Kevin Durant seemed to be in a mood to spend some time on Twitter. On Friday, Durant was involved in discussions on the social media platform with a few other users.

One notable conversation was when a user compared the current situation of Giannis Antetokounmpo to Durant of a few years back. The Twitter account HPbasketball, claiming to be a writer for Action Network HQ, wrote that he would be disappointed if Antetokounmpo were to “bail” as Durant had done.

“As with KD, whatever Giannis does is his decision and it isn’t a moral choice. It’s a professional choice which impacts his life, even if there are impacts on other people. I’ll be disappointed, like I was with KD, if he bails, but not in him, just that it happened,” the tweet read.

Antetokounmpo’s upcoming free agency has been talked about in recent times. Reports suggest that a few teams have already started preparations to be ready to sign him if he is available.

With Antetokounmpo being the star agency, many have compared the situation to how Kevin Durant was in 2016. Golden State Warriors were able to grab the dream move then and reports have already linked to a similar move once again for the Dubs.

The discussion on Twitter continued when Durant’s tweet caught the eye of basketball analyst Drew Shiller. It went on till someone asked why Drew Shiller always went after Durant.

Durant wrote: “He’s infatuated with me but drew was always scared to say anything in person. Just awkward head nods lol.”
