Kevin Durant Says Baker Mayfield Is 'F--kin Hoopin' After TD Drive for Bucs vs. 49ers

Kevin Durant was enjoying what he was seeing out of Baker Mayfield during Sunday's matchup between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and San Francisco 49ers.

"Aye Baker, you f--kin HOOPIN," the Houston Rockets superstar posted on social media.

It's unclear if Durant was impressed with a moment in particular, but Mayfield certainly provided a few options:

The fiery Mayfield has become one of the best watches in the NFL as his career resurgence continues in Tampa Bay. He threw for 4,044 yards and 28 touchdowns in 2023 and followed that up with a career year (4,500 yards, 41 touchdowns) last season, leading the Bucs to the playoffs in each campaign.

Through the first five games this season he threw for 1,283 yards, 10 touchdowns and just one interception, with the Bucs going 4-1. But while the results speak for themselves, Mayfield's passion and ability to turn seeming disasters into big plays have added major entertainment value to the mix.

Oh, and he's doing all of this without ever having his top wide receiver trio of Emeka Egbuka, Mike Evans and Chris Godwin healthy at the same time.

But Mayfield just keeps finding a way. It's always a good sign when players from other sports are showing you love. Week after week, highlight after highlight, Mayfield has everybody enjoying the show.
