Dwyane Wade is upset, and Miami Heat fans everywhere should thank Kevin Durant.

In an interview with CineSport’s Noah Coslov, Druant said something stupid. The SECOND best player on the planet was asked about the Sport’s Illustraded top 10 list and asked if anyone was missing from it.

"“I think you’re missing James Harden,” he said.The follow-up question, of course, asked who comes off of that list if you’re putting Harden onto it.“Dwyane Wade,” Durant said, almost before the question was finished.[Pro Basketball Talk]"

James Harden is ranked No. 11 on the list, Dwyane Wade is ranked No. 8.

Dwyane Wade, somehow, heard about Durant’s comments and posted the following message to his Instagram account.

Durant responded 12 minutes later, because who has anything else better to do in the NBA offseason.

This feels a little more than just playful jabs and I absolutely love it.

Though, we have to wait quite a while before the Heat and Oklahoma City Thunder actually meet up on the court to settle scores. Their first meeting doesn’t come until January 29 in Miami.
