The Washington Commanders are going on to the NFC national championship, and they have actually obtained one effective NBA name in their edge– and their storage locker space. On Saturday, as the Commanders commemorated their 45-31 distress over the Detroit Lions, they had an unique visitor sign up with the celebration: Phoenix Suns celebrity Kevin Durant.
Durant, that was birthed and increased in D.C. and is a longtime Washington follower, sustained his preferred group via the distress. He likewise entered a couple of well-placed barbs towards Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs.
Commanders newbie cornerback Mike Sainristil– that had 2 vital interceptions in the match– published a video clip on his Instagram Story of Durant with the group postgame.
“Hey, what you gotta say though?” Sainristil asked Durant.
“Jahmyr, put your buffs on,” Durant claimed– a referral to the Cartier sunglasses. The tease motivated laughs and “oohs” from the Commanders’ locker space.
Earlier in the match, Gibbs, that is recognized for his goal parties, had actually racked up the very first goal of the video game and commemorated by simulating a dancing that Durant notoriously did pregame prior to the 2017 NBA Finals.
Durant did not take kindly to the homage.
“I’m already sick of Jahmyr Gibbs. Move around somewhere bro damn,” Durant wrote in action to the video clip on X.
Gibbs finished with 14 hurries for 105 lawns and 2 goals, however the group in general failed. Both groups installed a historical 2nd quarter in the high-scoring video game– and Washington triumphed ultimately.
After the video game, Durant left Detroit with another stab: a video clip of the initial dancing with the inscription: “Have a great night Detroit.”
The Commanders will certainly currently take place to the NFC national championship to play the champion of Sunday’s Los Angeles Rams-Philadelphia Eagles divisional-round video game. We’ll need to see if Durant makes an additional storage locker space look following weekend break.
