Kevin Durant's live reaction to being traded was caught in bizzare moment

It's not every day that a player like Kevin Durant is traded in the NBA.

Well, that time has come, as KD is headed to the Rockets.

In what was already a rare situation, fans were able to break the news to KD himself and record his reaction in this bizarre situation.

How did the fans capture KD's reaction to the trade?

This weekend is the second annual Fanatics Fest.

Durant was one of the big NBA names at the event and doing a Q&A with Taylor Rooks in front of fans.

All of a sudden, during the interview, this happened:

It's pretty wild to see that the fans knew about the trade before KD, and were able to be the ones to break it to him.

Durant likely had some intel about one likely happening soon, but the fans were the ones to confirm it before anyone else could.

Durant is a very down-to-earth guy, but you could see his unique reaction to processing the trade when he found out it was official.

This all came less than eight hours before tip-off of the first NBA Finals Game 7 since 2016.
