Kevin Durant is once again getting into a war of words with a sports analyst.
Durant shot back at Keyshawn Johnson on social media Monday after Johnson made some comments that he considered defamatory on “Undisputed.”
Because of that, Johnson had a response of his own on Tuesday’s episode.
After a five-minute speech about Durant, his sensitivity, and his place in NBA history, Johnson concluded by saying, “Stop worrying about what people are saying.”

What was it that set Durant off?
On Monday’s show, Johnson said that Paul Pierce would have accomplished the same things Durant did with the Golden State Warriors.
He said it wasn’t Durant who made the Warriors so special, but the core of Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green.
Durant considered this a hypothetical statement and said so on Twitter, stating, “I hate hypotheticals.”
This isn’t the first time that Durant has battled with commentators, analysts, writers, or fans.
There have been many occasions when he has pushed back against someone’s statement about himself and his career.
Johnson is just the latest sports expert who is fighting with Durant, but he likely won’t be the last.
But he’s clearly not going to step down from his statements and is leaning into them even more.
Despite the heated rhetoric, Johnson said that Durant is still one of his favorite basketball players and considers him one of the best in the league.
However, that likely won’t ease tensions and Durant might have more to say soon.
