Fans have slated Kevin Durant once again despite the Brooklyn Nets superstar looking great at pickleball.
Kevin Durant just can’t take a day off from being slandered on social media. The eccentric Brooklyn Nets superstar who is widely lauded for his ability on the court that has made him one of the most prolific scorers as well as one of the best players on the planet right now, somehow can not escape the slander on social media – and as it turns out, he has failed to do so yet again.
The two-time NBA champion was back amongst the headlines again after he was spotted playing the sport of pickleball. A racquet sport played with a small racquet and a ball, pickleball is rapidly growing in popularity in America and Kevin Durant was the latest to try the sport out – as a pickleball media account proudly posted about Durant donning the small pickleball racquet.
To most people’s surprise, KD looked like a professional in the video posted by ‘The Dink Pickleball’, connecting with every ball like he gets paid to play the sport. However, instead of applauding KD for being good at a new sport – the fans on social media ripped into him with some of the most brutal, yet hilarious replies we have ever seen aimed at NBA, or any athletes.
What did the fans have to say about Kevin Durant trying out pickleball?
Unfortunately for KD, he just can’t win with the fans on social media.
The NBA community on social media ripped into him as the tweet went viral in no time. While one fan said that “KD looks like he’s preparing himself for retirement lol!” while one of the replies to him said “Lmao it’s like a 401k, can never start playing too early”, some replies were kind enough to say “Fantastic addition to the sport for all. Love it!! Welcome KD!”
The negative comments however are not going to stop KD from trying out things – if anything, they are only going to fuel more hilarious interactions on his Twitter.
