Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant had some words for Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James after throwing down a sick dunk Sunday.
Kevin Durant isn’t regarded as a huge trash talker, but the Oklahoma City Thunder star had some fun with LeBron James on Sunday. After throwing down a sick dunk towards the end of the first half on Sunday, Durant could be seen jawing with LeBron.

While it seems LeBron is going to get the last laugh with a Cleveland Cavaliers victory, it’s awesome to see Durant go after LeBron.
The two are the best players in the league and it’s great to see them go head-to-head and battle like they did Sunday. Unless the Cavs and Thunder meet in the NBA Finals, Sunday’s game marked the final time we will see the two face off (aside from the All-Star Game) this season.
LeBron is averaging 26.0 points, 7.4 assists and 5.5 rebounds per game this season while Durant is averaging 25.3 points, 3.9 assists and 6.8 rebounds per game.
LeBron’s Cavaliers currently have the fifth best record in the Eastern Conference as Durant’s Thunder are on the outside looking in at the playoff picture with the 10th best record in the Western Conference.
