The most insecure dude in the history of professional sports and it ain't even close. Could you imagine how much LBJ would get torn up if he was spending his free time arguing with trolls on social media?

GS making the finals without him while he got swept by the team they're going to play against must really be bothering him

I don't know why you guys get butthurt if KD wants to interact with fans on Twitter. Who cares?

He does this all the time. Not just when the Warriors made the Finals.

Why does everyone have to be so fake and have perfectly curated social media profiles that only their PR reps handle? And think theyre too good to ever talk hoops with the average person.

KD a good basketball player and good floor spacer.

I think a lot of people were softening somewhat to KD joining a stacked team. Should GS win it all this will add fuel to an old fire

Who is the craziest member of the Nets big-3? I don't think there has ever been a trio in NBA history this mentally unstable. At least they provide great entertainment.

KD is absolutely based. He is a social media god and you seethe because you know there's nothing you can do about it.

I’ve lost so much respect for KD over the years. He should be above all this.

Hard not to be pulling for KD cuz he only cares about bball and doesn't seem to be on any other trips, but man why are you as a great great player needing to intentionally misunderstand random comments to defend yourself? You joined one of the best teams of the modern era, that doesn't mean you suck but yeah it's a thing worth talking about. And Steph does get doubled when he crosses half court a lot, that doesn't mean you're not good. Guy wasn't even trying to knock you there.

I can’t wait for his meltdown if the warriors win and he inevitably gets completely trolled on Twitter. It’s all I’ve looked forward to since the playoffs started. Best entertainment in all sports.

Durant reveals how much 99% of all basketball players pay attention to sports media. They keep it hidden like he tried to do with his burner account.

I loathe KD going to the Warriors when he did, but people are acting like the Warriors win titles had KD not joined.
Could they have? Sure
But the Cavs and Rockets probably jump them if he's not there.

Honestly Durant’s thin skin and trolling people online is kind of endearing, probably what I’d be doing LOL

He's actually have a legit discussion with fans. I don't see why ya'll mad at him. Maybe some people on this forum need to go outside and touch grass.

I'm looking forward to an interview in October where KD tells us he doesn't care what people think about him.

KD makes Shaq look secure and self-assured. He can't stand that joining GS didn't do the same thing for his legacy that LeBron joining Miami did.

A social media god who regularly gets trolled by children online and creates burner accounts to defend himself :lol:
