Kevin Durant's 'Parlayers' Disclaimer After Intuit Dome Struggle Sparks Fan Frenzy: 'Son Won't Be Able to Eat'

3 minutes, 25 seconds Read

Kevin Durant is back! And this time for good reason. Wait, what are we talking about? None other than his infamous social media outbursts. We don't have to tell you that the Suns had a spectacular performance in their 125-119 win over the Clippers. Led by a 40-point explosion from Devin Booker, Phoenix erased a 21-point deficit and scored 15 straight points to secure the win!

And of course everyone who bet on the wrong team and the wrong players ended up losing. Needless to say, they took to social media to vent. Only this time, KD was there first with a cheeky tweet. “Great dub suns, and good luck to my interviewees next time, lol” he wrote.

Unsurprisingly, the comments section was full of both amused and annoyed fans, with the latter group not at all in the mood to hear it from the “Slim Reaper.” Check out what a fan wrote in response to Durant's tweet. “Whatever. Now my son can't eat tomorrow and it's your fault.”

Well…yeah, you get the idea, right?

Then again, this isn't the first time Kevin Durant has gone to X to report “negotiating partner” what he calls her. In November 2023, after exceeding his scoring expectations against the Jazz, the two-time champion playfully called out those bettors who often reach out to him with complaints on nights when his performance falls short of their betting goals. With a light-hearted dig, he pointed out the double standards and reminded everyone that he is aware of the special attention of bettors.

“If I get you paid, you don’t DM me and send a small percentage to my Cash App, but if the bets don’t pan out, I’m every name in the book. You're not real,” he tweeted.

Online sports betting revenue was estimated at $14.30 billion this year. In addition, an annual growth rate of 10.73% is expected, which corresponds to a forecast market volume of $23.80 billion by 2029, according to Statista. That’s how popular and engaged bettors are in this area. So it's no wonder they get angry when they can't cash in on the returns.

And their frustration was clearly expressed in KD's tweet.

Kevin Durant's comment on bettors sparks outrage among frustrated fans on X

“No shade, I don’t think KD ever made me any money, selfish guy.” explained one user, expressing disappointment that Kevin Durant didn't help them win money through sports betting. Not that KD or any other player has any obligation to do so. And even if a player decides to go that route… well, just think about what happened to Jontay Porter.

This next fan decided to turn the tables on Kevin Durant. “In conclusion: Never bet on Durantula” they wrote, followed by a laughing emoji that reflected a humorous but frustrated sentiment.

Another fan echoed the same opinion as the one in the introduction. With one exception. “Now I can’t pay rent anymore. Thank you, KD.”

Finally, this fan seemed to have lost a lot. “I lost a 12 leg just for you family come on.” the user commented, his desperation clear to see. For those unfamiliar with betting terms, a 12 leg bet refers to a multiple bet where multiple bets are combined into one. For such a bet to win, all individual bets must be successful, which makes it particularly challenging.
