NBA superstar Kevin Durant slams social media user who claimed NBA is easier than European Basketball. The fan had responded to a post quoting EuroLeague player Kyle Hines, who likened the NBA to checkers and the Euroleague to chess.

In addition, the fan suggested that NBA players like Joel Embiid wouldn’t be able to average 30 points in the Euroleague, despite Embiid’s impressive 33.1-point average in the 2022/23 season.

The ongoing debate about the NBA’s standing in the basketball world intensified following Team USA’s disappointing performance in the FIBA World Cup.

Durant, a staunch advocate for the NBA, responded to the fan’s tweet with forceful language, rejecting the idea that the NBA is less challenging.

Fuck outta here lmao. Y’all are insane

The fan argued that the NBA is structured to favor scoring and that NBA players don’t prioritize defense. Durant disagreed with these claims, suggesting that B-Moe (the fan) might simply be playing the contrarian.

B-Moe persisted, arguing that while the NBA may be more popular and lucrative, it doesn’t necessarily equate to being more competitive or demanding. Durant countered by recommending that B-Moe purchase a EuroLeague TV package to watch games.

Their exchange highlighted the ongoing debate about the relative competitiveness of the NBA and European basketball, with Durant firmly defending the NBA’s level of competition.
