Kevin Durant has been told to “let things slide” with the two-time NBA champion earning a reputation for being overly sensitive towards criticism.
The Phoenix Suns star, 34, has been known for responding to criticism aggressively, and sometimes through the use of burner accounts. Durant likes to be his own “fact checker” and set the record straight but says other NBA stars are more outspoken than he is, and that the sensitive rep is unfair.
In fact, Durant believes that it was his move away from the Warriors which led to the increased criticism, joining the Brooklyn Nets and then later the Suns. “C'mon, you know what happened,” Durant said. “Because I went to the Warriors. But it's just like I've seen it, it's not just a ‘me’ thing, like, there are a lot of players amongst a lot of sports that interact with their people on Twitter, Instagram, socials, and I don't hear the 'sensitive' rep about them."
