There was the whole burner account situation years ago, but now he just fires off on his main account.<\/p>\n<p>In a VERY long thread where Durant said &#8220;it&#8217;s about time&#8221; that the Oklahoma CIty Thunder won a championship, someone asked why\u00a0Golden State Warriors\u00a0fans hate Kevin Durant now.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Them finals mvps, they will never recover,&#8221; Durant responded.<\/p>\n<p>Kevin Durant helped the Warriors win two championships in 2017 and 2018, winning Finals MVP both times over beloved Stephen Curry, and Durant may think that has something to do with why he isn&#8217;t as respected as he probably should be.<\/p>\n<p>Most NBA fans hated it when Durant left the Thunder to sign with the Warriors, teaming up with Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and Andre Iguodala to create one of the most talented teams we&#8217;ve ever seen.<\/p>\n<p>They dominated everyone in their path, and if it weren&#8217;t for Durant tearing his Achilles and Thompson tearing his ACL in the 2019 NBA Finals, they probably would&#8217;ve won three straight.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,w_4729,h_4729,x_1778,y_605\/c_fill,w_620,ar_1:1,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images\/ImagnImages\/mmsport\/inside_the_warriors\/01k2b85vs11cvse4ynyb.jpg\" alt=\"BREAKING: Kevin Durant Fires Back at Warriors Fans Amid Social Media Squabble -kien123\" \/><\/p>\n<p>May 27, 2025; Los Angeles, California, USA; Kevin Durant attends a WNBA game between the Atlanta Dream and LA Sparks at Crypto.com Arena.
