Kevin Durant’s burner account controversy has become a hot topic on social media, and now, Bill Simmons has shared his thoughts on the matter. The Houston Rockets’ forward allegedly had a burner account on X, in which he posted questionable opinions about his current and former teammates. The American Sportswriter, Simmons, raised an interesting question about the team’s locker room situation.
While talking about the Durant situation on The Bill Simmons podcast, the analyst said:
“I assume there’s probably some smoke with the fire on this one. If this is all true and he’s talking about guys he’s playing with right now I don’t know if we’ve ever been in a situation like this. A social media scandal of revealed tweets/text of somebody disparaging people on his team that he then has to go play with.”
The locker room situation would be awkward if the rumors are true. The account in question mentioned KD’s several former Golden State Warriors teammates, and even current young stars like Alperen Sengun and Jabari Smith Jr.
The 16-time All-Star has led the Rockets in points and given a veteran presence to a team that was heavily dependent on a young core. KD is chasing his third championship after his tenure with the Warriors that ended unexpectedly. After the news became public on social media, the Durnt was seen in an awkward expression at the All-Star game.
