And if anyone's been living under a rock the last few days, just Google Kevin Durant burner account.
Maybe you checked out over the all-star break.
Just Google Kevin Durant burner account and you can see exactly what we're talking about.
I agree with you that the fact that it wasn't initially refuted or quickly, you know, some sort of
marketing promo you know remember when lebron faked us out with the the whole retirement thing when it was a stunt for uh something related to amazon some sort of marketing promo i think nobody fell for that man well i know but my point is that if you're trying something like that
you don't let it linger for days.
So I'm inclined to believe that, you know, we're now multiple days into this and haven't gotten a direct denial that there might be something to it.
However, I don't think it's necessarily as simple as saying, well, this proves the worst case is true.
I think it could be that he wants to directly address it with his teammates and coaches in person, as opposed to initially taking to social media and dealing with more trolls.
I could see that being a factor, and I didn't report back to Houston, the entire team, until actually today.
That's my understanding, when they're going to fly to Charlotte.
And so that could be part of it.
It could also be a situation where it's nuanced, it's layered to where, you know, parts of it are true.
Like, I do think that there's some smoke tied to that particular account.
And perhaps some of the screenshots are true, but then some are completely fake by people trying to pile on.
And with these scandals on social media, it spreads like wildfire.
And it's so tough to trace things back to the actual source.
So it could be partially true.
And that makes it more difficult to explain, you know, for all of us.
And I think it includes Kevin Durant himself.
