It is only right that now we talk about Kevin Wayne Durant. His middle name is Wayne? It is. Wow. Kevin Wayne Durant has been exposed on Twitter. The KD files have hit the timeline. And man was it epic. We have a lot to talk about today.

It was amazing. So if you guys are not aware, Kevin Durant has been very active on Twitter for the past six or so months. He's re and forever. For the past 12 years. For sure. But he's gotten more into it as of late. He's gotten very active arguing people. Shameless.

Shameless. I spend a lot of time arguing with fans. Feel how you feel about that. Kevin Durant is a investor in a company that funds drone technology that sold that drone technology to the IDF and has been an active part of all of that. Conversation turned real quick. Damn. People on Twitter have been begging Kevin Durant to acknowledge that he is involved with a company

that is an active part of the IDF. he's been ignoring it nonstop what is he going to say right he has acknowledged it and this led to chaos because he responded to this random discourse about the trophy design

he responded to it and then Pranav went down here and said not as much as I hate your drone investments and then he responded to that opening the floodgates because he finally acknowledged it once this happened

obviously he didn't say anything about it he made a joke and induct it again they don't want to talk anything about the war crimes and just kept push and talking my trophies, right? This opened the floodgates where everybody said, all right,

time to Rose, Kevin Durant. And what did people do? They pulled out receipts. And what are these receipts? They were leaked DMs from group chats that he's been in for years where he has been communicating with fans about everything involving his MBA life behind the scenes and has been telling them all kinds of stuff. And this is stuff from slandering teammates to making jokes about his involvement with the IDF

to talking about his coaches that he hates. Up and down, he's had. So many leaks that do not bode well, I think, if you're in the locker room with Kevin Durant. And I think we can start with this one where, can you zoom out, put it on the screen. Coach called that play and that pass to Elpy. I'm going to turn the ball over with this shitty-ass team. I don't give a fuck. Your franchise player can't shoot or defend.

That's a way bigger issue than my turnovers. Remember, these guys are your future. Also in this one, he insulted one Jabari Smith, Jr. By saying he cannot be relied upon, and he insulted his intelligence by calling him. him the R word. Jabari Smith Jr. is a player on his team that has said he's looked up

to Kevin Durant's his entire life and modeled his game around him. And Jabart and Kevin Durant says, this guy's a fucking idiot. How old is Katie?

About 37? 37. What a burner. What a burner. Get off my dick or something. Yeah. And now you may say it's a burner.

Is that true? That is him? 40 by the way. 40 by the way. These are all off a burner, right? Mm-hmm. Allow me to be a reporter

a little bit. Go ahead. this is all true. Yep. Me and Donovan have known about this for about four years. These group chats he is in

are the worst kept secret in the NBA. And a lot of people have known this and that's why our timeline has been flooded with them. We have a friend, obviously not going to put it out there,

who is in these group chats and has been in them for years. In 2021, he used to do this on his main account at KD. Tray 5. He led to see on his phone. I went through and I saw him talking about the Brooklyn Nets

in 2021 on his official accounts that got exposed in 2021. Didn't get a lot of motion, but a screenshot we got out there, you start using these burners. But we have known about these for years. A lot of other people on Twitter have, it's been a worst kept secret that somehow has not gone out there.

It's insane. These are just Kevin Durant fans turned like, you know, social media friends like a lot of people normally would. You know, you meet guys on Twitter to your friends with and start communicating with them. That's normal. Not when you're Kevin Durant and those people are your sycophants and are your stands who you just get this weird parasycial relationship with,

which I guess it's not parissocial because they know each other. But it's a strange dynamic to have these groupies and these fans turn friends that you sit here and talk shit with and think is going to stay on it's not going to leak anywhere and it's it's funny because in this specific screenshot like you have the two thumbs up in a lot of the screenshots that that we saw whenever whenever katie would make a joke a reactions not reactions like everybody it's glazing to the topest topest team and it's it's very funny that even after the like you said in 21 when that first league happened even though that like it got out there,

that you would still have multiple group chats and still say, yes, this is something that I'm going to do. He needs it. It's crazy. And to be fair, it's not just glazing. I forget we've seen these group chats. It's also like they're roasting him. And like it is like, it's more than just people being like, Kevin Iran, I love you, gar garg garg, garg, garg, like, it's not just that.

But it's weird. I'm sure that can't help, man, because he be coming up here sometimes on whatever press conferences or interviews or whatever. And sometimes he'd be referring himself to the guy. and I'm 100% sure partly is because of these people too. Yeah, it's a weird dynamic

where he has these group chats and he says everything under the sun too. We have this next one and pull up these souls. I started holding Steph accountable and film and they looked at me like this. Listen, he is funny.

Also, I love your reactions. The funny part is, everything he's saying is true, by the way. He's not lying. He's being dead honest. Alperin Shingoon cannot shoot. He cannot defend. It is hard to deal with

as you're Kevin Durant. But he's saying all this stuff to these people allows it to go online this is horrible as a teammate how is the Houston locker room gonna get come back from this I have I have no idea

and there were so many there's so many pictures and videos of KD with Shangoon yesterday and everybody just keeps quoted in and says does he know does he know yes like what is Shambari Smith Jr how does he possibly get over this

like that is he's an adult he's grown ass man they'll move past it clearly I won't forget that I spend all this time on TV saying I look up to you and you call me that to people like just

Snicker at. Katie got to be one of the worst teammates of all time, bro. Yeah, so that's the real takeaway. Outside of like MJ and him actually put physically being like mean to people. Actually, I don't know. I'd rather you be like MJ and like do something physical,

get your shit off rather than Katie and just have like a nasty paper trail. Just evidence, just constantly just talking shit about people. That's way worse. Yeah, that's the, that's the biggest thing because I'm, I'm a thousand percent sure. There are other players that have felt the way that Kevin Durant has about his teammates.

I'm sure LeBron has went home. and cussed out and cussed out Mo Williams to Savannah. Like I'm like, you know, like he has had problems. Now, if it comes out that LeBron for years has been in Twitter DMs with random people, saying, saying all of these stuff, that's just a complete lack of awareness on his side. And that's the bigger issue. And so nobody, like you said, nobody is saying that Kevin Durant is a liar. Nobody is saying that he is not valid in feeling this way about certain teammates or

about his current situation. You cannot be putting this information out there. with so low security about your thoughts. This cannot operate this way. And like, everybody talks shit about their co-workers to their friends. That's not like abnormal.

You know, he's not some fucking villain because he doesn't like certain people. There's DMs of him hating every star teammate he's ever fucking had aside from James Hardin. And to do it to like, I've told you issues I have a co-workers.

I'm not going one by one. It's not like my MO to let you know in my most common form of conversation how much I fucking hate everybody and how bad everybody is. Like, he comes off just like an asshole. Like, just like a loser. Like, he's just like,

and it just does not reflect well on his character overall as a professional. Yeah. To say this to just random people on Twitter. Like, if this came out and it was just a screenshot from ex best friend or whatever, no one would give it to him.

I mean, you care because it's like, oh, wow, like that's I feel crazy. But it wouldn't be as bad compared to this. Yeah. And the Rockets one is super interesting because obviously, like, these go back a whole bunch of years. And it's just crazy because

what if you're just crazy because, what if this happened before, right? Like the Rockets are at the, at, in the top half of the West, right? They, they want to win the championship. They are going to be in the playoffs. So trying to go on a title run. If any of this stuff got leaked before game three of, of a playoff game, it would, it would just, it would be. They should have waited.

Fuck, man. I wish it would have been the prevailing narrative. And it would be the number one thing that everybody's talking about and asking about instead of, hey, like, how are you guys locked in for game three trying to win this playoff series. And let's look through them all. Let's cycle through all these tweets. There's so many to look at after the

Rockets one, which I think was the biggest deal. This one is going back to, I think, the Phoenix Suns days. I guess they lost the game. He said, I really got to laugh to stop myself and crying. I swear I miss Ben Simmons. At least he would give me the ball. And another one of these, he was like, Ben Simmons is depressed.

He doesn't even like basketball. Because I can't rely on him for shit. Keep sucking through the ball. Let's keep finding more because there's no. I'm crying, man. There's a lot. There's a lot. It's just like, it's so weird, bro.

Because it's like, you know, you're an all-time player. One of the 15 people would say you're one of the 10 most talented players of all time to ever fucking touch a basketball. And you're just with randoms, bro, like this. Come on. He said, nah, Kyrie really on his best behavior around the Europeans, but treat his own people like they owe him something. Actually, is this one fake? I think some of these are fake and they're pretty clear. I don't know if this one's fake or not.

Because some of them you can see on the text, there's like weird gaps on the blocks that tell what they're photoshopped. This one I can't tell. I haven't seen this before. So it might be. You would have thought me and James Hardin shit in his cereal. This would might be fake because some of them you can tell.

There's like a Trey Young one that's egregious. Possibly, possibly. Okay, this one's real. I think. Since MJ Punchker in the face, he don't fuck with darks him. You gotta give it to me. He's funny, man.

Mentally, this guy's 17 years old. He was born in the wrong era. Like, you would expect shit like this to happen from, I don't know, something like Jeremiah Fears. Damn, that's valid to go in and feel like that. It's valid to talk shit about some like Zion was or whatever it is in the head coach and all this stuff going over there. But you, KD?

This one's funny. This one doesn't bother me. This one's funny. It is funny. He's hilarious. It's just, it's just crazy that we're at this point. And we've had multiple instances of KD like being being on Twitter. He's been, he got exposed years ago for the burner.

and then the stuff in 21 happened that was, you know, again, swept under the rug. Every five years we have something of like, bro, why are you doing this on, on Twitter? He called, this is a response to some graphic that had numbers

between point guards. He said, I wouldn't say Kai was competing with me, but that light skin and that triple double cocaine bear were. Triple double cocaine bear. Obviously talking about Steph Curry and Russell Westwood. He said he feels like, He's saying what everybody's always said,

there's some little dynamic where they're competing for numbers and some stepping on the toes. He said facts. And he called Russell Westbrook a triple double cocaine bear. Cocaine bear. So what the fuck. I hate to say it, but that's a perfect description for Russell Westbrook. Cocaine bear.

He said, I miss James Hardin, man. He's a good guy. Slightly delusional, but I understand him. Slightly delusional. Like, we just got to get all this shit off, right? I need to introduce him to journaling, right? I need to introduce him to the notes app, right? No one needs to see.

It doesn't talk back the same way DMs do. I guess so. Life with Devin Booker and Vogel, someone sent, and it was a screenshot of Kevin Durant's numbers. He was struggling at the time. He said all this because book returned. Again, it's obviously during the Suns in the first year. He said two dictators, Stalin and Hitler,

Mussolini and Kim John. The Suns are my team when we lose and books team when we win. I've seen this one before. This one is real. This is the type of stuff we've seen him talking about. A lot whenever our friend was showing us in years past. Meanwhile, Devin Booker's on Instagram posting

36, Brothers for Life. That being 35 plus one. And then being this dynamic duo and then he's in the DMs. Actually, he's Mussolini. And the coach is Kim Jong. This is bad. This is so bad, man.

Why are he just saying this to rain? Dude, does the Bruce drop him off of the NBA? And he's just saying this for group chat kikis. Like, just in front of all these fucking fans, like laugh at these jokes. They're going to love it when I talk about players because I'm a player. They always want to hear this stuff.

This is why. Just no awareness. And it really is, it is funny because there were like, you could get a lot of information. Because there was like, there were times where stuff would happen and we, we'd go to our friend and we'd be like, yo, ask KD about this. And then he'd be like, okay. And then go ask, go ask, go out, Katie.

Come, come back. We get a screenshot and then see, see his response. Like, it's, it's very, it was very easy to get a lot. A lot of, a lot of, like this. He was, I don't know why they're starting. So I remember back then when there was the Nets, he was saying that I didn't ask for Deionre Jordan.

The reports are me and Kyrie wanted him. The coach loves DeAndre Jordan. I don't go fuck about him. At this point, I feel like he was lying. And it's just like, now he's saying, Deionter Jordan sucks, the only one of the bus because the group chat will find it funny.

That's the other thing. A lot of people get in the group chat and make jokes. And like, it's not too bad to like want to get last in the group chat. It's a friendly fun thing to do. Not when you're Kevin Durant. these are random motherfuckers on the internet that you don't know. Why do you need this as a release in your life? Find your wife, man.

This will prevent so much. This is the issue. Hoop is literally his life. So we have this is a recap of all of them. I think we don't have some screenshots up, but here's the full list of things we got from the ones that I think are real. The Rockets franchise player, can't shoot or defend being shangoon.

Jabari Smith is R word. Steve Kerr has hated black people ever since Michael Duran punched him in their mouth. Oh, but we didn't even pull up that one. If Israel needs drones, just let me know. he made a joke about it that was just like somebody had sent the

the link in there to somebody criticizing him for it and he said if y'all need drones let me know making it into a fucking joke which to ignore it okay

I guess from a PR perspective I don't know what you're supposed to say so like I'd rather you ignore it than that bullshit like that's fucking outrageous obviously to make light of it we didn't even pull that one up

uh Devin Booker and Frank Volgaard dictators Stalin and Hitler Mussolini Kim Jong-Hoon The Sons are my team we saw that one Yeah

I miss Ben Simmons Oh Steve Kerr never drew a or suggested anything, but he wanted a bunch of titles. Chris Paul doesn't know shit. Yo, he's just talking like a random dude on Twitter. And I remember we saw that too. Back then, Ben Day when our friend was in there,

I remember him talking about Chris Paul being annoying and being grading. Many people have said that. He caught out yoke his turnovers right here. Yep. If you don't run the cut off and pass the ball to Steph Curry, the Warriors will cut you. I saw somebody quote that to me and Camino's like, facts.

Yeah. I'm trying to tell you. So again, nothing he's saying is like outrageous in terms of the facts of it all. But why are you saying these things? Should not be here. We should not have one a tweet where we have to scroll down multiple times to get everything in the frame of all these of all these leaked conversations. And I'm curious to see how it affects the rockets. And obviously it's big on Twitter like KD is going to know it.

But for. You know what's the funniest part too? When this all leaked, it happened like, D. around the All-Star game and then he would just talk to the camera would just pan to him and throw like every single picture, whatever would be the tunnel or he's just like out there right before the game starts. He's on his phone the entire time, bro. Yeah.

And he's just witnessing this chaos happening. That was the funniest shit. Yeah, if he's out there just phone the entire time. The funniest part though, the icing on top of the cake. I think this is real. It seems real to me, but I don't know for sure. This guy on Twitter, Buzzbee, who if you are on hip-hop Twitter, he is a gigantic Kendrick Lamar fan. And the whole beef, he was like the face of Kendrick.

Lamar Glazers, widely known as being Kendrick Lamar Glazer. Kevin Durant, best buddies with Drake. Big fan, rides or die, OVO, tattoo on his chest, I'm sure. It's twin for him. Yep, that's his actual friend, so he's obviously a Drake defender in the whole interaction. Mr. Busby tweets, look, I got my past transgressions. Hilarious start, if you have any idea of what he's talking about, that I haven't put on the summer jam screen for in the past.

So in a way, I kind of empathize with KD, but he has been a whole. whole ass weirdo talking to himself in my DMs. And you go on here and look at this. He was in his DMs all the time during the beef stuff talking to him. Buzz, you talked to Kendrick Lamar today? Hey, goof. Your daddy dot text you today. Hey, goof.

Who cares about a chain when you got billions? I'm wondering if your daddy Kendrick really knows you exist. Hey, fats. Do you want Drake dead? Just harassing him. Going glaze for glaze. Yo, he's actually... Oh, by the way, there's three pages of this.

You ignore me? Stop ignoring me, bro. Look at the times. Are y'all seeing the times? It's at 6 a.m. Yeah, he's doing a lot. He's doing it. Off the wake, okay?

Come on. He wakes up and glazes. This does something to him when it comes to like how we view him as a player, a top 15 player of all time because now like obviously like players and their personalities get exposed a lot more and that's done a lot of good and a lot of bad,

but specifically for Katie and for his all-time status, it does so much bad because whenever you talk about him, feelings are involved way more in the conversation compared to talking about him as a talent. And this is what he did on his own, which is bad in all-time conversations overall. I think it affects him as a person. Like, I always say we, like, not to psychoanalyze people.

We can psychoanalyze a fuck out of this. I feel like we have that free reign. He allowed us to do so. Correct. This is crazy. I feel like if I'm a teammate of his, I can't really trust him. Granted, everybody talks with their friends.

So it's not that crazy. We're seeing a lot of evidence that you do it more than most people or you do it in ways most people don't. Yeah, that's the thing. In ways that most people won't. Also, lokey, kind of have to push back. Kind of respect is you're high functioning. You're right.

I mean, he knows he has an issue. You're out here with the problem. Still one of the greatest scores of all time. It makes you look immoral. It makes you look greedy, making those jokes just because you're invested in a company. Like, everything about this makes Kevin Rand look bad.

High functioning is insane. What's something like you would say that? Just being up in his DMs, a 6 a.m. is insane work, bro. Go stretch. Fuck. And this is also funny because apparently he had, he had called out Shams

because remember Shams is at the Celebrity All-Star Games. And he was on his phone. And Katie was like, really Shams? Like during the game, get off your phone. That-da-da-da. Bro, we're about to tip this game off. Game starts in seven minutes. Lock the fuck in.

What's going on? And they panted him in the warm-up. he's seeing his eyes. He's thinking elsewhere. Let me pull that up. He's thinking about them drones. He's thinking about their tweets.

God, man. And to think, all of this happened because he decided to get involved with some trophy discourse and replied to the tweet about the drones after finally, he broke his no contact

on the drones of it all. And now this shit ruined his life overnight. Look at this dude. I am a criminal. He's proud to be about it. They got me. I'm not going to lie.

I'm getting cooked out here. That's that face right there, man. Oh, man, man. Kevin Durant. Shout to KD, man. He's always out here giving us content, giving us stuff to talk about.

Man, respect to. This is crazy. It's a weird player. If this happened two months ago, what do you think what happened in the Rock his locker room? What happens now?

Like, do they, can they get over this clearly? They're grown men. But, like, they also could not. This could think their season. Like, I don't think it's an exaggeration. I'm not saying it's a guarantee. It very well could.

It might. It might. I think the, yeah, because the week and a half, two weeks leading into it really for a while, but like those two weeks specifically leading into the All-Star break, you really saw a lot of the issues for the Rockets really start to pile up. And they seemed like a team that just needed a break, just needed time away. And now it comes out and it's like, yeah, Kevin Durant needed to be away from those guys. But I think for them, it's also, it's hard because they were already turning down.

They had a couple of injuries. And so if they do kind of fall off, are they falling off because of their overall problems or are they falling off because of this KD stuff? Y'all think the Rockets should slash would suspend them? I saw those conversations on the time. Nah, you can't. If you suspend them, then you're completely acknowledging. Of course, we all know this is real, but you're acknowledging and you're showing everyone on the team that, you know, this is very much real. At that point in time, you're cooking your chemistry.

Well, it's pretty clearly real. I don't know if you can get past that. It's already real, but you legitimize it. The one thing that Katie fans and KD stands are holding on to. is like, we keep asking people for screen recordings. We're not getting any. Like, that's it. I have seen screen recordings.

Let me be the first. Let me be a reporter. I have seen screen recordings. I understand that. Publicly, if the screen recordings are not out there, that's the one thing that the rockets can use. That KD can use. We're trying to indict KD.

Well, one of the people. To have some kind of like plausible denies. I forgot the tweet. One of the people that was in the joke tweet, in the screenshot of the joke about the drones, a guy above it, I forget his name, was in that screenshot.

people were on him seeing like, oh, you're letting him laugh about this. You think it's funny to make jokes about war crimes, huh? And then he basically was like, I can't believe you take this away. I sent the message before that, not after laughing. Yeah. So he basically confirmed that that is a real message. So that one is real, confirming that the burner account is real. There's other points of confirmation people found.

The holdup will be, because some of these people were making some of jokes to, like, play onto the joke. So which are real, which are fake is hard to figure out in the age of AI. But a good amount of these are clearly real. And that's something that I don't think he can just deny. It would be pretty, for someone who prize himself on being, like, honest and open, it would be pretty hilarious to try to decline it now and say none of this is real. But do you think the Rockets should suspend him?

Should? No, I don't care if they suspend him. Like, if they did, I'd get it. But, like, I don't know if they should necessarily. But I also know that if I'm a teammate of his and I see... You suspend him. You're losing them games. Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, I don't care if they do that. But I know that if I'm in the locker room and I don't know, Fred Van Lee or some veteran leader who probably cares about this type of stuff. and I know that when the going gets tough he'll go to his friends and insult Jabari Smith's intellect and his ability to fucking be functioning, I would feel a type of way about that.

Yeah, I just know, players have been suspended for behavior detrimental to their team before. Oh yeah. And I don't know, this is directly team related. This isn't because wasn't John Moran suspended off of that cause? Yeah. Yeah, this is like, I don't know, directly involved with the team. I don't know. Yeah, and it's tough because his name

isn't technically on it from like a PR standpoint to the rest of the world that's not terminally online. So it's probably harder than like John Morant being like, hey, like, it's pretty easy. Should you get suspended? Yeah. What was his problem? So it's probably pretty hard to go that far.

What do he think like the internet was going to say or react to me? Yeah, man, he's so tough, bro. Yeah. And it's also not a crime to be mean to your teammates. I don't know what the league was suspended for. Yeah. He's so tough, bro. Dot, too, man.

I don't do that. What do you think people were going to do? tough man well now i think less of katie than i thought of him yesterday unfortunate for him exposed I thought it was over the burner stuff man never never never because he he was tweeting more from his mainst i was like i

he lied he lied living a double life and Montana head ass all right what's your favorite tweet James Ardwin yeah I understand him yeah James Hardwin

Triple-level cocaine bear That's what the thing St. Steve Kerr has hated Dark skin I liked the I started holding step accountable and they looked at me like this This is so funny

Who do you think was looking down crazy for criticizing steps? You know exactly who was looking at him crazy Right, Steve and Dray Mom in No Iggy Iggy will ride and die for Seth Curry Actually I think Steph Curry Would be me the right decision

Does not take the charge? I can picture the Bean and Phil and Katie speaks up and he just puts his hand on Katie's chest he's like, relax, man.
