Kevin Durant has sent basketball Twitter into a frenzy.
The Golden State Warriors forward, replying to a tweet asking for a legitimate reason for leaving Oklahoma City Thunder, said he didn’t like the organization or playing for coach Billy Donovan, as well as the roster’s thinness.
Interestingly enough, Durant spoke in the third person, leading some to believe he accidentally sent the tweet from the wrong account.

Durant quickly deleted the tweets, but saw his fair share of jokes once the theory started floating around.
“I’m not mad, I just made special hater shoes & set up burner twitter accounts to defend myself but I’m definitely not mad”
