Kevin Durant of the Houston Rockets is no stranger to expressing himself on social media. However, recent buzz suggests he might be using a burner account on X to critique both current and former teammates. The account, @gethigher77, has been linked to comments about players like Jabari Smith Jr., Alperen Sengun, Kyrie Irving, and Devin Booker.
Bill Simmons, on his podcast, speculated about the account's authenticity, humorously naming it "triple double cocaine bear" and expressing his belief that KD might indeed be behind it. Simmons pondered whether Durant's presence on the Rockets is worth the potential drama, despite his undeniable talent. He compared the situation to the "Chris Paul zone," where a player's contributions might not outweigh the distractions.
Durant, however, has brushed off these rumors, labeling them as mere social media chatter. After a Rockets practice, he emphasized his commitment to the team and maintained that his relationships with teammates are solid. According to Basketball News, KD assured fans that the team’s focus and preparation remain unaffected by the online speculation.
