Video: David Letterman trolled Kevin Durant during Nets media day
Kevin Durant knew he would have to answer questions from reporters at the Brooklyn Nets’ media day on Monday. What he may not have known, however, is that he would play a role in a David Letterman bit.
The Nets allowed Letterman to sit in on their press conferences. The former talk show host introduced himself as “Dave from Basketball Digest” and asked Durant several questions, one of which was why people call the two-time NBA Finals MVP “K.D.” Durant somehow kept a straight faced and explained.

Durant either had no clue who Letterman was or was simply not amused. We’re guessing it was the former, because K.D. eventually became impatient and told “Dave” he had asked enough questions.

Letterman has made some surprise appearances at sporting events since he retired, and some people still may not recognize him with his prominent beard. Durant could be one of those people. If he did know Letterman was the one asking him questions, it sure doesn’t seem like he’s a fan.
