Anyone who’s followed Durant’s career over the years knows he’s almost as adept on Twitter as he is on the basketball court. So it was only a matter of time before he caught wind of the online uproar surrounding his dry skin and fired back. 

“I’m bouta pull my ‘y’all broke’ card in a second,” he wrote. “Fuck y’all.”

Even off the court, KD just doesn’t miss.
