Forward Kevin Durant is well-known for his scoring ability and prowess on the court, but off the court, we often see him interact with NBA fans on social media. He is one of the few NBA players to do so, and it is easy to see why people can appreciate his presence on social media.
Throughout his time on social media, however, some fans have noticed that Kevin Durant mostly responds to people that send hateful comments, rather than people who are fans of him. Recently, Kevin Durant explained to a fan why he focuses on the haters rather than the fans, noting that hate is a motivator for him.
“Hate drives me. Too much love will kill you.”

Kevin Durant is far from the only athlete who uses fan hatred as motivation, and it is easy to understand his mindset. Still, responding to more of his fans won’t hurt, and we’ll see if he changes his attitude in the future.
This season with the Phoenix Suns and the Brooklyn Nets, Kevin Durant averaged 29.1 PPG, 6.7 RPG, and 5.0 APG. He is still one of the best scorers in the league, and it’ll be interesting to see how his game changes as he continues to get older.
Kevin Durant Recently Recruited Bradley Beal To The Suns
The Phoenix Suns have already started this offseason with a bang by acquiring Bradley Beal, and it seems as though Kevin Durant played a part in that. A recent report revealed that he was one of the players to recruit Bradley Beal to the Phoenix Suns.
“Last week Bradley Beal and the Wizards worked on finding him a trade because the Wizards are clearly moving towards a rebuild. They started working together on finding him a home,” said The Athletic’s Shams Charania. “The Phoenix Suns aggressively went after Bradley Beal. From James Jones to Frank Vogel to Mat Ishbia to Josh Bartelstein their CEO and even some players — I’m told even Kevin Durant and Devin Booker recruited Bradley Beal. There were conversations with both Beal and his wife Kamiah. This team is all-in on a championship.”
Last season, Bradley Beal averaged 23.2 PPG, 3.9 RPG, and 5.4 APG with the Washington Wizards. He will be a perfect tertiary offensive option behind Kevin Durant and Devin Booker, and the Suns already look like one of the favorites to win the championship.
