Suns' Kevin Durant Calls Out 'Dummies' Who Think 'They Have High IQ' About the NBA

Timothy RappOct 14, 2024

Kevin Durant woke up and had something to get off his chest on Monday.

The Phoenix Suns superstar posted on social media that he is often amused by the comments section of NBA Centel, a parody basketball social media account that posts fake news and jokes:

Durant, as the kids might say, is very online, and his history on social media is well-chronicled. He has never been afraid to be combative on social media platforms, going toe-to-toe with his critics and trolls alike.

"The whole point of having social media is to interact with people," he told Jalen Rose and Anthony Edwards (22:20 mark) back in August. "So you follow me for a chance to maybe interact, so it depends on how I feel. If you troll, I'm going to troll back. If you show love, I'm going to show love back. I try to reciprocate energy as much as possible to give people more of an in-depth experience of who I am."

And when Durant has logged on, he's ready to bring the heat:

He has not been shy in the past about decrying the negative aspects of online fan culture, either.

"Let's talk about the fan culture that's been created recently. A lot of huge egos who believe they are the reason for the advancement of a sport," he posted in August. "A LOT of idol worship, a lot of hate and division based off wins and losses, a lot of disrespect of the work being put in by these incredible athletes, mostly by people who don't know what it takes to be good at anything besides talking... go do something and get out the way..."

Durant has the pedigree to back up his posting habits, given that he's a two-time champion, one-time MVP, four-time scoring champ and four-time Olympic gold medalist. Tangle with him on social media at your own peril.
