Messing with Brooklyn Nets marquee player, Kevin Durant hasn’t been considered as the greatest move in the NBA. Be it his current NBA season, or his stint with the Golden State Warriors, KD was reckoned as the force to reckon with, a player who knew how to deliver when the stakes were high.

Given the mega stage, Durant once faced a fearless, flamboyant, and courageous rival. That too, not on the court but on the sidelines, in the form of singer Rihanna.

But one other rivalry was formed in the particular Final Series, between Kevin Durant and Rihanna.
