Chad Ochocinco Johnson threw flames on the speculation with recent comments he made on a podcast, when the former NFL receiver said that Durant talked to him about joining the Miami Heat.
"What makes you think he'd want to go to Miami now?" Shannon Sharpe asked Johnson on the Nightcap podcast.
"Because I talked to him," Johnson replied. "I talked to KD and I know KD is going to see this and KD can attest to this. You can talk about it tomorrow on First Take. KD and I had a lengthy conversation. Listen, I'm not into basketball and people like KD and LeBron and some of these other players that I know, they confide in me. And I asked if it was OK to talk about tonight on Nightcap and it just so happens, boom, it comes up.
"And he said he would have no problem coming down to Miami, if it made sense."
