Durant likes Instagram comment criticizing Westbrook, says it was an ‘accident’

Kevin Durant and social media is the gift that keeps on giving.

We regret to inform you that Kevin Durant and social media are once again in the news. Months after multiple rumors surfaced showing Durant having several “burner” accounts on which to defend himself or “like” things on Instagram or Twitter, Durant is now making headlines for liking an Instagram content that was critical of Russell Westbrook from his main account.

Durant claims that he inadvertently liked the comment, and told ESPN “No story here,” when asked.

The comment in question comes from a back-and-forth between several people, and is a response to one user calling the Oklahoma City team that Durant eventually left for the Golden State Warriors “subpar.”

“subpar” lmfao the problem was westbrook. They had a good ass team.

Now, it’s certainly POSSIBLE that Durant liked the comment by mistake. However, we know he had to at least be reading an argument/discussion in Instagram comments involving people he doesn’t follow, and that isn’t as simple as scrolling through a timeline and accidentally “liking” something.

Perhaps the burner accounts mentioned before were meant to be logged in, but then again, one might assume that Durant would be extra careful about that after all the talk the last time said accounts came up.

What happened the last time said accounts came up?

Durant is known for not being shy when it comes to engaging critics on Twitter from his own account, and generally in a way that doesn’t throw anybody under the bus. But one account in particular, at the time known as “quiresultan” on Instagram, went all-in on people who had bad things to say about him. And when I say “all-in,” I mean it.

That account was private, and was followed by numerous NBA players, Durant’s stylist and Big Sean — a friend of his. Private accounts for celebrities isn’t uncommon or a bad thing. But the way it was used ...

Durant denied that the account and statements above were from him, before the evidence continued to mount and he admitted fault. He apologized for using his former coach’s name and his former team in the comments, and called his own actions “childish” and “idiotic.” He also said that the account was “just for my friends and family.”

So back to Durant liking this Westbrook Tweet “by accident.” You tell us. Is it a conspiracy? Is Durant knee-deep in Instagram comments on the reg, once again? Is he, at this very moment, looking for the next thing to like, possibly from a different account?
