Kevin Durant Responds to Fan’s Dodgers Comparison
Kevin Durant reacted sharply after a fan compared the Los Angeles Dodgers’ World Series triumph to his move to the Golden State Warriors. The comparisons came following the Dodgers’ dramatic Game 7 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays, which ended in the 11th inning.
Fans began drawing parallels between the Dodgers’ roster changes and Durant’s controversial 2017 switch from Oklahoma City to the Warriors. His relocation to the Bay Area, where he teamed up with Stephen Curry and others, brought three dominant seasons but also earned him a lasting “glory hunter” image.
“Hey, KD, you got company: there’s a couple of guys on the Dodgers who got beat by the eventual world champs back in 2020, and they just joined them in ‘25 and won, just like you did in ‘17.”
This remark, referring to Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow—players who lost to the Dodgers in the 2020 World Series before finally winning with them in 2025—sparked Durant’s response on social media, reminding fans that every athlete seeks to compete at the highest level.
