The initial comment said that Durant left OKC for Golden State because he wasn’t capable of winning with a subpar squad.
Asked by ESPN about the like, the All-Star forward said it was inadvertent:
Kevin Durant tells me it was a “total accident” that he liked a comment on Instagram about Russell Westbrook. Was just an honest mistake.
