Jayden Moore said he was jumping up and down with other members of his basketball team at Hopkins High School in Minnetonka, Minnesota, on Monday, but it had nothing to do with an alley-oop, a buzzer beater or a thrilling comeback.
During a break at practice, they learned Kevin Durant had retweeted a video of Moore attempting a flashy move on the basketball court. Kevin freaking Durant!
Only upon closer inspection, they discovered Durant, the 11-time NBA All-Star, tweeted about the move, "This (expletive) stinks."
As of Tuesday night, Durant’s tweet had been liked more than 176,000 times and retweeted more than 18,000 times.
Moore, a 13-year-old point guard, said he was hurt and confused by Durant’s comment.
"Like, what made him take time out of his day to say something negative instead of encouraging me or telling what really needs to be done and then texting me privately or something like that," Moore said.
