Kevin Durant on how defense has changed recently: “Grab hold push. The defense today. Crash dummy hoops but it’s entertaining”

During the 2nd round of the playoffs last year, KD was asked this on social media:

Q: “How much has defense changed in the past 5 years? I know now they let defenders play more physically. Also, there’s some different coverages. But how has it changed in your eyes.”

KD: “Grab hold push. The defense today. Crash dummy hoops but it’s entertaining”

Felt this was relevant and he’s really the only current player to voice some “annoyance” at the more physical defense we weren’t seeing get called for fouls down the stretch last year.
