Dennis Schroder calls Kevin Durant “weak” for his celebratory Gold Medal tweet

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

  2. KD disagreed with Schroder’s comments and made a slight jab.

    I don’t understand Schroder’s rationale behind that making KD seem weak.

  3. shanmustafa

    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

  4. myassholealt

    >I don’t care at the end of the day

    Every other word in that paragraph strongly suggests the opposite.

  5. dhfevfhhdgf

    Maybe he needs to win a gold medal then he can talk

  6. RogerPenroseSmiles

    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.

  7. mustyballsac

    All Kevin needs to say back is “4yr/84m”

  8. ChannelNeo

    KD argues with randos on twitter in his free time. This tracks. Especially with such an emotional Gold Medal game.

  9. FultzShoulder

    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.

  10. Dj3garrett

    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. 

  11. Silly_Stable_

    I don’t understand even a little bit how KD’s tweet was an attack on Schroeder.

  12. “a person like me”? I know you’re not KD but damn, have some pride and act like you’re an NBA player.

  13. NoobGaijin

    How dare people respond to what I said. Weaklings

  14. VenusIsRosy

    Pretending you don’t care when you actually do is so cringe.

  15. avelez1812

    Low IQ aint this the guy that fumbled the bag by turning down the Lakers extension

  16. TheConboy22

    I don’t care but read my paragraph about how I care.

  17. footdragon

    are Schroder and Pat Beverly twin brothers? seem like it.

  18. Savagevandal85

    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

  19. Bro dishes out major shade but can’t take a slight jab.

  20. uchihastar

    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

  21. jrgraffix

    I love Dennis but he’s wrong here, you gotta stand by your comments and take it on the chin man

  22. Reputation_Double

    Was he expecting team USA to not respond?

  23. Lucieddreams

    Dennis seems to get offended by very tame and non offensive things I’ve noticed

  24. Countryb0i2m

    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.

  25. 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

  26. ApartmentInside7891

    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.

  27. KD responded to a random dude in X. Does he expect KD to let anything go?

  28. KD tweeted 4 words and this dude went on a monologue about it lmao

  29. Danger_Recks

    Dennis “ I fumbled 90 million” Schroder

  30. GyantSpyder

    “As a German, I found the American undignified and confusing. I’m insulted, but I’m not sure exactly why.”

    Yup, checks out.

  31. 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.

  32. IrvingtonThrowaway03

    KD being petty is what makes him mentally strong. He doesn’t take shit from bums

  33. SirJoeffer

    Man who cares so much desperately tries to appear as if he doesn’t

  34. wavylazygravydavey

    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

  35. senorcupcake

    “Bench players talking like the stars. I hate it.” – KD

  36. SnooStrawberries7894

    “Not everyone is strong” yes we know. 🤭

  37. 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.

  38. Intelligent_Block_95

    KD disagrees with Dennis’ hair plugs

  39. Known_Pension_5779

    Need KD to tweet “I’m strong and in a good place”
