Patrick Beverley Lists Kevin Durant as One of NBA's Top Trash Talkers
Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant is known for many things.
Durant - drafted to the Seattle SuperSonics in 2007 - has carved out a career for the ages in the NBA. Finals champion, MVP for both the regular season plus NBA Finals and numerous of other accolades that has already stamped his ticket to the Basketball Hall of Fame.
Durant is still etching his name in NBA history books as one of the most prolific scorers to ever hit the hardwood, though he's also known for his trask-talking abilities.
At least that's according to Patrick Beverley, who would know a thing or two about that aspect of the game. Beverley thrives off being a nuisance and getting under his opponent's skin throughout the 48 minutes of a game.
Beverley recently did a "Actually Me" segment for GQ Sports where he answers a handful of questions from fans across the internet.
In the first minute of the video, he was asked who the biggest trash talkers in the NBA are:
"Draymond [Green] for sure. KD [Kevin Durant] for sure. Low-key, Luka Doncic. Low-key as hell. "I'm definitely somewhere up there. Russ [Russell Westbrook]? Yeah, Russ up there. Cool little five."

The two sides certainly have some experience together:
Durant is entering his 17th professional season and shouldn't show any signs of slowing down soon. With Devin Booker and Bradley Beal by his side in the starting lineup, there's lofty expectations in the Valley to bring home a franchise-first NBA title.
Time will tell if that truly happens, though Durant will clearly be chatting to opponents along the journey.
