Kevin Durant bulldozed through an utterly outmatched Cam Thomas in his return game to his former team. It is a moment that will be replayed in highlight reels for days to come. Durant’s floater swished through the net as he drew a defensive foul. The crowd was on its feet, buzzing with excitement over Durant’s dominance.

However, the 6’11” Slim Reaper was not done yet. Post-shot, Kevin Durant turned to Cam Thomas and stared him down. He also made a ‘too small’ gesture by pinching his index finger and thumb close together. Meanwhile, Jusuf Nurkic grabbed the ball and slammed it to the ground as Durant further belittled 6’4″ Thomas by calling him “mini.”

The Phoenix Suns’ superstar Durant scored 33 points in the game with five rebounds and eight assists. He led his team to a 136-120 victory over the Brooklyn Nets. It was his first game back against his former team since the trade to Phoenix nearly a year ago. The Nets gave him a tribute video despite KD not asking them not to give him one.

Cam Thomas and Mikal Bridges performed well in the game. However, the Nets couldn’t stop the overpowered Suns. Jusuf Nurkic put up 28 points and 11 rebounds. Devin Booker had 22 points with eight assists to help Durant achieve victory on his return. Some would say Durant’s return might have made Nets fans think what could have been.

Cam Thomas once claimed he was better than Kevin Durant

Cam Thomas once claimed that he could outscore Kevin Durant after the results of a practice session. The ‘Slim Reaper’ is one of the greatest in a one-on-one matchup. This cheeky assertion came during a light-hearted conversation. Thomas playfully asserted that he was better than KD at his age in scoring.

However, these claims eventually came to Durant’s ears. The response from KD was as swift as his gameplay. Durant firmly set the record straight and laughed off Thomas’ claims. KD asserted he would win against Thomas in any matchups. Durant claimed Thomas scored those points because he sometimes didn’t bother to defend.

Furthermore, Durant made a bold claim. He asserted that when they would tally the score after a season, Cam would trail by a lot of points. He added that Cam’s recent claims cost him 20 points for their next practice matchup. This happened when KD was part of the Brooklyn Nets.
