Nets rookie Cam Thomas publicly challenged kevin durant on social media. Why did he do it?

This happened after the Nets1117-112 won the Cavaliers on October 23rd. Thomas scored 1 1 in this game. As a rookie, he was quite good and was invited to attend the conference. At the first press conference, he may be a little excited and say that he is better than Durant. He also said on social media that Durant lied, which is a joke. Thomas is still too young and too serious.

After winning the Cavaliers' game, Thomas was invited to participate in the press conference for the first time, which seemed a little carried away and his words were slightly inflated. He claimed that he beat Durant in the training match and that he was better than Durant in the same period. That's what he said: KD and I are talking nonsense. As for my scoring ability, at my age (20 years old), I am a better scorer than him. He didn't believe me, and then he never wanted to be one-on-one with me again. We hit him one-on-one in shooting practice, with a low waist! Don't tell him I hit him. ?

Later, Durant came to the press conference, and a reporter asked Durant to verify what Thomas said. Durant also responded that Thomas lied. In the training match, he beat Thomas with 15-5, and said that Thomas also played a key role in the team's victory today, and he could get the points he deserved in the open space. We also need such players. Throughout the process, Durant should not take what Thomas said too seriously, but has been encouraging him. Thomas posted on social media the next day, Durant, don't lie in front of people and say that you 15-5 beat me.

Judging from the whole thing, the reason why Thomas dared to publicly provoke the star of his team on social media can only be said that this young man is a little pushy and a little overconfident. Even if Durant loses to you in the training match, it will only be a training match. Maybe Durant didn't take it seriously, and there's no need to cling to it. If it continues to brew, Durant's sensitive psychology is likely to turn into a locker room storm, which is not conducive to the unity of the team.

This also reflects that Durant's prestige in the team is actually not high. A rookie dares to openly provoke. If it's Kobe, James, I'm afraid no one dares to do this. Besides being a super scorer, Durant should also think about how to be a qualified leader.
