still find a way to win.
“If I were him I would’ve never made a move like that in the first place,” Garrett continued. “Me, I’m too competitive to try and ride on somebody’s coattails to get a W. But for him, you might as well stay at the spot you’re at now. There’s no point in leaving since you’ve already taken that moniker where he’s been called the snake and cupcake and all that.
“You might as well stay and just keep on winning.”
Durant will do just that according to a report by Chris Haynes of ESPN, who said KD will re-sign with Golden State this offseason.
During the NBA Finals, Durant averaged 28.8 points, 10.8 rebounds, 7.5 assists, and 2.3 blocks per game.
