Durant’s online activities need no introduction. The two-time NBA Finals MVP has admitted to using burner accounts in the past. These were used to defend his performances and throw other allegations.

Recently, there is a viral quote that is doing the rounds on the internet, which is supposedly quoted by Durant. “I’m 7′ tall and have the skillset of a shooting guard. I am the best scorer in NBA history, my only weakness is injuries,” it read.
