YouTuber FlightReacts has accepted Houston Rockets star Kevin Durant's challenge to NBA content creators, offering to organize and livestream a 5-on-5 game against the former MVP.
During a recent livestream, Flight responded after Durant criticized NBA content creators for constantly finding new topics to discuss rather than challenging professional players to games.
“We have Kevin Durant… calls out NBA content creators. All these NBA content creators do is think about new topics to talk about for content, I ain’t heard none of them. Let’s play 5v5 on film and do it for the channel,” Flight said. “KD, what’s up? Let’s do it.”
Flight said he would need only a couple of days' notice and offered Durant the opportunity to assemble his own team.
“Somebody send this sh*t to Kevin Durant. You give me a date, I’m in LA. Give me 2 days ahead of time, I’ll IRL stream it. You can bring your 5 for me, or I can bring my 5,” Flight said.

The YouTuber later doubled down on the proposal.
“They said nobody asked him to 5v5 on film. We can 5v5 on IRL livestream… What’s up? Send this to KD bro, I’m down.”
Durant has not publicly accepted Flight's challenge, but the response gives the Houston Rockets star exactly the type of matchup he said NBA creators rarely propose.
