Kevin Durant says he gets distracted when baddies are in the stands: “When Rihanna walks in, it’s hard not to notice her”

KD says he can’t help but look at all the baddies that are in the stands.    

Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant is one of the most cold-blooded scorers in the NBA’s history. We saw that on full display when KD lit up Serbia in his first game for the ‘Avengers’ team in Paris.

In that game, Durant came off the bench and knocked down his first 8 shots, including five three-pointers, en route to a spectacular 21-point first-half performance.

But as automatic and unshakable as KD looks when he’s on the basketball court, the 2014 NBA MVP admits that he still gets distracted by the fans in the stands, especially good-looking women.

“If baddies on the stands, for sure,” said Durant. “If there’s celebs around the floor, you definitely want to see who it is and politic…When Rihanna walks in, it’s hard not to notice her.”



There is only one Bad Girl

Although she isn’t as active today as she was during her peak, the music icon can still mesmerize like no other. In her first live appearance in five years, Rihanna’s performance made the Super Bowl LVII halftime show the most-watched halftime show with over 121 million viewers.

Given her popularity and appeal, it’s no surprise that KD is interrupted when Rihanna enters the arena. There are plenty of beautiful women in the world and many desirable ladies on the planet. But there is only one Riri.



The Barbadian singer has been labeled as the ‘Sexiest Woman Alive’ several times by different media outlets. No matter how she chooses to look and dress, she has always been eye candy for her male fans.

KD doesn’t want a girlfriend

You can’t blame Durant, though, for keeping his eyes on the baddies on the court. That’s because the 35-year-old NBA star is single and prefers to stay that way. During the same interview, KD admitted that he isn’t in a relationship because he doesn’t want a girlfriend.

Durant’s last public relationship was with former WNBA player Monica Wright, with whom KD was once engaged in 2013. The engagement, however, was shortlived and the couple broke up. Since then, nothing has been heard of the Slim Reaper’s love life. But that doesn’t mean he hasn’t been enjoying life.



‘The Slim Reaper’ also once became controversial for tweeting that he would drink Scarlett Johannsen’s bath water. He was also rumored to have dated adult actress Lana Rhoades. During his interview on Impulsive, Durant was asked if he knew internet star Corinna Kopf, and he said he’d seen her before. So yeah, KD’s always locked in on the target, whether it’s hoops or baddies.
