When it comes to NBA history, Kevin Durant is undeniably an intriguing case study. He is undoubtedly one of the top players of his generation, and there was a point in time where he could even be argued as the best player in the league. It’s difficult not to ponder how his career may have unfolded if it weren’t for Game 6 Klay.
Although Kevin Durant’s decision to join the Warriors as a free agent was his own and deemed acceptable by some, it still received backlash from others. However, his subsequent moves to the Nets and Suns have contributed to the perception that he is a player who frequently jumps from team to team and requires a super team to achieve success.
Although he is a highly accomplished businessman and regarded as a great team player, there appears to be a certain elusive quality about him. Recently, after maintaining a low profile on social media, KD finally addressed rumors suggesting that he played a role in recruiting Bradley Beal to the Suns.

NBA insider Shams Charania reported Monday on FanDuelTV that Booker and Durant helped recruit Beal to the Suns, with that tidbit later aggregated by the NBA Central Twitter account.
When Twitter user @unvariedd responded with Durant’s handle, writing, “I thought @KDTrey5 was just a hooper lol,” the former league MVP took notice.
“Here’s your response, thanks for all the support when I was a [N]et,” Durant replied.
Durant also responded with four laughing emojis to a Twitter user who called him a “true b*tch.”
In response to numerous tweets, Durant expressed his belief that jealousy surrounds him. However, he plans to retire from the league in a few years, rendering it irrelevant. Only time will tell how things will pan out with the Suns, but for now, the trade seems to be widely disliked for various reasons.
Here are some of KD’s Tweets.
