Captain America: At 5am Kevin Durant Was Making Fun Of The 'Lames' And 'Cornballs' Who Were Rooting For Nikola Jokic To Beat Team USA

So this was really the tweet that started it all. A loser sounding tweet if you ask me. We're talking international basketball here, not some Division III school making the NCAA Tournament and bringing a 1 seed to the buzzer here. We're talking about a team full of professionals including Nikola Jokic and other NBA players. I don't know, you start talking about being proud like it's my 5-year old's team I think it sucks and is stupid. Also fuck anyone in the way of Team USA winning, we're American, we cheer for America. 

Luckily, Kevin Durant decided to take matters into his own hands: 

It's about 5am over in Paris and he decided enough is enough. Good. Spare me any thoughts on Kevin Durant, he's Captain America right now. You wanna cheer against America because you don't like KD or shit like that? Fine. Just know you earn the right for everyone to make fun of you. But don't worry Kevin Durant wasn't done yet: 

You know what? Say what you want about Kevin Durant, but he's right here. You wanna talk shit about him or his team, you earn the right for these guys to respond to you. Welcome to social media. I also appreciate the fact that KD doesn't care whether it's the Olympics or who he's responding to, he's gonna say what's on his mind. I also agree that you're a loser ahem, a lame and cornball, if you are from America and cheering for Serbia because you're a Nuggets fan. Nothing he said is wrong here. Everyone tries to push agendas and have these dumb arguments where there's no right answer. 

All I know is if any of you Americans are cheering for the goddamn French team because of Wemby, just know it's Gobert out there too. You want him to beat Team USA? I just hope we get a Frederic Weis situation on our hands again.
