Self-proclaimed efficiency king! Durant responds to being called a team cancer: I’m just a dark cloud, stay away from me.

On December 29th Beijing time, Rockets star Durant engaged with fans on social media, responding to numerous subjects. Keyboard Durant’s presence always stirs up attention.

A fan commented: “Your overall performance has risen to a B grade. Keep pushing, young player. You’re making some progress. Cut down on mistakes.”

Durant responded: “You better support the other side, young man. We should only hear your voice when we lose.”

Later, another fan chimed in: “This guy is like the Beetlejuice from the underworld—call his name three times and he pops up, even if the other side has only 700 followers... Man, you really need to find a partner and have a kid; having weekend plans would keep you busy and stop this nonsense, my goodness!”

Durant replied again: “Am I sick or something?”

Soon after, a fan continued: “You’re a cancer to the team! Before you came, the Nets were a promising young squad, but you messed it all up; the Suns traded away their Finals core for you, yet you turned the team into chaos, and now they play better without you; and now the Rockets have become a terrible team under your lead.”

Durant answered this fan as well: “I’m just a dark cloud, stay away from me.”

Alongside criticism, there was praise. Data showed Durant’s shooting accuracy against the Cavaliers reached 64.7%, which is 20% higher than the average NBA player’s expected 44.7%. Durant himself shared the comment: “Efficiency king.”

In that game, Durant played 29 minutes, shooting 11 of 17, 2 of 4 from three-point range, and 6 of 7 from the free-throw line, scoring 30 points with 4 rebounds and 7 assists, finishing with a +24 plus-minus.

Durant’s genuine personality is one reason many people like him. Unlike many stars, he enjoys interacting with fans on social media and appreciates the fun of various exchanges.
