Browns' Garrett says he isn't beefing with Durant

Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett downplayed the notion of having a beef with Golden State Warriors star Kevin Durant following controversial remarks made Thursday.

Garrett said during an interview on 92.3 The Fan that he believes Durant took "the easy way out" by joining the Warriors as a free agent in 2016 when the team was coming off a record 73-9 season. Durant has won consecutive Finals MVP awards since joining the Warriors and plans to re-sign with the team this summer.

Durant received surprise support from Smash Mouth, a band best known for its 1999 hit "All Star" and an appearance on the "Shrek" soundtrack.

Hey Myles Garrett,.....nobody knows who the F you are so nobody gives a F what you would do. And Genius the @warriors didn't win the Championship the season before KD signed. So not sure what "coattails" you're referring to. This your Twitter page Aaaaahole? @MylesLGarrett

The 2017 first overall pick qualified his comments after they gained traction.

I don't have any beef with anybody , I'm still going to enjoy watching Shrek and listening to the soundtrack 3/4"aTMi everybody has an opinion

It appears Garrett shares the opinion of many basketball fans. Durant, meanwhile, is surely enjoying his summer as a massive new contract possibly lies ahead.
