Kevin Durants career has been defined by his ability to remain consistent.

He has maintained the same routine both on and off the basketball court.

Unlike the bulk of NBA superstars, Durant is quite vocal with fans on the internet.

When confronted with a fans criticism, he has never been one to hold back.

However, in a recent exchange with supporters, his demeanor shifted from his typical self.

KD s recent social media exchange came on the platform X.

A Nets fan account shared a post highlighting the return Brooklyn received in totality stemming from trading Durant to the Suns.

The 14-time All-Star responded to the post saying, U Welcome.

Those two words opened the floodgates.

One fan quoted his post and proceeded to go on a rant directed at Durant.

The user declared that Durants shortcomings in last seasons playoffs brought not just personal but overall joy to Nets fans.

Brought the entire net fanbase joy we havent had since your 2021 run, the fan posted.

Durant responded to the harsh choice of words simply with an emoji saluting.

Durants approach in his interactions with these fans was significantly calmer than times in the past.

Others began to take notice.

One fan asked KD the question, Has bro reached acceptance?? The Suns star provided a much more on-brand response.

Ive accepted that most people will die haters, said Durant.

This didnt stop the questions from coming in.

One user asked a seemingly genuine question out of curiosity.

They asked, You dont think theres ANY truth to what some fans have said to you about your career from an outside-looking in perspective? Durant didnt dismiss the question.

He provided a serious response stating, I tend to think peoples assessment of my journey comes from an emotional place more than a truthful place.

However, not all fans carried themselves respectfully in their responses to Durant.

His final interaction involved shutting up a disrespectful fan who attacked Durants personal life.

The user said, No wonder you have no wife or kids.

Durant set the record straight regarding the fans criticism of him.

I was trolling swipa for rooting for Serbia over the USA and Nuggets fans took offense to the trolling.

Not my problem, said Durant.

Kevin Durant has never been one to care about what fans think of him.

Its one of the reasons he dared to sign with the Warriors in 2016.

In addition, he doesnt take the criticism from fans too harshly.

At the end of the day, he is still one of the best players to ever play.

However, the ultimate way to shut fans up is to win on the biggest stage, which he is attempting to do with the Suns this season..
