A couple days ago I posted a story about a bet between rapper The Game and Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant. The Game posted a video on his Instagram page saying he bet Durant that he could make an NBA range three-pointer. Upon making the shot he said Durant agreed to donate $20,000 to his youth basketball team the Frogg All Stars and would play on The Game’s Drew League team.
Well now Durant is telling TMZ Sports that it’s totally false. In the video above, Durant flat out calls The Game a liar.
After seeing the post, The Game took to his Instagram account again detailing the nature of the bet.
Now why @easymoneysniper frontin on the kids homie ?!?!?!? We clearly said….. “If I made the 3 from NBA range you’d supply the entire @froggallstars program with brand new Kevin Durant shoes”…… 120 kids, close to $200 a shoe equals about $20,000….. How am I lying ???? Just say you a sore loser & you ain’t wanna help the kids…. It ain’t that they need it cause I bought all 120 kids Lebrons out my own pocket as you can see on their Instagram.. But I thought it would be kool for them to meet you & be able to ball in your shoes especially since they look up to you & I made the shot as WE AGREED…@champagnepapi was right there, so was@jharden13 @trim_skit & @Demar_Derozan But don’t sweat it champ, we’ll still support you & I’ll go buy them myself just cause they mean that much to me….. 1 love – The Game #FroggAllstars#NikeBasketball #iGotTheKids#itsTooHardForSomePeopleToKeepIt100

The Game says he has several witnesses. Who knows if they’ll come forward but it looks bad on Durant’s part since the money was for the kids and not The Game’s pockets. Hopefully they’re able to work something out.
