Kevin Durant Is Still Going at it on Twitter
Kevin Durant has been really active on Twitter since the Brooklyn Nets were eliminated from the NBA playoffs. But he's not engaging in enjoyable banter with friends and fans, he's answering grievances left and right. While it's fun to watch, it's also not a great look.
On Thursday, Durant got into a high-profile sniping match with Scottie Pippen after the latter's interview in GQ. On Friday, he took aim at ESPN NBA reporter Jackie MacMullan:
Once again, I don’t even talk like this…plus I don’t have a relationship with Jackie for us to have in depth conversations about my intentions as a basketball player. I get she plays an opinion based sport but she framed this like we are friends. We are not.. https://t.co/0D2GszSwhA

And he continued when people came to MacMullan's defense:
Congrats my g. Enjoy that

I don't really understand what Durant is doing here. What does he gain by going at Pippen like he did on Thursday:
Didn’t the great Scottie pippen refuse to go in the game for the last second shot because he was in his feelings his coach drew up the play for a better shooter??

Again, I don't understand the benefit for Durant to be trolling on social media. But this is who he is and who he has always been. His online persona does not suffer any perceived slight without firing back.
