Kevin Durant cares what people thinks about him. That much is clear.
We also know a fan tweeted this at the Warriors star:
@KDTrey5 man I respect the hell outta you but give me one legitimate reason for leaving okc other than getting a championship

Did Durant respond with third-person tweets critical of Billy Donovan and the Thunder’s supporting cast for him and Russell Westbrook? These screen shots make it look that way:
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

If Durant actually sent those tweets, he since deleted them. If these are fake, the fabricators went to decent effort, with different screen shots posted to different long-existing accounts that don’t follow each other.
Fairly or not, Durant is going to be the butt of many jokes today. If he addresses this -- even to deny sending the tweets, which look they were intended to come from an account other than his official one -- he’ll likely only make it worse.
His best bet is just to hope this passes until he can get back on the court and change the conversation with his excellent play.
