The Ultimate Retaliation: Kevin Durant’s Response to Angry Fans’ Gambling Losses

Kevin Durant has long been the most fantastic online superstar the NBA has to offer abandoning his alleged Twitter burner accounts and now equally likely to ship hilariously wild claps at fans or jump in offseason Warriors fan Twitter spaces to defend his basketball legacy against internet teens, all from his own profile.

Monday offered the latest example of Durant’s signature dry humor, with the Phoenix suns superstar who makes important criticism: If fans get mad at him when their over-unders on his points are wrong, why are they so quiet when he helps them win their parlays?

It’s a good point (ignoring that under NBA gambling policy and/or possibly the law, it would probably be wildly illegal for Durant to get kickbacks from fans who won money on a prop bet featuring him) . Fans can get very vocal in athletes’ mentions and/or DMs when their bets don’t work out, but few thank them with the same enthusiasm when they actually win money, and are often happy just to take credit for their ‘smart choices’. ”

Durant doesn’t have to go far to talk to someone who has experience with this problem. It can also get worse than a few mean DMs to send over a sardonic tweet. His new teammate, Bradley Beal, had to get the police involved when a fan reportedly confronted him about about $1,300 in gambling losses at a game.

Note to fools: It’s already pretty boring sending these guys mean Instagram DMs about your bad betting calls, but confronting them in person? Like they would care that you were stupid enough to bet that much money on Wizards Bradley Beal at the end of the season? That is downright stupid behavior.

Anyway, in that vein, I think KD brings up an interesting point: We should all thank these guys more when our prop bets strike. So I’d like to take this time to thank him in advance for the Suns’ victory. It’s much appreciated, friend.
