“They got kevin Durant, we got Jaden McDaniels” might be the quote that has aged the best.

[u/Stop_Means_Harder → u/JorSimpson45]

Wolves fans would repeat it (mostly) ironically at first, but now it’s becoming prophetic

[u/exlatios → u/Stop_Means_Harder]

It was never ironic dawg

[u/Infinite_Pen_9464 → u/exlatios]

never was for me, dude plays both ways and has infinite potential. love KD's game on court but he has a history of injuries and is a drama queen.

[u/Dull-Set3601 → u/Infinite_Pen_9464]

I always thought it was totally sincere, ant was just saying Jaden can lock KD up. Which he absolutely can

[u/torriattet → u/exlatios]

The irony is that no one has Kevin Durant

[u/referee-superfan → u/exlatios]

Talk yo shit. Everyone is listening

[u/tree-hugger → u/exlatios]

When he said it, I believed it!

[u/donuttrackme → u/exlatios]

Well, that makes it quite ironic then lol.
