Durant at James muling maghaharap sa NBA All-Star

HOUSTON -- Gusto ni Kevin Durant na ipahayag kung ano ang kanilang relasyon ni LeBron James.

“‘I hate him,” pagbibiro ni Durant.

“We’re actually really good friends,” pagpapatuloy ng Oklahoma City Thunder superstar. “I think people want us to hate each other so bad just because we’re battling against each other.”

Hindi naman ibig sabihin na magiging mabait siya kay James ng Miami Heat.

“I like the friendly competition, but when we’re on the court we’re the furthest thing away from being friends,” ani Durant. “We don’t take it easy on each other.”

Tinalo ni James at ng Heat si Durant at ang Thunder sa nakaraang NBA Finals.

Si James ang bumandera sa scoring para sa Mia­mi, habang si Durant ang nanguna sa Thunder.

Muling nagkita sina James at Durant para sa Team U.S. na nagdomina sa Olympics sa London.

“He’s going to go down as one of the best of all time,” sabi ni Durant kay James. “I don’t think anyone will be like LeBron James. I’m glad I get a chance to compete against him year in and year out, and I’m also glad I was on his team to win the gold medal.”
