News: Kevin Durant Unleashes Controversial Rant on NBA ‘Crash Dummies’
The star player for the Phoenix Suns, Kevin Durant, blamed floppers for their careless behavior and injuries, claiming that he avoided them and had a healthy season as a result.
The seasoned top player for the Phoenix Suns, Kevin Durant, has had one of his best seasons in terms of health. Durant participated in 75 games during the regular season with the Suns this year.
Durant feels that his avoidance of “floppers,” or players who overstate contact in order to gain a foul call from the officials, is what allowed him to have this healthy season. This year, no players flopped into my legs. I had an opponent and a teammate bump into me twice in the last two years, which resulted in MCL injuries,” Durant told The Arizona Republic.
I’m relieved that nobody flopped into me, but I doubt I would have played as many games if it hadn’t been for that. Had a few bothersome injuries, but they were minor, everyday issues. I’m appreciative of that.
In an attempt to prevent injury issues, Durant said he simply tries to stay away from certain players, giving the impression that he had a few names in mind. “You know, just stay away from the crash dummies.
The guys that dive on the floor to try to sell a call and don’t care whether they hurt someone,” Durant said. He said, “I try to stay away from those guys because I know who they are,” but he did not give any names.
Like I said, avoiding the floppers this year,” Durant restated his key to a successful campaign. The Suns and Minnesota Timberwolves will play in the opening round of the playoffs after the Suns finished sixth in the Western Conference.
With regular season averages of 27.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 5 assists per game, Durant helped his club win the championship.
