Kevin Durant Destroys Cavs, Stares Down Rihanna. Hard.
The first game of the NBA Finals is in the books, and the feud is officially on.
Between Kevin Durant and LeBron James? Not really.
Not after the former lit up the Cavs for 38 points, eight rebounds and eight assists to lead his team to a 113-91 victory.
(James played fine, scoring 28 points on 9-20 shooting, but it will take a lot more from that from the future Hall of Famer for his squad to have a chance in this series.)
As for Durant and Rihanna, however? Oh boy. This rivalry is only just getting started.
A noted fan of the Cavs and James, Rihanna sat courtside for the opening game in Oakland on Thursday night, causing commentator Jeff Van Gundy to stop analyzing the action at one point and to start verbally drooling over the singer.
But Rihanna truly made an impact later on, first by screaming "BRIIIICK" and then by trash talking some Golden State fans, clearly dabbing in their direction.
Both these actions are caught on the video below.
And both also appeared to have been caught by Durant, who nailed a three-pointer in the fourth quarter and then turned out to stare Rihanna down.
Why might he have been especially annoyed at her cheering for LeBron?
Consider this Tweet sent by Durant in 2011:
The All-Star led his team to a dominant Game One win and only needs three more in order to take home his first NBA title.
But the Internet is talking more at the moment about Durant"s love life than his jumper, considering we"ve also learned he dated The Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay in college.
Who knew?!?
What does KD have to say about her or about Rihanna? Not much apparently…
Please. No one believes you, Kevin.
Just consider the following footage as evidence of your RIhanna disdain:

Cleveland Cavs Fans to Tristan Thompson: Dump Khloe Kardashian!
Well, it’s that time of year.
The NBA playoffs are upon us, and in Cleveland, fans are hoping that LeBron James can once again lead his beleaguered city to the promised land.
Of course, even King James can’t pull off such a feat on his own, and some Cavs obsessives are concerned that a key member of LeBron’s supporting staff is distracted by matters unrelated to basketball:
As you’ve probably heard, Cavs forward Tristan Thompson is dating Khloe Kardashian.
The relationship is moving at breakneck speed, and there have even been rumors that Khloe and Tristan are engaged.
It’s good news for Khloe and Tristan, but according to one Cleveland resident, it’s bad news for Cavs fans.
A man named John Hilberry has posted a petition to Change.org asking Thompson to kick Khloe to the curb.
Hilberry believes Khloe is responsible for the team’s uneven performance in recent months, and he says the only way to break the mush-publicized “Kardashian Curse” and rescue the Cavs’ playoff hopes is for Thompson to end his relationship.
“It is almost that time of year again-where we prepare for our long trek back to the NBA Finals,” Hilberry writes.
“However, this year as the defending champs, we’ve been in sort of a funk.”
The cause of that funk, according to Hilberry? You guessed it – the courtside presence of one of reality TV’s best known stars.
“It all has to do with the Kardashian Curse. One of our most beloved athletes, Tristan Thompson, has taken it upon himself to date Khloe Kardashian and by doing so, invited the curse into Cleveland. The curse has been ruthless to the Cleveland Cavaliers,” Holberry writes.
“The curse is nothing new however- it has plagued professional athletes such as James Harden, Lamar Odom, Kris Humphries, and now our beloved TT.”
Obviously, Hilberry is joking (we hope), but more than 200 people have already signed the petition in apparent support of his cause.
At the end of the day, however, there’s only one person whose opinion matters here.
We’re talking, of course, about LeBron.
Interestingly, James reportedly thinks the Kardashians could be an asset in the playoffs, as their presence might prove distracting to other teams.
He’s got a point.
After all, dating a Kardashian can be much more lucrative than playing in the NBA.
If Khloe’s sisters show up, opposing players might be so focused on audtioning as Kourtney’s next boyfriend that they take their head out of the game.
Call it the reverse Kardashian Curse.
