Kevin Durant went on a ruthless tirade on social media after fans called out the Phoenix Suns star for losing their parlays.
Kevin Durant and his weekly social media feuds with fans and analysts are highly entertaining. The Phoenix Suns pulled off a late game come from behind victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday. Even though the Suns emerged victorious, some fans took issue with Durant’s statistics in the game. They claimed he ‘ruined their parlay,’ but KD promptly responded in a way that only he could.
Stop blaming me for losing money because you have a gambling problem

No, YOU think it’s a game gambling with your life like this every night. Be more responsible

While the game saw Devin Booker returning to form, Kevin Durant ended the game with just 18 points and four turnovers. KD went on X to congratulate his team on their win. However, some fans trolled Durant for his off-night after he mocked fans who bet parlays on his performance. Durant immediately called out the fans for their ‘gambling problem’ and their callous approach to gambling money.
Kevin Durant did not hold back as he grilled fans who blamed him for losing money. KD continued to grill another fan who called the 14x All-Star’s performance against the Clippers ‘trash.’ Durant ended the game against the Clippers with 18 points on 7-13 shooting. While it may not have been his best night, the Suns still pulled off a 21-point second-half comeback on the back of Devin Booker’s season-high 40 points.
The Phoenix Suns take on the Portland Trailblazers next on Saturday night. After a rough night against the Clippers, expect a bounce-back performance from KD against the Blazers. The team has serious championship potential if all can stay healthy.
Kevin Durant lists his scariest athletes of all time
Kevin Durant has one of the coolest and scariest nicknames in professional sports. The ‘Slim Reaper’ or the ‘Durantula’ are two of the scariest nicknames in sports. However, KD is a ‘fun guy’ for the most part. So, who does KD think are the scariest athletes to face off against? Durant joined the Up&Adams show with Kay Adams to reveal his list of the scariest athletes across any sport.
While many may have expected names like Mike Tyson or Michael Jordan, Durant had a different approach to his list. The 36-year-old pulled out some classic names, handing the fifth spot in his list to retired linebacker Lawrence Taylor. KD continued to ride the New York scary train, listing former Knicks player Charles Oakley in the fourth spot.
But the real surprises came with Kevin Durant’s top 3. Durant had SF Giants legend Barry Bonds in the third spot for his scary demeanor. The top two saw KD’s former teammate and Pacers forward James Johnson, who has been known to be an enforcer in the league.
However, the top spot was the most surprising pick, as KD chose former New York Giants HC Bill Parcels as the scariest person in sports history. Safe to say, Durant had put some serious thought into his picks before landing on some of these iconic athletes as the scariest players of all time.
