Kevin Durant Girlfriend 2014: Is MVP Dating Rihanna? Gets Flirty During NBA Game [Rumors]
A lot of fans were talking about Game 6 of the Thunder-Clippers series. However, aside from the game itself, people noticed that there seemed to be something going on between MVP Kevin Durant and singer Rihanna, who sat courtside, as reported by News OK.
Rihanna has been dating rapper Drake on and off, so people were wondering whether Rihanna was just friends with Durant or flirting with him during the game. The pink-haired Barbados native caused a stir at the Staples Center when she watched the game without wearing a bra and cheered for Durant, writes Marca.com.
In 2012, Durant said that all he wanted for his 24th birthday was a birthday wish from Rihanna, whom he did not personally know at the time. The singer gladly obliged and tweeted the Thunder forward. Eversince, the two have become closer.
However, it's worth noting that the recent connection of the two stemmed from Roc Nation Sports in which rapper and business mogul Jay Z represents the NBA MVP. Rihanna also belongs to the Roc Nation Label, so it makes sense how the two stars got together, aside from the fact that Durant is already friends with Rihanna's on-and-off boyfriend Drake. Durant previously expressed that he would sign Drake and Rihanna if he would be in the music industry.
During the game, Durant scored 39 points, 16 rebounds and five assists. The OKC beat the Los Angeles Clippers to move on to the Western Conference Finals. The 26-year-old Rihanna stole the show every now and then with her animated display as she encouraged the Thunder to win with a final score of 104-98. She greeted Durant afterwards on Twitter, "Congrats to my R.O.C. brother @KDTrey5 !!! Great game tonight OKC"
Although Westbrook was not his usual self that night and Serge Ibaka was out due to a calf injury, Durant may be able to carry the team against the San Antonio Spurs in the current Western Finals with the help of a screaming pink-haired bra-less beauty at courtside.
