Summary of what he said:
"They won and Kevin Durant tweets 'High IQ and Entertainment'. For me that's just being weak. Like, you're that type of star and you have to say something to a person like me, that wasn't even saying something negative. It was just what i've seen from both sides. So I didn't appreciate it. I don't care at the end of the day but that tweet he posted was because of me. I never meant anything negative, I respect all of those guys, but to say that tells me how weak he is as a person. It is what it is, not everybody is strong, not everybody is in a good place."
Kind of strange he seems actually offended by a pretty light jab from KD. It was wasn't even insulting really, just pointing out that Team USA are really good at everything.

Muthafucker is trying to throw stones and hide his hands.
I don’t blame KD one bit for being mad about those comments
KD disagreed with Schroder’s comments and made a slight jab.
I don’t understand Schroder’s rationale behind that making KD seem weak.
KD is such an interesting person because literally none of this shit impacts him at all
people call him all sorts of things and all he did was drop 35 a night in the finals, none of it every got to him
>I don’t care at the end of the day
Every other word in that paragraph strongly suggests the opposite.
Maybe he needs to win a gold medal then he can talk
Dennis is coming off as a whiny little bitch. When you win, you get to talk your shit.
Dennis buddy, you need to win more than a FIBA World Cup to even talk to KD.
All Kevin needs to say back is “4yr/84m”
Yeah yeah yeah bag my schnitzel up buddy
KD argues with randos on twitter in his free time. This tracks. Especially with such an emotional Gold Medal game.
I haven’t masturbated today 🤔
So if I understand this right, Schroder is saying he doesn’t care about KD’s tweet but is also saying that he doesn’t appreciate it and calls it weak. Tell me you care without telling me you care lol.
Shroeders comments kind of insinuated American basketball lacks IQ. Let players like Bron, KD, and Curry play with each other longer than 3 weeks and tell me about IQ. Yea, the world is much better compared to 92’, but team USA never has any team chemistry to be able to display that IQ.
I don’t understand even a little bit how KD’s tweet was an attack on Schroeder.
“a person like me”? I know you’re not KD but damn, have some pride and act like you’re an NBA player.
Dennis can’t take the bantz
Dork
Fight fight fight
How dare people respond to what I said. Weaklings
Pretending you don’t care when you actually do is so cringe.
Sounds like he does care though lol.
Low IQ aint this the guy that fumbled the bag by turning down the Lakers extension
I don’t care but read my paragraph about how I care.
are Schroder and Pat Beverly twin brothers? seem like it.
So the us can’t be proud to win ? We got jokic celebrating his bronze but the us who always is about to get overtaken by Europe supposedly can’t trash talk or enjoy their win ? Let’s be real if they had shit the bed then Dennis and everybody else would be clowning them
that’s tuff 🔥💯
Bro dishes out major shade but can’t take a slight jab.
Kd can’t say shit without people saying he’s weak or soft, even tho none of the shit he says is even that serious lol.
The people that disagree with him just to then call him soft seems softer to me
I love Dennis but he’s wrong here, you gotta stand by your comments and take it on the chin man
Was he expecting team USA to not respond?
Dennis seems to get offended by very tame and non offensive things I’ve noticed
Don’t think we don’t see the slight racism coming from
Schroder about Euroball being about all IQ, as if the mostly African American nba squad doesn’t have some of the highest ball IQ players in the world.
This based in the idea that the only way black Americans can win is because they are superiority gifted and everyone had to work hard for what they have.
So Dennis can insult all he likes and be seen as cool? But Kevin can reply and Dennis is allowed to cower in the corner and cry about how unfair it is? Hilarious
Take it back chef there’s too much salt
Schroder coming off like a bitch here
I mean whatever. In 50 years I’m gonna remember Kevin Durant as one of the best Hoopers of this generation. I probably won’t remember Dennis Schröder. At least not for the right reasons.
He care.
KD responded to a random dude in X. Does he expect KD to let anything go?
KD tweeted 4 words and this dude went on a monologue about it lmao
Dennis “ I fumbled 90 million” Schroder
“As a German, I found the American undignified and confusing. I’m insulted, but I’m not sure exactly why.”
Yup, checks out.
The thing about KD Twitter beefs is 99% of the time it’s someone talking mess, and then he responds, and the other person goes “wow that’s so weak you’re such a big star why are you so insecure”
None of it would happen if bro ain’t say nothing first. I’m rooting for Dennis in terms of any NBA career, especially after the bag fumble. But you can’t tall smack and then cry when someone throws if back.
KD being petty is what makes him mentally strong. He doesn’t take shit from bums
Man who cares so much desperately tries to appear as if he doesn’t
When the general consensus on r/nba is “yeah I agree with KD on this one” it’s hard not to think Schröder is acting a fool
“Bench players talking like the stars. I hate it.” – KD
“Not everyone is strong” yes we know. 🤭
The full clip is even funnier. Schroder just dissed himself in the end.
Dude can dish it but can’t take it, and he has the ADUACITY to call someone else “weak”. How ironic
KD didn’t even say anything. It was just a light clap back for the dumb comments Schroder had made earlier. KD and the Avengers TEAM USA just showed everyone what ENTERTAINING and HIGH IQ basketball looks like, something Schroder clearly never experienced.
Live by the tweet die by the tweet
KD disagrees with Dennis’ hair plugs
Need KD to tweet “I’m strong and in a good place”
