James Harden and Kevin Durant are no longer teammates on the Brooklyn Nets after Thursday’s massive trade with the Philadelphia 76ers, and KD is already getting petty.
After the NBA’s wild trade deadline on Thursday, it was time for Durant and LeBron James to pick their All-Star teams for the upcoming event! And hilariously enough, Durant passed over Harden for a spot on his All-Star team in favor of adding Rudy Gobert instead.
Even funnier, however, was James’ hilarious reaction to Durant’s explanation — who said that Gobert’s size and interior work on defense was the reason the Utah Jazz center was picked. James, clearly not believing Durant’s reasoning and the broadcaster’s ribbing, could not hold it together.

Eventually Durant too cracked a smile and the jokes flying his way. Gotta love the NBA trade deadline!
