A secret "burner" account allegedly used by NBA superstar Kevin Durant has been exposed. It is claimed that the experienced player, who plays for the Houston Rockets, used harsh language on the social media platform X regarding his teammates and former stars.
ALLEGATIONS SURFACED DURING ALL-STAR WEEKEND
The allegations in question began to spread rapidly on social media during the NBA All-Star weekend. Screenshots of DMs and posts sent from an account with the username "@getoffmydickerson" or, according to some sources, "@gethigher77," which is claimed to belong to Durant, have been circulating. These images, shared by thousands of users in a short time, have caused a wide stir in the NBA public opinion.
REMARKS ABOUT ALPEREN ŞENGÜN DRAW BACKLASH
The most notable part of the leaked messages was the language Durant used regarding national basketball player Alperen Şengün. In a discussion about the team's performance and turnovers, it is alleged that Durant said the following while defending himself:
"Of course I'm going to have turnovers with this sh*tty team, I don't care. Your 'franchise player' (referring to Alperen Şengün) can't shoot and can't play defense. That's a much bigger problem than my turnovers."
These words caused confusion among fans, as they contradict the positive statements Durant had previously made about Şengün.
JABARI SMITH JR. AND FORMER STARS ALSO FEATURED IN MESSAGES
According to the allegations, Alperen Şengün was not the only person targeted in Durant's messages. It is claimed that he also used harsh language for young Houston Rockets player Jabari Smith Jr.:
"I can't trust Jabari to hit a damn shot or stop anyone on defense. He's secretly an idiot."
Additionally, it is alleged that Durant made disparaging comments about his former teammates Stephen Curry and Russell Westbrook in the messages.
BECAME A SUBJECT OF MOCKERY ON SOCIAL MEDIA
The fact that the scandalous allegations came to light during the All-Star events also led to numerous humorous posts on social media. Moments when Durant was seen looking at his phone throughout the event became a topic of discussion with comments like, "He's writing from his secret account again."
HE HAD GONE THROUGH A SIMILAR PROCESS IN THE PAST
These allegations are not the first for Kevin Durant. The star player admitted in 2017 that he used secret social media accounts to defend himself during his departure from the Oklahoma City Thunder and remained the target of criticism for a long time. The latest developments have brought that period back to the NBA agenda.
