Kevin Durant is focused on preparing himself for the 2024 Summer Olympics with Team USA, but he’s also having a bit of fun in his downtime too.
Durant recently took on notorious streamer Speed in a game of HORSE, and you can probably guess how this battle ended up going.
Unsurprisingly, KD ended up coming out victorious. In reaction to his loss, though, Speed started barking in Durant’s face, with the clip of the incident quickly going viral on social media.

For those unfamiliar with Speed, this is something he does frequently in jest, so it’s not as if he and Durant have some sort of beef that is unfolding in real time. It’s just not how folks were expecting him to react to his loss.

Durant is one of the best shooters in NBA history, so it’s not very surprising that he was able to put Speed down in this contest.
His shot looks pretty good here, though, and if he can shoot like this once the Games get underway, Team USA will be even tougher to beat than initially expected.
