The internet is famous for its bizarre observations, especially with the NBA. From LeBron James’ clone to spectators puking on the court, this season so far has been as insane as it gets. Recently, Kevin Durant’s legs became the center of social media’s attention and Durant clearly did not appreciate that.
When a picture of his legs went viral, Durant lashed back at the internet. And sometimes the internet does not appreciate a player standing up for himself. So, obviously, he received a lot of hate for being too honest in his response. Some even said that his language was sarcastically “classy” for his young fans. It is then that he decided that he does not care about what his young fans think of him.
