Athletes don’t care about your bets, parlays, or fantasy teams but fans will continue to blast them if they do not come through for them on any particular night.
Many fans even take it as far as to message players knowing that most of them will never see it or even read it.
Kevin Durant is a man who sees and responds to just about everything. The Phoenix Suns star and avid tweeter are the latest to shout down bettors who complain at athletes when their prop bets don’t hit.
His public service announcement came after Durant led the Suns to a 140-137 double-overtime victory over the Utah Jazz on Sunday night by dropping 39 points, 10 assists, and eight rebounds, falling just shy of a triple-double.
Whoever had him on a parlay or as a prop bet certainly hit everything unless they took him on under.
Durant joins a chorus of athletes who have had to deal with persistent direct messages and exchanges with fans and bettors over their stat lines.
