Maybe this is all a troll job by Durant. The NBA superstar could be bored now that the league has entered the off-season. Whatever the case may be, Durant has now given more fuel to the fire for his haters. Which could be exactly what he wanted in the first place. Now he will have more messages to answer and tweets to send during his downtime. McIntyre claims to still be a fan of Durant, the player. However, his actions on social media seem like a waste of time to the podcast host.
We've reached the point in the off-season where everyone is looking for a story anywhere they can get it. If anything, McIntyre should thank Durant for this moment. Now the league can have something to talk about while waiting on the next blockbuster trade to happen. Do you agree with McIntyre that Durant should stay away from social media? Or do you enjoy it when Durant puts a hater in their place? Let us know in the comment section. For the latest sports news, keep it right here with HNHH.
