Kevin Durant has plenty of time on his hands these days, something that KD has made the most of by getting on Twitter and engaging with fans and members of basketball media alike. Durant says whatever he's thinking, whether he's giving hoop advice to someone that asks for it or he's calling out the media for saying something he didn't like. 

Throughout this time, KD has had issues with the biggest sports pundits on TV, including the likes of Stephen A. Smith, and Skip Bayless. The two are known for their controversial and strong opinions about players, something that often lands them in hot water with NBA stars who have had enough of hearing what they find to be unwarranted criticism. 

However, recently, Bayless and Smith ended up beefing with each other a little, after a story SAS told about how he ended up on First Take rubbing Bayless the wrong way. The two went on to clear the misunderstanding and mend things with one another, and KD was on hand to sarcastically comment after they did. 

"Awww, I'm so proud of these men."

Durant has expressed his dislike for the two separately in the past, so there's no sincerity in this tweet. He just seems to be enjoying two prominent media members who have so much to say about athletes and are now having issues with one another that are taking them time and effort to solve. 

KD's Twitter presence has truly been peak during this offseason. He seems to be going off on whatever tangent is available to him on any given day. Getting the unfiltered takes from a superstar of his caliber is excellent for the fans, although it does lead to Durant getting some criticism. With how many haters he's had in his career, though, it surely isn't something that KD isn't used to by now.
