Kevin Durant clapped back at a fan who went after him on X. In the replies to a post by Durant promoting FanDuel, an online sportsbook, one fan criticized Durant for promoting sports betting while simultaneously telling fans not to blame players for their failed bets. Durant responded by claiming that players get all the blame for failed bets but never any credit for successful bets and that fans should be more respectful.
“No, I tell you to stop complaining about this life that you’ve committed to. When you lose, there’s finger-pointing. When you win, there’s gloating about how smart you are about seeing the future. No gratitude to the service workers like myself. I’m sick of it.”
This isn’t the first time Durant has criticized fans for their behavior and comments online regarding their parlays and bets. Kevin Durant has always been known for interacting with fans online, especially with their negative comments, calling out fans for their disrespectful words, and reminding them of how difficult playing in the NBA can be.
Durant is right to call out fans for their behavior online over gambling, as many NBA fans certainly take a lot of liberties with their comments online at fans. Gambling and sports betting always involve an element of risk, and people must always do it responsibly. But some fans cross the lines when they blame players’ poor performances on their failed bets.
Kevin Durant Must Focus On Recovery
Kevin Durant is currently out injured with a left calf strain. The Suns will be disappointed by this news, as Durant was playing extremely well with them, and the team was performing at a high level with him on the court. For the season, Durant is averaging 27.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 0.8 steals, and 1.4 blocks per game.
The Suns need Durant’s incredible scoring and production to continue their hot start to the season, so they will be hoping that his injury isn’t severe. However, given his horrible injury history, they will be cautious about bringing him back so soon. The urgency must be balanced with Durant’s health.
Kevin Durant has been out since the Suns’ game against the Mavericks on the 8th of November. Since then, the Suns have played five games, and have an abysmal 1-4 record in those games. Those outings just showed how important Durant is to the Suns and how they play.
While Devin Booker is one of the most talented players in the league, we know that he isn’t capable of carrying a mediocre team all by himself. This is why Durant will have to focus on recovering as soon as possible so that he can return to the team and help the Suns get back to their winning ways.
The Suns started the season really well, but currently are the fifth seed in the Western Conference after their heartbreaking loss to the Timberwolves. There is currently no timeline for Durant’s return, but the hope is that he can come back soon.
