Kevin Durant Responds to Fan Trolling Him with Compilation Video: ‘U Welcome’

In a recent matchup between the Brooklyn Nets and the Phoenix Suns at Barclays Center, the Nets faced a 136-120 loss. Notably, it was Kevin Durant’s first return to Brooklyn since requesting a trade last season, and his homecoming stirred mixed reactions from fans. One fan took to Instagram to troll Durant by creating a compilation video showcasing some of his low points in a Nets jersey, including missed game-winning shots and defensive lapses.

The Instagram post was intended as a response to the tribute video the Brooklyn Nets franchise gave Durant during the game. The fan captioned the post with sarcasm, saying, “Thanks for all the memories goat,” accompanied by two goat emojis. In a surprising move, Durant responded to the trolling with a simple yet sarcastic comment, stating, “U welcome.”

The trolling incident originated from a debate on social media platform X regarding whether Durant deserved a tribute video from the Nets franchise. Despite Durant expressing his initial reluctance for a tribute, the Nets decided to honor his time with the team. Durant, in turn, appreciated the recognition during his post-game interview, acknowledging the positive aspects of his tenure with the Nets.

While fans may have differing opinions on whether Durant’s time with the Nets warranted a tribute, Durant’s calm and minimal response on Instagram effectively turned the tables on the user attempting to troll him. The exchange highlights the dynamic interactions between athletes and fans on social media platforms.
