"Did u add to your legacy today? If so, what did u do?": Kevin Durant engages in a hilarious Q&A session with fans on Twitter

Being swept by the Boston Celtics in the first round of the 2022 playoffs, Kevin Durant has had an unusually long offseason.

Starting the 2021-2022 season 21-8, the Nets were playing like legit contenders for the #1 seed in the East behind the MVP-like performance by Kevin Durant. However, after averaging 29.3/7.4/5.8 in the first 36 games of the campaign, KD sustained a brutal MCL sprain in his left knee, resulting in Brooklyn stumbling down the standings.

After missing 27 games, The Durantula made his return to the line-up and was able to lead an ailing Nets team to the 7th seed to face the Boston Celtics in their first-round clash in the 2022 playoffs.

Jayson Tatum and co. were simply a better, well-rounded group than Steve Nash’s boys, and ended up sweeping them 4-0.
