Jason McIntyre explains why Kevin Durant should stop arguing with fans online and emulate MJ and Steph.
Kevin Durant is a basketball legend, but he can’t seem to let go of his online critics. The Phoenix Suns star recently crashed a Twitter Space where some fans were debating his place among the top five players of all time. Durant argued with them for a long time, trying to prove his worth and dismiss the importance of team success.
However, more interestingly, Durant didn’t stop there as he tweeted back at some trolls who questioned his achievements and s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁s, calling them “jealous of the real players” and “whack as f**k”. Many NBA fans and analysts wondered why he cared so much about what random strangers on the internet thought of him.
One of them was Jason McIntyre, a sports analyst and host of the ‘Straight Fire’ podcast. He said that Durant should get a life and stop being insecure and sensitive about his legacy. He also suggested that Durant should learn from Michael Jordan and Stephen Curry, two players who have influenced the game and have solid legacies without caring about what others think of them.

“Kevin Durant needs to get life… Let your resume speak for itself,” said McIntyre. “You’ve got a phenomenal resume… Why are you debating it with a bunch of knuckleheads on the internet?“

McIntyre said that Durant should let his resume speak for itself. He said that Durant has a phenomenal resume, with four championships, two Finals MVPs, two regular season MVPs, and two scoring titles. He said that Durant is undoubtedly one of the best players ever, but he needs to stop being insecure and sensitive about his legacy.
McIntyre argued that Durant should focus on winning more titles with the Suns and enjoying his career rather than wasting his energy on online debates. He said that Durant should realize that he has nothing to prove to anyone and that he should be confident in his own greatness.
Durant has been a dominant force in the NBA for his entire career, averaging 27.3 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game. He has also won two Finals MVP awards and four championships, the last two with the Suns. He led the Suns to a 45-37 record in the Western Conference last season, but they lost in the first round of the playoffs.
