The parody account ‘NBACentel’ is notorious for spreading fake news and has a history of posting false information about NBA players. The supposed Tinder profile of Kevin Durant was no exception.
The ‘About Me’ section of the profile humorously stated that Durant was on the platform to change the narrative that women don’t like him. This, along with the origin of the post from a known troll account, should have been clear indicators of its inauthenticity.
Despite this, many fans initially believed the post, demonstrating the power of convincing satire on social media. At the time of publication, no credible sources or reputable NBA news pages had circulated the screenshot, further proving it was a fabrication by ‘NBACentel.’
This isn’t the first time Durant has had to address false information about himself. In a previous instance, he ruthlessly slammed a fan who fell for a fake tweet about why he is single. The fan, believing the tweet to be genuine, suggested Durant seek therapy.
The latest Tinder profile prank taps into the ongoing joke about Durant’s use of secret accounts, a narrative that has persisted since the 2017 incident. While the Tinder profile post was a hoax, it underscores how Durant’s past social media behavior has made such pranks believable to some fans.
The viral post about Kevin Durant’s Tinder profile was a fabrication by the parody account ‘NBACentel.’ Despite initially fooling many, Durant’s response highlighted the absurdity of the situation and the ease with which false information can spread on social media. The incident serves as a reminder to verify sources before believing and sharing sensational claims.
