And thus, a meme was born. Some examples:
The meme has been used countless times since that evening, but Durant and Green had never really offered specifics about the viral moment — until now.
During the most recent episode of “The ETCs with Kevin Durant” podcast, Durant and co-host Eddie Gonzalez discussed several subjects with Green, including that famous meme. It turns out the conversation was … exactly what it looked like.
Mystery solved. Or, to put it in meme terms, “When you can finally tell your friend what KD and Draymond were talking about.”
Green: “I was definitely gassing him up like, ‘Yo, can’t nobody f— with you! Can’t nobody f—ing stop you!’ That’s what I was saying.”
Durant: “I was sitting there like, ‘Yeah, n—, I know.’ Yeah, I liked his gas, though. I ain’t had this from nobody.”
Green: “I’m like, ‘K, if you do this, they can’t f—ing stop you!’ He’s like, ‘Yup, you’re right. I know. I know.’ That’s really what it was.”
Durant: “That’s exactly what it was.”
