The Los Angeles Lakers had one of their best games of the regular season against the Phoenix Suns.
It was a sensational matchup from the very first whistle, and it finished with the Lakers registering a 122-119 win over the Suns.
A key highlight of the game was LeBron James and Kevin Durant’s impressive battle during the game.
Both players ended up scoring more than 30 points, but it was James’ team who finished the night with an amazing win.
During the game, a picture of LeBron James and Kevin Durant talking to each other while smiling went viral.
A fan berated the two superstars for smiling and showing a lack of competitive nature against each other, and Durant blasted the fan on Twitter.
At some point, yall non athletes gon realize that friends compete harder against one another.

Durant had a simple reaction to the fans’ call out as he mentioned friends compete harder than anyone against each other.
Moreover, LeBron James seemingly agreed with Kevin Durant as the Lakers superstar posted a picture of Charles Barkley and Michael Jordan smiling while playing against each other.
While it’s important to have a competitive drive when playing in the NBA, and for some, it’s a huge source of motivation to be a better player, every player in the league is not the same.
In their recent matchup, LeBron James and Kevin Durant put on a show despite their friendship with each other.
All things considered, isn’t getting memorable matches the ultimate goal for most fans around the globe?
After all, fans do not have long before the two superstars retire from the NBA, and they should praise them until they can.
