Kevin Durant had his first season with the Suns come to an end in humiliating fashion Thursday night, as they were blown at home by the Nuggets, 125-100, in Game 6 of their second-round series.
Durant won over a lot of fans after the game with his classy comments about Nuggets star (and two-time NBA MVP) Nikola Jokić, saying he’ll go down as one of the best centers to ever play the game.
Durant’s whole breakdown of Jokić and his game was pretty cool to hear, especially as the comments came just moments after such a deflating loss for the Suns star.
"I always knew how great he was...I wasn't surprised at all...he'll go down as one of the all-time great centers that ever touched a basketball"

Those comments all led to lots of fans making the same joke about Durant’s future, even though he’s under contract with the Suns through the 2025–26 season:
This dude sounds like he really wants to be on the nuggets 😂 https://t.co/5nIrlbjLRT
