Kevin Durant is no stranger to social media. The superstar scorer has built a reputation for being extremely active on X, formerly known as Twitter, over the course of his career. From burner account accusations to targeting the most random basketball fans, Durant isn't afraid to call out the haters.

The future Hall-of-Famer most recently went viral in a discussion about his former Golden State Warriors teammate, Stephen Curry. A fan on X called out Durant and LeBron James in regards to Curry, as he noted Durant only won championships with the two-time MVP, and James is 1-3 in the NBA Finals against him.

Let's not forget all the hating .@KDTrey5 and .@KingJames had for Steph. That BS about 6'2" players is so fraudulent.

One guy can't win a ring without Steph despite hopping from SuperTeam to SuperTeam and the other is 1-3 against Steph in the Finals, and don't get me started… pic.twitter.com/2iEuwmVCLG

Durant then responded, complimenting Curry while also defending himself and calling out the user. The two were teammates from 2016 to 2019, winning two championships in the process.
