Kevin Durant has just finished his 16th season in the NBA. The 35-year-old power forward has played for four teams: the Oklahoma City Thunder, Golden State Warriors, Brooklyn Nets, and Phoenix Suns. He is often debated for his incredible three seasons with the Warriors, where he won two championships for the franchise and nearly missed a third.

However, an NBA analyst recently undervalued Durant’s impact on the Warriors during a discussion on the show “Undisputed.” Keyshawn Johnson, an American former football wide receiver, mentioned that the outcome would have been the same if Paul Pierce had been on the Warriors alongside Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and Stephen Curry.

“If I put Paul Pierce on the Golden State Warriors with Klay Thompson and Draymond and Steph Curry. You don’t think he could do the same stuff?” Johnson said.

However, Durant didn’t stay quiet after Johnson’s remark and fired back with a bold statement on his social media account on X (Formerly Known as Twitter).

“If the Jets would’ve taken Jonathan Ogden, Marvin Harrison, Ray Lewis, or Eddie George number 1, they would’ve been better off……I hate hypotheticals.” Durant wrote in his latest post on X.

RUMOR: Dak Prescott Predicted To Leave Dallas Cowboys For Record-Setting Contract

Surprisingly, the Dallas Cowboys have yet to extend star quarterback Dak Prescott as the 2024 regular season inches closer.

The 31-year-old Dak Prescott is entering the last season of a four-year contract extension worth $160 million that he signed with Dallas in 2021. Prescott has all the leverage now after seeing fellow quarterbacks Tua Tagovailoa (Miami Dolphins) and Jordan Love (Green Bay Packers) sign extensions north of $200 million just last week.

Prescott’s deal with Dallas also contains no-tag and no-trade clauses, so the three-time Pro Bowler can hit free agency next summer if Jerry Jones doesn’t finalize an extension. And if that happens, Prescott will be the biggest name to enter the open market next year.

Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox predicted the future contracts for Prescott and San Francisco 49ers signal-caller Brock Purdy after the Tagovailoa and Love extensions. Knox projects that Prescott will leave Dallas and sign a four-year, $224 million deal in free agency:

“The Dallas Cowboys have botched pretty much every aspect of Prescott’s contract situation throughout this offseason. It began early, when franchise owner and team president Jerry Jones stated that he wanted to see more before handing out extensions to Prescott, CeeDee Lamb and Micah Parsons…

If Kirk Cousins, at 35 and coming off a torn Achilles, can get a four-year deal worth $45 million annually in free agency, Prescott can get considerably more. That reality might have Jones coming to grips with the fact that he’ll be looking for a new quarterback in 2025…

It’s starting to feel like a split between Dallas and Prescott is inevitable.”
