The Phoenix Suns’ struggles continued on Wednesday night as they fell to the San Antonio Spurs, 109-120. It marked their fourth consecutive loss. Despite Kevin Durant’s determined performance, the Suns couldn’t overcome the Spurs’ balanced attack.

Nevertheless, it wasn’t just the scoreboard that grabbed attention. Rather, it was Durant’s intense, trash-talking exchange with Spurs veteran Chris Paul that stole the spotlight.

The fiery exchange began during a dead ball when Paul initiated the verbal battle. In leaked audio from the game, Paul was heard saying, “I know you,” which Durant quickly shot down with, “You don’t know sh*t about me.”

The back-and-forth didn’t end there. Paul fired back, “I know you, n****,” to which Durant was clearly fired up. He responded by confronting Paul directly.

“What you know about me? You’re acting like a pu**y. You don’t know me,” Durant said.

Before becoming an NBA icon with the Golden State Warriors, Stephen Curry made a name for himself at Davidson College. His legendary run with the Wildcats, including an Elite Eight appearance in 2008, cemented his status as one of college basketball’s most electrifying players. Now, over a decade later, Curry is returning to his alma mater, but this time in an entirely new role. On Monday, Curry agreed to take on the position of assistant general manager for basketball at Davidson. While Curry’s new position is being celebrated, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr already has some lighthearted concerns. When asked about his superstar’s latest venture, Kerr made it clear that he considers the title more “ceremonial” than anything else. Kerr also jokingly admitted if Curry does ask for time off to recruit a future Wildcat, it might be hard to say no. I “If he asks to leave for a game to go scout college, I’ll probably say no. But it is Steph Curry, so I’ll probably say yes. I just hope he doesn’t ask,” Kerr said. Reportedly, Curry’s new role will involve guiding both the men’s and women’s basketball programs. Curry has now become the first active major professional athlete in the U.S. to hold an administrative role with an NCAA team.

He also shared his desire to help future student-athletes enjoy the same experience he had. “The Davidson experience is top-notch. My journey from when I got to Davidson in 2006 to now demonstrated that I had the opportunity to play basketball at the highest level, got a great education, an amazing network through the Davidson alumni, and continue to wave the Davidson flag. I want very talented, high-character student-athletes to have that same experience,” Curry said. With five straight wins, the Warriors are surging lately in the Western Conference.

Code Reds – Breaking Down All Things Cincinnati Baseball with Mike Petraglia

Code Reds Rece Hinds, Elly De La Cruz Give Reds Desperately Needed Lift

CINCINNATI — It’s been a typically up-and-down week for the 2024 Cincinnati Reds as they try to make a push before the All-Star break to get above .500 and generate momentum for a second-half playoff push. Rece Hinds has come out of nowhere to provide a spark and Elly De La Cruz and Hunter Greene are both headed to the All-Star Game in Texas for the first time. Mark Sheldon of MLB.com joins Trags to break it down on the latest edition of the Code Reds podcast.

“Do something about it then,” Durant said.

Despite this, Paul was seemingly unfazed. The Spurs veteran threw out one last retort, saying, “I ain’t worried about this n****.”

Durant was spotted trying to follow Paul after, but his teammates soon dragged him to the sideline. Durant ended the game, scoring 22 points, five rebounds, and two assists. Paul scored 13 points, five rebounds, and 10 assists in the Spurs win.

Kevin Durant Addresses His Trash Talking With Chris Paul

Though the situation didn’t escalate beyond words, the heated moment became the talking point of the night. After the game, Kevin Durant addressed the incident during the post-game press conference. The Suns star downplayed any lingering animosity as in his eyes Paul was just trying to irritate him.

“I was heating up a little bit right around that time too. I think he was just trying to get in my head, get me to react, and get me out the game. But as we kept talking, I know it was just a game,” Durant said.

With the loss, the Suns’ season record stands at 26-29. Meanwhile, despite Victor Wembanyama’s absence, the Spurs won the game and improved to 24-29 in the season.
