Kevin Durant seems to have gotten enraged by the sudden lashing out of a fan. Recently, Durant was featured in an advertisement promoting the sports betting platform FanDuel. While he posed for the cover of FanDuel, an online fan could not help but notice the irony in it. The fan quickly took to social media and pointed out how KD was contradicting himself.
As a matter of fact, Durant has actively advocated for his fans to stop gambling. Now, when he himself was promoting a betting app, the fan lashed out at the NBA star. Now, this was something that did not sit well with Durant. The Suns’ icon immediately took to his X account and penned down a strong message for his critic.
“No, I tell you to stop complaining about this life that you have committed to. When you lose, there’s finger pointing. When you win, there’s gloating about how smart you are about seeing the future. No gratitude to the service workers like myself. I’m sick of it,” Durant wrote on X.
What Durant stressed is the fact that the fans must always be responsible when they are placing a bet. He also expressed his frustration at how the players get blamed for the failed bets and not get the credit when the win is significant. This was not the only instance in which Kevin Durant was unfiltered in his public opinion. Recently, he called Stephen A. Smith a ‘clown.’

“Yeah, Stephen A., I don’t understand how people even listen to Stephen A. I’ve been in the league for 18 years. I’ve never seen Stephen A. at a practice, a film session, or a shootaround, I’ve never seen him anywhere but on TV talking s*** about players and holding them to standards that he don’t even hold himself to or other people to…He’s a clown to me. He’s always been a clown,” Durant said to Doug Haller of The Athletic.
Thus, having established himself as quite a personality, Kevin Durant would hope to reflect the aura in his on-court shenanigans too, as he awaits his return from injury.
