Some fans sarcastically suggested to KD that he should use Steph Curry’s build to win games in NBA 2K.
Of course, a fan hinted that Durant probably used a Tatum build and it didn’t give him favorable results.
“Tatum build probably got you in hell,” said @JrueMusee
A few fans are taking it seriously and suggesting that KD use a T-Mac push to help him win games.
