Houston Rockets star Kevin Durant joked Saturday that fans are “lucky” to get to see his trash talk on social media.
When asked during All-Star Weekend media availability if he’d rather give up video games or Twitter for the rest of his life, Durant answered: “I’mma go Twitter, because they don’t deserve to hear this God-level like talk I’m giving to them. They take it for granted.”
Durant’s comments came after he poked fun at ESPN reporter Shams Charania for using his phone during Friday night’s All-Star Celebrity Game.
Durant is set to play alongside LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard, Jalen Brunson and Jaylen Brown for USA Stripes during the 2026 NBA All-Star Game on Sunday afternoon at Intuit Dome.
The round robin tournament, which features two American teams playing against the international players on Team World, will start Sunday at 5 p.m. ET.
