NBA Reddit was shocked when it was brought to this community’s attention that KD has over 24000 tweets. This would have been shocking even as a single piece of information. What took it over the top is that despite being a 4-time scoring champion, KD has fewer points than tweets.
Kevin Durant has been at the center of controversies and public discourse for 5 years now. It’s tough to talk about the NBA without talking about the looming threat his Nets pose to LeBron’s Lakers. Or how his Warriors ‘ruined the league’ for 3 seasons.
Shannon Sharpe and Michael Rapaport have both been on the receiving end of some characteristic taunts by KD. One could even say that both of these talking heads deserved it, given how they take unwarranted shots at him.
