Kevin Durant has been at the center of fresh social media drama following the 2026 NBA All-Star Weekend, and this has nothing to do with his game. The latest buzz stems from rumors that he's operating yet another burner account on X (formerly Twitter).
This ties into Durant's long-documented history of using anonymous accounts, including a famous 2017 slip-up where he got exposed arguing in the third person about himself. While there's no concrete proof the account belongs to him, the Houston Rockets’ star hasn't directly addressed it.
Kevin Durant hilariously picks between Twitter & video games in hilarious All-Star jab
Amid all the speculations, the NBA star and the four-time Olympic Gold medalist has stated that his X game is too good for the fans. This all comes on the heels of a hilarious All-Star media moment where Durant, when asked if he would quit X or video games forever, chose Twitter, joking that fans "don't deserve" his "God-level like talk" banter and are taking it for granted.
Durant has built a reputation for sharp, unfiltered interactions, from defending his career choices to engaging directly with fans over the years. His social media presence has long been a mix of engagement and controversy, including past incidents with burner accounts and fan spats.
