NBA superstar Kevin Durant thought it was a good idea to troll the founder of Barstool Sports. However, the move backfired when Twitterati turned the tables on KD. The Brooklyn Nets superstar recently retweeted a short clip of Dave Portnoy shooting hoops. In the caption, he expressed how awful Portnoy’s shots were. While KD might have expected the fans to back him up, it turned out to be the other way around.

Fans troll NBA superstar Kevin Durant

When you’re an accomplished professional basketball player, you tend to just everyone’s ball skills. So when Dave Portnoy reposted the short video, there was no way Kevin Durant was passing up the opportunity to comment on his basketball skills.

“Suit or not, u stink. Where?s my pizza reviews?,” wrote the two-time NBA champion.

However, things did not go well for KD when the fans questioned his skills instead. Fans trolled him for not winning any championships after his exit from the Golden State Warriors. Let’s take a look at some tweets.

Fans are apparently skeptical about the 12-time NBA All-Star after he departed from the Warriors. KD won his two NBA championships when he was with them. After playing three seasons, Durant signed with the Brooklyn Nets. Since he left, Curry and the Warriors have added another title to their trophy cabinet.

In September 2022, KD requested a trade from the Nets amidst Kyrie Irving’s COVID vaccination issue. However, Durant and the Nets were able to iron out their issues.
