Having Proclaimed Self As GOD During Charles Barkley Beef, Kevin Durant Reiterates Belief on Twitter: “They Did the Same Thing With the Bible!”

Kevin Durant is one of those stars, who does not seem to hold back when criticized blatantly. Be it on TV shows or on social media, KD always has a reply to silence his critics. This is much reminiscent of his feud with Charles Barkley, where KD ended up claiming himself to be a ‘God’ in the form of a ‘bus driver.’ Seems like, KD still considers himself as the almighty, given his latest interactions with fans on Twitter.

Back during the 2022 NBA Playoffs, TNT analyst, Charles Barkley brought out one of his infamous critical remarks, targeting Kevin Durant. Criticizing the Slim Reaper’s performance, Barkley claimed KD was more of a ‘bus rider’ than a ‘bus driver.’ Furthermore, Chuck also claimed that KD pretty much piggybacked his way to two championships behind Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green with the Golden State Warriors. However, the two-time Finals MVP reiterated to Barkley, claiming himself to be a ‘God.’

Kevin Durant reiterates his claim as the ‘God’ in his latest interaction with fans

One of KD’s statements implying the importance of offense in play has gone viral on social media. In that statement, Durant responded to a fan saying how offensive wins teams championships. However, fans have started bringing in different interpretations, downplaying KD’s importance for playing defense.

In response to KD’s statement, Ryan Davis tried his best to criticize and roast the Slim Reaper. The response by Davis was posted by King Elinho on Twitter. The critics and rival fans were having a ball with Davis’ statements, claiming that he destroyed Durant with ‘straight facts.’

 

But as the Slim Reaper remains quite active and updated on social media, he was quick to notice the ongoing drama around him and decided to respond. Reminding everyone of his ‘God-Like’ status, Kevin Durant replied:

“Clearly but you know when I speak, people wanna break it down into their own interpretations. They did the same thing with the Bible haaa.” 

Often people seem to undermine the various achievements of KD, which remark on his status as an accomplished player. Therefore, the two-time Finals MVP always has to remind them by various means, and claiming himself as the god might be one of them.

Kevin Durant’s two championships with the Warriors have once again become a topic of debate

Once again, KD’s two championships with the Golden State Warriors are being questioned by the fans. Many people believe that Durant just rode along with Steph Curry and Klay Thompson to win the championship. However, what the critics fail to acknowledge is how KD pulled MVP-level performances to help win the Warriors’ two championships.

Durant failed to win a championship after leaving the Warriors, which might be the reason his ability to win a ring is always under question. He has his own way of replying to these questions, but sometimes it gets interpreted.

Recently, Social media has been rampant with fake quotes of Kevin Durant circulating throughout. One of the quotes being circulated currently is about KD claiming himself to be the best scorer despite facing injuries. Replying to this, KD shut all such rumors circulating, calling out fans for falling to such claims.
