Kevin Durant was in the spotlight for the wrong reasons during Sunday’s NBA All-Star Game as the Houston Rockets forward’s alleged leaked DMs took over NBA X. Durant was accused of using a burner account named “getoffmydickerson” through which he allegedly dissed several players, teams and coaches, including his Rockets teammates.
Alperen Sengun and Jabari Smith, in particular, were two players targeted in those leaked DMs. Here’s what the text from Durant’s alleged burner said:
“Ima turn the ball over with this s**ty a** team. Idgaf. Your franchise player (Sengun) can’t shoot or defend. That’s wayyyyy bigger issue than my turnovers. Remember, these guys are your future.”
A separate screenshot said:
“I can’t trust Jabari to make a f**kin shot or get a stop.”
He added:
“He’s lowkey ret*arded”
After these alleged leaked DMs went viral, a post on X from “NBA Centel” suggested that the Houston Rockets were waiving Kevin Durant. However, that’s not the case. Durant is not getting waived by the Rockets.
The post garnered up to 296,000 views in two hours. While some are aware that it’s a parody account, it still left a lot of users on X confused.
