"That's a sick sick mind" : Kevin Durant calls out 'creepy' fan for disrespectful post on twitter

After a post-Christmas discussion with fans about the NBA ratings, Kevin Durant wound up responding to a troll on social media. On Saturday, a fan posted a screenshot of Durant getting some stretching in with a trainer before a recent game.

The angle of the photo showed Durant lying on his stomach while a trainer stretched out his legs from behind. The fan posted the picture along with a disrespectful caption on X, formerly known as Twitter, tagging Durant.

"This is how I envision a normal Saturday night going for @KDTrey5. You know he has never been more comfortable than he is in this picture," the caption said.

Durant then responded, calling the fan out for his comment:

"Creepy, that’s a sick sick mind you have over there buddy…"

In response, the guy who made the original post then replied to Durant, writing:

"Shouldnt you be arguing with children instead of responding to me?"

At the time of publication, Durant hasn't responded to the individual while preparing for tonight's Western Conference showdown with the Golden State Warriors.

Kevin Durant weighs in on Jusuf Nurkic and Naji Marshall's fight during Friday's game

Throughout Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns' Christmas game against the Denver Nuggets, the team advertised a highly-anticipated showdown against Luka Doncic and the Mavericks on Friday night.

While Doncic's calf strain kept him out of Friday's game, and Devin Booker has been sidelined for the past three games, things got heated between the two teams.

At one point, Suns center Jusuf Nurkic and Mavericks forward Naji Marshall got into an altercation that saw Marshall take a swing at Nurkic. After the game, Durant weighed in while speaking with members of the press:

“I turned around at the right time, to be honest. I didn’t know what they were talking about, I didn’t know what it was about. I just [saw] a couple punches getting thrown. You hate to see that in this game because you know guys are going to get suspended, maybe. You lose a lot of money doing that."

"But that’s what happens when you compete sometimes, tempers flare up a little bit and you go overboard," he added.

On the flip side, Durant said that he understood that players protect themselves as well as their teammates and understood the perspective of Dallas players.

In the wake of the incident, the league has suspended PJ Washington for one game, Nurkic for three games, and Marshall for four games. As a result, Nurkic will be sidelined until next Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
