Internet Suspects Kevin Durant of Using Burner Account to Criticize Teammates
During the recent NBA All-Star Game, which marked Kevin Durant’s 16th appearance, internet rumors surfaced suggesting he might be using a “burner” account to criticize teammates. This speculation centers around an account named @gethigher77, which is currently locked, leading to questions about its authenticity and Durant’s involvement.
Allegations of Online Criticism
Reports indicate that messages from this alleged burner account called out several players. These included:
- Alperen Sengun for poor shooting and defense.
- Devin Booker, who received praise during wins but faced blame in losses.
- Russell Westbrook, referred to as a “triple-double cocaine bear.”
Given the nature of the messages, doubts remain about the veracity of the leaks from the account. While some believe the writing style resembles Durant’s known social media voice, it’s possible that some images may have been altered or taken out of context.
Context and Reactions
Fans and analysts are divided on Durant’s potential involvement. Key reasons theorists suggest he could operate the account include:
- Familiarity among peers in his group chats.
- A writing style consistent with Durant’s previous tweets.
- A well-documented history of active Twitter engagement.
Despite the ongoing discussions, no concrete evidence has confirmed Durant’s link to the account. As fans await more clarification, discussions continue across various platforms.
Looking Ahead
As the NBA season resumes on Thursday, it is anticipated that Durant will face inquiries regarding these allegations. The unfolding situation remains fluid, with potential developments expected in the coming days.
El-Balad will continue to update the story as more information comes to light.
