Awkward NBA star hits the club after disappointing season

It’s easy to imagine how Kevin Durant found himself in the spotlight for reasons other than his basketball prowess. The star forward, looking to shake off a disappointing season and persistent trade rumors involving the Phoenix Suns, decided to hit the nightclub. Someone likely encouraged him to “shoot his shot,” but not quite like this.

Durant Scares Women Away at the Club

In an unexpected twist, Durant attempted to use his famed jump shot as a dance move and a flirtation tactic. Unfortunately, the women in the club didn’t seem impressed by his basketball skills. A viral video circulating on social media shows people clearing out around the lanky forward as he danced.

“telling the girls he played with Steph Curry,” a fan joked on X, formerly Twitter.

“In the club flexing your shooting motions as a dance move is crazy,” commented another.

Awkward Both Online and Offline

“This is how Twitter trolls act around girls,” mocked another user. Durant, previously exposed for using burner accounts on social media, continues to face scrutiny both online and offline. Over the weekend, he was rumored to have a Tinder profile, but he quickly denied these allegations from his personal X account.

Suns Rumored to be Trading Durant

As the Phoenix Suns strive to remain competitive, they face the challenge of injecting youth into their roster while balancing financial constraints. With volume scorers like Bradley Beal, Devin Booker, and Durant on hefty contracts totaling $150 million next year, the Suns lack the flexibility to acquire additional star players. This financial predicament has fueled speculation that trading Durant might be their only viable option to reshape the team.

Stephen A. Smith recently highlighted the tension on ESPN’s First Take, revealing that Durant went over a month without speaking to his head coach.

Durant Living His Best Life Amid Trade Rumors

Despite the trade rumors and off-court awkwardness, Durant seems to be enjoying himself. Although his club antics led to some embarrassing moments, his dedication to basketball remains evident. As trade talks continue, potential NBA suitors like the Golden State Warriors can take solace in knowing that Durant’s mind is never far from the game. Perhaps next time, though, he might stick to taking liquor shots instead of jump shots in the club.
