“Better than Antonio Brown?”: When Kevin Durant called Jimmy Butler an absolute IDIOT for saying that he can be the best Wide Receiver in the NFL

Antonio Brown, this one name invokes so many emotions. In recent times, he has been in the limelight mostly for all the wrong reasons. Who can forget the biggest stunt of his career which he pulled off against the Jets when he completely lost his cool and tossed his T-shirt and gloves into the crowd.

After that, as expected, Antonio was kicked out of the Bucs’ camp. After staying quiet for a while, Antonio gave the explanation for the meltdown in which he accused Bruce Arians of forcing him to play with an ankle injury. However, there was a time when Antonio was second to none in the league.

Back in 2016, Brown had an incredible season and was given the top spot on Fantasy Football WR Rankings. He played a huge role in guiding the Steelers to several important wins. However, an NBA star, during that time had claimed that he can take Brown’s position as the top WR in the NFL.

Yes, we are talking about Jimmy Butler who once, back in 2016, famously claimed that he can easily play in the NFL and even take the top spot when it comes to leading WRs in the league. To Butler’s comments, Kevin Durant had a memorable response which fans remember even today.

“He’s an idiot. Jimmy’s an idiot,” Durant had said. He then called Butler add asked him if he thinks he is better then Antonio Brown and Demaryius Thomas to which Butler replied yes. “I wouldn’t pick you on my fantasy team if you were in the league right now,” Durant then told him jokingly.

Of course all this was in good fun but claiming that you can be better than the current top WR while you play another sport is a statement that forces the likes of Durant to call you an “idiot.”
