Scoot Henderson is almost certainly somewhere just minding his business right now. He’s probably training or playing NBA 2k or something — whatever it is future NBA players are doing at this point.
But then, all of a sudden, his phone starts blowing up. Something definitely just happened. But that something isn’t serious at all — it’s actually kind of funny.
For absolutely no reason at all, Kevin Durant took a hilarious jab at Henderson while also throwing shots at Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal for their criticisms of his career.
For those of you who don’t know, Barkley and Shaq have been huge vocal critics of Durant’s leadership. Remember the whole bus driver analogy thing? Durant also commented on Barkley comparing him to both Kobe Bryant and LeBron James.
Anyway, Durant was asked about their criticisms by Yahoo! Sports’ Vince Goodwill after his debut with the Suns where he poured in a smooth 23 point, 6 rebound performance against the Hornets. And what he had to say was pretty funny.
“Most definitely. Because at this point, they’re saying, go play with Scoot Henderson and win a championship and then we’ll give you credit,” Durant told Yahoo Sports. “I don’t need no credit from y’all, no credit from [Barkley], no credit from Shaq. Y’all don’t ever have to watch me play ever again, don’t talk about me if you don’t [rock] with me. I’m not gonna stop doing what I do. Everybody has their opinions, man. It’s not gonna stop me and how I approach the game.”
Y’all. There was absolutely no reason for Scoot Henderson’s name to be brought up here. Yet, there it is. And it’s so funny, man.

Now, Durant probably didn’t mean anything by this. He was probably just watching Scoot Henderson highlights and he was the first player on his mind. Because, well, truth be told, you could probably get pretty far with a talent like Henderson on your team.
But, man, he definitely caught a wild stray here. He’s got to drop 30 on KD when he gets to the league now. Those are the rules.
