That’s the most level headed way to react to the situation. Props to KD.

> My thing was like, even though you called me a b—- as I’m running out with my back turned, people usually do that, call me coward, b—- with my back turned, and it wasn’t too many people around,” Durant told reporters postgame, including Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic.
> “I know you don’t mean that, and I’m not going to get you kicked out because you paid your money for these tickets, you had a couple of drinks, and I understand how people get, but (there are) better ways to try to get my attention and talk to me other than call me a b—- out my name because you’re protected in these arenas.

Respect to KD, that’s a mature way to handle hecklers.

Fans are way too much sometimes 🙄 Just be decent, enjoy the show.

Shots fired at Westbrook! /s …kinda…

I gained a lot of respect for KD there. And lost a lot for my fellow Mavs fans

The internet has made people too loose lipped for their own good. You can’t talk to people in person the way you would online. You may get a fist in your mouth…

Great response by KD… but you can get tossed from the arena for calling someone a *bitch* ? Bruh.. 😂

I don’t think calling someone a bitch or to get on a treadmill is crossing the line. Crossing the line would be insulting someone’s kids or embarking racists comments. Good on KD for addressing it but not getting them kicked out.

KD PR masterclass

That is a good way to deal with it, still the Snek though

Kd spends too much time on Twitter for bitch to bother him

I love KD, except when my team plays him.

KD made the right decision here.

Cause that would in fact have made him a bitch.

This NBA era is so weak. Just go play basketball and stop crying. How mentally weak can you be to care what some nobody says to you? Pathetic.

This is the best PR KD’s gotten in years.

As a Mavs fan bro you gotta respect it, he could’ve easily been like fuck these dudes callin me a bitch to my back get them tossed. Respect it tbh

I don’t like Durant as a fan but I sure as hell respect him. He’s one of the most level headed dudes in the league.

The funny thing here is that there have been a lot of fans that admired KD and said a lot of positive things to him but got completely ignored yet the guy that calls him a bitch gets to meet him and talk to him. There is a lesson here but I’ve had too many glasses of red wine tonight to figure out what that lesson is.

Class act, KD!

Alright. Fine, ill root for you KD… but only you! Damn i hate the suns but ill do it for kd.

Now if he would’ve had them kicked I’m almost certain. A lot of yall would’ve still Been callling him a. Bitch

I love KD bro 🤣

KD’s response valid but NBA players are so sensitive. I’ve just never seen so many grown ass dudes get bothered by the word “bitch” like damn.
futurehousehusband69
waaay too classy of a response, he had every right to throw them out and they had none to yell insults at him

Not necessarily a KD fan or hater, but class move here. Great composure.

I love that time Tom Cruise had water thrown in his face and he turned it around on the guy by calmly telling him his joke wasn’t very funny and he’s just a jerk.
Compare that to like, Will Smith.
These guys probably get shit all day whenever they go out so to see them be calm and collected about it is cool. Plus he probably just made 2 more fans.

Ppl calling it a W for KD, but I also think it wouldn’t be an L if he allowed them to get tossed from the building
