It has been quite a busy summer for Kevin Durant after winning his NBA title for many reasons away from the basketball court.

Durant now finds himself at the center of a situation revolving around the use of another Twitter accountant to defend himself on social media against the critics who are still hounding him for leaving the Oklahoma City Thunder last summer.

With that in mind, Charlotte Hornets forward Frank Kaminsky came to the defense a bit of the reigning NBA Finals MVP by stating he would entertain the idea of having a second secret Twitter account.

This is likely something that is more common that may be perceived as there may be many more players in the league who are going this route on social media. It's certainly a way to keep track of things without the public knowing that they are operating in that fashion.

The reason Durant is catching plenty of flak for it is that he continues to address all the critics, which has given them a raised platform to conduct more of that type of behavior toward him because he cares enough to respond. It's something that is going to persist as long as he chooses to respond to the naysayers on social media.

In the meantime, it is a strong lesson for not only Durant but other players across the league to learn from moving forward.
