On Sunday night, Kevin Durant’s Twitter account — whether he was the tweeter or not — defended his move to the Warriors by throwing Billy Donovan and his ex-teammates under the bus in the process.

There’s several reasonable theories to explain the third-person KD tweets, but if Durant was indeed the tweeter, it wouldn’t be a drastic shift from his recent social-media behavior. Ever since the NBA Finals, Durant has taken control of his Twitter account and has been excellent. He’s been raw, candid and hilarious. He’s clapped back at random Twitter trolls, which, too, has been great.

Still, despite Durant’s superstar status, he genuinely cares what people say about him. Last week, Durant answered the question point-blank from a YouTube commenter (yes, he reads the comment section).

When a fan suggested that Durant shouldn’t care about what haters and critics say, Durant wrote:

of my stature, I play basketball, I got acne, I grew up with nothing, in still figuring myself out in my late 20, I slide in DMs, I make fun of my friends, I drink beers and play Xbox. I’m closer to you than u think

In a sense, that’s more genuine honesty than we should ever expect to find from an NBA MVP in a YouTube comment section of all places. Yet, it also explains Durant’s recent activity on social media. He’s heard what people have said about him ever since his move to Golden State, and if he can use social media to change the mind of one person, he’s going to try.

We shouldn’t try to stop him either.
