Late on Sunday night, Kevin Durant caught himself in a complete shitshow with social media. He likes to use Twitter as much as any athlete right now, but Durant can show himself to be a little thin-skinned at times. Durant or his team outed themselves on Sunday with two tweets by Durant himself defending KD like a fan would do. It was very bizarre, and NBA Twitter spent their Monday finding burner accounts on both Twitter and Instagram. This is a social media disaster.

KD has secret accounts that he uses to defend himself and forgot to switch to them when he was replying to this guy I'm actually speechless pic.twitter.com/9245gnpa3c

Do I think Durant is the only one who does this? Absolutely not. I think there are athletes all over the place who probably have an account or two to defend them from the haters because the athletes are insecure as can be. But the problem with Durant is he proved everyone right that he is thin-skinned. Even with all of his witty retorts on social media, Durant spend the summer coming up with new Nike shoes with all of the things ‘haters’ said about him plus make random Twitter and Instagram accounts. How does Durant recover from this? Announce that he’s taking an Aaron Rodgers-like break from social media.

Durant should make a statement that he will be leaving social media for the season as he spends too much time on Twitter and Instagram which is affecting his game. This will not be praised and may get ridiculed yet the noise around Durant should go away.

Charlie.
