Kevin Durant had himself a day on Tuesday. No, it had nothing to do with playing basketball. Instead, his day revolved around beefing with Charles Barkley, discussing Kyrie Irving after getting swept by Celtics, and defending LeBron James and Stephen Curry. However, none of that compared to a comment he made on Twitter after dealing with trash talk following the Nets getting eliminated by the Celtics.
Although he dealt with a myriad of criticism, it was the following Tweet which officially set him off.
it’s ok to defend yourself, but the mistake KD made was doing this in the morning and giving Inside time to prepare. they have an army of producers experienced in the art of pettiness. theyre going to be in photoshop all day. those stage directors probably setting up for a band.

Rob Perez is making the point that the show “Inside the NBA” is going to go after him for the way he handled things with the media.
Kevin Durant then replied with a Tweet that will surely catch your attention.
An army of producers against the god. Just Another Tuesday https://t.co/yxHlYT8Efl

KD obviously feels like a victim. However, he also seemingly has an extremely elevated view of himself. There is nothing wrong with self-esteem, but Durant had to have known he was going to get roasted for referring to himself as “the god.”

“Calling yourself the god after that series is crazy”
I don’t get why you guys are so mad at what I call myself. It’s about good affirmations right? Be happy for me https://t.co/DqPhwbd8Gs

In summary, Durant followed up his tweet referring to himself as “the god” by asking why people are mad at him and then asking them to be happy for him after the Nets were swept by the Celtics in the first round of the postseason.
Brooklyn undoubtedly has a bright future, but Kevin Durant is not making any friends on social media right now. But he probably does not mind. KD has no problem playing the role of the villain. He will aim for revenge next season.
For now, all we can do is sit back and see what else Durant decides to say on Twitter.
