Kevin Durant is known for his active presence on social media, especially on X, where he engages with fans and critics alike. Recently, Durant found himself in another exchange with an NBA fan who questioned his basketball knowledge and defensive capabilities.
The fan referred to a post by Giannis Antetokounmpo, where the Greek Freak emphasized the importance of defense, suggesting that elite offense alone doesn’t win championships. The user expressed their lack of respect for Durant’s basketball knowledge, claiming that he doesn’t prioritize defense.
In response, Durant challenged the fan to provide instances where he has explicitly stated that it’s all about offense when it comes to winning titles. Another critic brought up a tweet from Durant in July 2023, where he wrote, “Offense wins u championships brother.” The tweet was a response to a statement that claimed, “offense puts people in the seats, but defense wins you championships.”
Durant responded by asking if the critic believed that scoring is not essential to winning games. While Durant is known for defending himself against critics on social media, he also deleted the tweet later.
This incident is another example of Durant’s willingness to engage with fans and critics on X, where he shares his thoughts and opinions openly. The exchange highlights the ongoing debate about the significance of offense and defense in winning NBA championships and provides a glimpse into Durant’s interactions with fans on social media.
