NBA – Kevin Durant sounds off amidst trade rumors: «Someone please explain this to me»

Par Joël Pütz | Journaliste sportif

Kevin Durant isn’t one to hold his tongue, especially when it comes to heated debates with fans. The Slim Reaper recently went on a rant on social media, demanding explanations.

Some say his arrival at the Spurs is already assured, others say the Heat could still get ahead of San Antonio and snatch up his talents. The fact is, right now, we’re in a complete fog regarding Kevin Durant. The only thing that seems certain is that he’s not likely to stay with the Suns.

Two years after joining the Arizona franchise, the project is going nowhere, and its management even attempted to trade him last February. This is yet another failure after the 2014 MVP’s stint with the Nets, who has been unable to regain success since leaving the Warriors in 2019. Despite holding two championship rings and two Finals MVP titles, the forward’s legacy is regularly called into question.

Kevin Durant settles his scores and defends his career

To his detractors, and they are particularly numerous within the NBA microcosm, KD is nothing more than a loser who has never been able to win anything without being surrounded by superstars. However, the latter is not known for holding back his punches and, above all, for avoiding debate on social media. When challenged by a fan on X, the star responded curtly:

“I haven’t done much” is just an opinion not based on facts. Once again, your statement is talking about me as an individual, right? Because you can’t talk about my teams without talking about everybody else as well, so without them being involved in the convo. It comes down to just me. I’ve laid out what I’ve done. If u wanna talk about basketball as a team sport, those are two separate things.

All-Stars, 50/40/90, All-NBA. Efficient buckets, brother. I also got a career-high assist one year. Hit 30k points, won a couple of Olympic golds and MVPs…what a career, and I’m still going. I love my life.

Visibly annoyed, the Slim Reaper took the opportunity to settle his scores in public:

I’m minding my business, a guy sends a random tweet about how he doesn’t like my career. I respond, saying I disagree, but I’m the insecure one? Someone, please, explain this logic to me. In my mind, the guy who hit me unprovoked is insecure… correct me if I’m wrong.
