Kevin Durant Defends Scott Brooks, Not a Fan of the Media

Oklahoma City Thunder/NBA(NEW YORK) — Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star Kevin Durant is tired of people asking about his head coach Scott Brooks job security.

Durant told reporters in New York on Saturday that they don’t know what they’re talking about in regards to that situation and even told them what questions they should ask instead.

“You guys really don’t know s—,” Durant told reporters when asked about Scott.

Brooks is in his seventh year coaching in Oklahoma City and has a 321-195 record, but the Thunder only have one NBA Finals appearance to show for it.

“To be honest, man, I’m only here talking to y’all because I have to,” Durant continued. “So I really don’t care. Y’all not my friends. You’re going to write what you want to write. You’re going to love us one day and hate us the next. That’s a part of it. So I just learn how to deal with y’all.”

Durant was voted the MVP last year and beat out LeBron James, but said on Friday that the media has too much power when it comes to voting.

“Yeah, I think media and guys get too much power to vote on stuff that quite frankly I don’t think you really know a lot about [or] as much as we know about it,” Durant said. “So, yeah, we play against these guys every single night. We battle against these guys. We know what they say on the court. We know how they handle their teammates. We know how they approach the game and our vote should count. Our opinions should count. Like I said, I don’t think you guys know as much as we do, and I don’t see why you have more power than we do.”
