It seemed like Nikola Jokic and his Serbian team were going to beat the Americans on Thursday at the Paris Olympics.
Then Team USA rallied back in a huge way and overtook the Serbians in a massive comeback that had the world talking.
Even though Kevin Durant was a major part of that victory, it wasn’t enough for him and he continued battling afterward.
Only this time, the battling was done online.
According to Yahoo Sports, Durant sent a message to Denver Nuggets fans who were rooting for Jokic during the game.
“To all you nuggets fans, nobody gives a f— who yall lames believe is the best player in the league,” Durant started.
He continued, “players got major respect for Jok, we don’t worship him like yall do but most are in awe of his brilliance. Trolling you cornballs for rooting against us is apart of the game. Deal wit it.”

There were definitely a number of Nuggets fans who were rooting for Serbia during the big game, mostly so they could see their star player shine once again.
And shine he did.
Jokic was fantastic yet again and proved why many people consider him the best player on the planet.
But these fans rooting for Jokic didn’t sit well with Durant and he felt like he had to respond.
Even with Serbia’s loss, Jokic might still be the best player in the world.
However, he will not be a gold medalist this year while Durant is just one win away from taking home that prize yet again.
