Video: Kevin Durant gave Peyton Manning the stare down at the ESPYs
Apparently teasing Kevin Durant about leaving the Oklahoma City Thunder will never get old.
During Peyton Manning’s monologue at Wednesday night’s 2017 ESPY Awards, Manning joked about Durant’s departure from the Thunder last year to create a super team with the Golden State Warriors.
Even though Durant won a ring this year with his new team, he wasn’t amused by Manning’s joke.

“I love that the Final Five won the most Olympic medals as any U.S. gymnastics team ever,” Manning said. “And our gymnastics team was so dominant that Kevin Durant told me he wants to play for them next year.”
Manning even brought Durant’s former teammate Russell Westbrook into the conversation, making the joke even more cringeworthy.
Toward the end of the show, Durant tweeted out an expressionless face emoji.

Peyton planned his teammates' "keepaway" celebration for TD 509. Willing to bet Durant's ESPYs reaction was planned, too. Funny as hell tho. pic.twitter.com/hfNCwGlPit
