Kevin Durant Calls Out Jay Williams For Phony Story: 'this is a f***in lie'

Kevin Durant publicly chastised ESPN analyst Jay Williams for telling a factious story on his show, "Keyshawn, JWill & Zubin." Williams alleged that Durant approached him at a holiday party and acrimoniously told him "don't ever compare me to Giannis again, don't ever compare that dude to me."

The Instagram page, "Sidelinesources," reposted the clip of Williams recounting the events, and Durant responded in the comments. The two-time Finals MVP stated that "Jay Williams can NEVER speak for me, ever," hinting at the fact that the story is fraudulent.

Williams believes that Durant's remarks at the holiday party are in response to him deeming Antetokounmpo stylistically analogous to the future Hall of Famer. The former second-overall pick is also on the record saying Durant will enter the GOAT conversation if he wins the title this year.
