Kevin Durant has joined the chat.
The 15-time All-Star and active online poster took the time to weigh in what to do about the NBA’s All-Star weekend.
The NBA has tried for years to breath life back into the best-of competition, but Sunday’s edition received a lot of criticism for the format and a broadcast overrun with Kevin Hart bits.
Durant, potentially sick of the discourse, took to X on Monday to jokingly (we think) propose an extreme reaction: cancel the event entirely if no one likes it. (Unfortunately, sarcasm does not travel well on the Internet.)
“I think it’s more fun to complain about the NBA than to actually watch it,” Durant wrote. “Crazy, cancel all star weekend and let’s just give everybody a break since we’re so miserable around this time…”
Durant participated in Sunday’s game as part of Team Shaq’s OG All-Stars, which cruised to victory in the finals after nearly falling to Team Candace’s Rising Stars in the semifinals.
The weekend had its moments: Mac McClung’s perfect run to a dunk contest three-peat was so good that it inspired some actual All-Stars to (maybe) join the competition next year. But there’s been general consensus about a pretty lame All-Star weekend that left a couple of winners and a lot of losers.
As he often does, Durant doubled down on his take, going on a commenting spree in response to X users who disagreed.
At one point, Durant clarified that his criticism was more about the fact that NBA fans love to complain.
“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,” Durant said.
In response to one fan who said that the discourse was a form of “constructive criticism,” Durant had a cheeky reply: “And I am constructively criticizing your criticism.”
