Many moons ago (as in yesterday), Kevin Durant and The Game had an apparent online tiff where The Game accused Kevin Durant of squelching on a bet of $20,000.
Now, it seems that the two have cleared the air and come to an agreement that when push comes to shove, blame TMZ for the mess.
The Game published another hashtag-laden essay on the matter of how he and KD were able to square away the bet and how TMZ was the real enemy all along:
Had a conversation with @easymoneysniper this morning & we both agreed that there was a miscommunication between the middle party which was “TMZ” & that the way the camera man presented it to him was as if he bet me $20,000 cash which wasn’t the case…. We agreed that if I hit the 3 point shot he would get KD gear & his kicks for all the kids in our @froggallstars organization which is close to 130 children…. 130 kids at a price of maybe $150 a shoe & gear after tax equals close to $20,000 give or take so that’s where that # came from. When I woke up & had multiple texts & calls saying KD called me a liar on TMZ, I acted immediately in clearing things up on my end on my page & didn’t have a # on @easymoneysniper to clear it up privately which is what I should’ve done because the situation that was meant to be friendly & charitable to the kids & is now blown out of proportion…. But again, after talking to KD this am he again agreed to get all the kids his kicks & KD gear & also stated he was taken back by the $20,000 cash because that wasn’t what was agreed on by us….. It was a friendly bet that was only purely beneficial to the kids in our program & I’m glad we straightened it out in the end & I personally told @easymoneysniper my bad for jumping the gun due to what I read on TMZ this am. It was truly a miscommunication.. I could’ve chose my words a bit wiser & made it a little more clear…. So on behalf of all the kids, myself & the @froggallstars organization, we want to thank him again for looking out for our kids & our fast growing program, it’s very much appreciated – The Game #froggallstars #therobinhoodproject #nikebasketball #weready #aau #KD #MvP #ThankYou
In other words, Kevin Durant bet shoes and clothes for the The Game’s charity and The Game tallied that up to be $20,000 (after taxes, as The Game notes) worth of equipment.
So, the official story is that while both were obviously in it for the kids, that horrible monster known as TMZ came between them and tried to tear them apart.
With the two sides calling a truce in the War of #froggallstars, Kevin Durant can go back to just having to worry about the Based God curse that was put on him.
