Kevin Durant Calls Out Critics Off All-Star Game

The NBA All-Star Game on Sunday went over poorly with the fans, who lamented the broadcast on social media for a variety of reasons, including the fact that just over 30 minutes of basketball were played over the course of a three-hour broadcast.

Fans also criticized the NBA’s decision to implement a new format that featured constant interruptions from ads, announcer ceremonies, Mr. Beast segments, and Kevin Hart openly and awkwardly roasting the players over the arena speakers, but Kevin Durant called out the critics themselves on Monday.

Durant defended the league and called out fans on X on Monday.

“I think it’s more fun to complain about the NBA than to actually watch it. Crazy, cancel All-Star Weekend and let’s just give everybody a break since we’re so miserable around this time,” Durant said.

This isn’t the first time Durant has called fans out on X for not actually liking basketball.

Durant replied to a fan comment, adding, “I get it. My point is, fans complain about EVERYTHING. Like nothing is good enough for the fans right now. Only thing they enjoy is playoffs, trade deadline, free agency and when players beef with each other lol.”

The NBA’s on-court product isn’t perfect, as many have lamented the uptick in three-point attempts and foul-baiting, but there is plenty to love about how the game has progressed.
