Kevin Durant is once again engaging with fans on Twitter.
The latest conversation revolves around the discussion of different basketball rules outside of the NBA during major international tournaments.
Fans often debate whether the NBA should adopt some of FIBA’s rules, with many suggesting fewer timeouts to keep the game flowing smoothly.
However, Durant isn’t convinced that those calling for rule changes truly understand the game.
Here is a recent exchange between Durant and a fan on Twitter:
Twitter user: Please @NBA adopt more @FIBA rules and let us see the best really think the game and play the game like it’s meant to be played
KD: I swear yall just be yappin. What rules u wanna see man?
Twitter user: I want to see the 3 seconds back and that’s it…. you disagree? More movement less ISO / Quicker Decisions – keep 3s the same as NBA – Can’t knock off the rim (that’s dumb)
KD: If u want to eliminate defensive 3 seconds then the games will be slower.
Twitter user: I don’t disagree with that (i’m 40 so i’m late 90s basketball lo) … but more schemes & quicker decisions offensively not as much holding NBA is fine man lol it’s the best product in the world with the best players PERIOD – would love to see it … i’m watching yall do it now
KD: The beauty of basketball is not callin all them sets but playing off instincts and lettin the talent dictate the game..gettin out in transition, driving and kicking, playing random basketball. U want a trick play every possession like it’s football. That’s not why our game is beautiful
Twitter user: That works when your team is stacked 1-5. It does ‘t work when you need to get the best out of every player on the floor in different aspects (screens, passes, cuts) when your team has guys all playing roles, you need play calling.
KD: Random basketball!! U not comprehending what I’m saying. U can RANDOMLY set a screen, RANDOMLY back cut, RANDOMLY make a pass to the open man. Focus on what I’m saying.
As always, Durant is not afraid to speak his mind.
