This comes after one of the league's best scorers responded to a Twitter user who disagreed with the idea of calling him the, “greatest scorer of all time.”

That led to a back-and-forth on Twitter, and that continued into Thursday evening.
Just a few days ago, when the NBA announced that Durant and the Rockets would open up the season in front of the Oklahoma City Thunder, fans began debates about whether or not Durant deserved to have his jersey retired.
U don’t want me to answer this but what I will say, muse pages and Stan accounts don’t make none of these decisions..
