In a recent game, Kevin Durant faced scrutiny for a heated exchange with Coach Mike Budenholzer, captured by TNT cameras. Following their brief disagreement, Durant led a comeback that secured a crucial win for the Suns. He expressed frustration with how their interaction was portrayed on social media, clarifying that such exchanges are commonplace among passionate competitors. Durant emphasized the importance of their partnership, where both he and Budenholzer can voice opinions without it being seen negatively. He hopes the victory will overshadow the controversy surrounding their exchange.
"That's what usually happens when you don't know dynamics of the relationship... we [are] competitive as two individuals who want to see things done the right way."
"He allows me as a player... to voice my opinion. If we both didn't care, we would never have stuff like that, you know what I'm saying?"
