Kevin Durant was involved in a heated exchange with two drunken Dallas Mavericks fans on Thursday night after they yelled ‘b****’ as he ran onto the court.

Durant, a two-time NBA champion and former MVP, was in Texas with his Phoenix Suns team as the basketball season resumed following the All-Star break.

With the arena largely empty as the players came out to warm up, two fans who were sat a few rows from courtside screamed out at Durant.

Video of the incident clearly shows them shouting ‘b****’ at the former Golden State Warriors star as he ran onto the court.

Durant immediately turned around to confront the man and woman, who were both holding beers, and said ‘what?’.

He then walked over to them before the female fan, with a huge smile on her face, put her hand out for Durant to shake as though nothing had happened.

While it’s impossible to hear what Durant says to the couple, he refused to acknowledge her hand and was rightly angered by their comments.

The man, also smiling, quickly realized Durant was annoyed and tried to apologize to diffuse the situation.

Clearly not expecting Durant to respond to their taunts, the embarrᴀssed couple tried to downplay their jeers and began to tell him a story about a ᴅᴇᴀᴅ relative and the man’s sports podcast.

Durant, clearly not impressed, ended the conversation and walked back towards his teammates who were warming up.

Security appeared to want to kick the pair out of the American Airlines Center but Durant returned and told them to let them stay.

It proved to be a miserable night all around for Durant as the Mavericks claims a 123-113 win on Thursday night.

Luka Doncic scored 41 points and Kyrie Irving added 29 as Dallas extended their winning streak to seven games.

Dallas pulled even with Phoenix in the standings at 33-23 and took the head-to-head tiebreaker with a 2-1 record in a pairing of teams battling for a guaranteed spot in the playoffs.

Doncic had 11 ᴀssists and nine rebounds matched against fellow All-Stars Devin Booker, who scored 35 points, and Durant, who had 23 on an ordinary shooting night for the 14-time All-Star. The Suns had won five of six before the break.

Dallas extended its longest winning streak of the season in the first visit from new majority owner Miriam Adelson. 

The widow of casino mogul Sheldon Adelson was sitting courtside. Her company, Las Vegas Sands Corp., finalized the deal with Mark Cuban in December.
