Kevin Durant, a 35-year-old superstar for the Phoenix Suns, recently addressed the notion that the EuroLeague is more challenging than the NBA.

Many basketball fans, especially in recent years, have drawn parallels between the Euroleague and the NBA.

Kyle Hines, a veteran of the Italian team Olimpia Milano, used the analogy “NBA is checkers and European basketball is chess” to highlight the difficulty and strategic depth of the EuroLeague.

Kevin Durant, star forward for the Phoenix Suns and one of the greatest players in NBA history, took aim at a user who commented below this post. The conversation between Durant and the internet user goes as follows:

A user said, “EuroLeague is harder, everyone says the same.”There’s no way Joel Embiid can average 30 points per game.

Kevin Durant: “Come on! “You’re seriously crazy”

User: “In the NBA, it’s all about scoring points; there’s no defending.”

Man, talking like this guy (Kyle Hines), you’ll never get anyone to take you seriously,” said Kevin Durant. You dismantle your identity so that you can appear unique.
