The never-ending social media wars between Kevin Durant and his critics might have gone deeper than most expect, engaging in any debate and welcoming most trolls who have something negative to say.

It appears that his recent online battles might have more than meets the eye, allegedly also having a private Instagram account dedicated to clapping back at some of his followers.

A reddit thread between OP Chancellor_West and commenter willin_dylan brought up Durant's brother had tagged him under the username “quiresultan” — coincidentally the two cross avenues of Durant's home back Capitol Heights, Maryland, per James Dator of SB Nation.

This account, though private, is seen on many comments, using more aggressive and sometimes profane comebacks defending Durant, which leads to believe it can be him behind the username.

That username has now recently been changed to “shanghainoon12345” — per Tim Cato, making this saga that much more obscure and fascinating, especially after Durant admitting to engaging in social media debates for the fun of it.

Durant might have his hands full with the release of NBA 2K18, known as an avid fan of the franchise's MyGM mode, but no one really knows what he's been doing when the hands are off the sticks in this offseason.
