Kevin Durant gets on Twitter to call podcasters ‘mediocre’ and himself legendary. 

Kevin Durant has been a subject of controversy ever since the aforementioned move to the Warriors. The ‘Pick a Side’ podcast delved into the topic of ‘Is Kevin Durant legendary?’ It soon resulted in a screaming match between two of the guys on it, with one of them claiming he is while the other says he isn’t. The latter would go on to call him garbage at the end of the clip. 

When the clip was quote tweeted by another user, KD took it upon himself to respond by saying, “Can’t ask mediocre people about legendary activities.” 

Durant has had some of the greatest Playoff scoring performances in recent memory. His 50 points against the Los Angeles Clippers in the first round in 2019 was a statement game while his 43 and 13 against the Cavaliers in the 2018 NBA Finals was most definitely one for the ages. 

The performance in question here is his 48 point performance in Game 7 against the Bucks in the 2021 Playoffs. He would send the game into OT but would not score in that extra 5 minute period. The Nets were carried by Durant that game and had no Kyire Irving with James Harden not being a factor either due to his hamstring injury.

That initial tweet wasn’t the end of his tirade on Twitter. A perfect example of Kevin Durant having all the time in the world to go back and forth with fans is his string of tweets following his ‘legendary activities’ one.

This most certainly isn’t the first time this has happened and it won’t be the last. It’s safe to say that his 24,800+ tweets mainly come from justified confrontations with fans.
