Kevin Durant was jogging onto the pitch to Warmup before the match, as Durant was stepping onto the court a couple shouted “Bitch” at him from the sidelines. Durant suddenly stopped and asked “What” before walking up to the pair. The couple instantly changed to a friendly stance with the woman offering Durant a handshake. Durant swiftly refused the handshake which seemed to agitate the women.

The man tried to apologize and justify the insult by mentioning a dead relative and tried to give other bizarre justifications.
The male fan tried to change the topic by saying “I host a podcast about sports,”.Durant went on to ignore the pair completely and rejoined his teammates on the court.
KD spoke with reporters after the game to discuss the incident.
“It’s like, they don’t look at us as humans sometimes. So when you get a chance to let a person know how you feel real quick, then they’ll backtrack,” he said.
“See, we’re animals, we’re circus acts, we’re entertainers to them instead of real people.”
