Kevin Durant is no stranger to Twitter feuds

Shannon Sharpe, former NFL star and 'Undisputed' co-host, is known to make sensational claims both on the show and through his Twitter handle. However, things recently got out of hand when he went ahead and pushed a fake quote about Kevin Durant on live TV.

Following the incident, Durant took to his Twitter account to clarify the situation, and in turn, was blocked by Sharpe. He responded to the Brooklyn Nets forward's Tweet sometime later, asking him to discuss the matter in private instead of responding on social media.

The dispute began with Shannon Sharpe responding to Kevin Durant's claim that he is not motivated by the idea of winning rings. That's when Sharpe went ahead and attributed a quote to Durant, which later turned out to be fake.

​

KD, IF* you wanna talk to me. I’m not hard to find, but I’m not going bck and forth on social media. Whatever our differences are. They can be handled out of the eye of social media. 👍🏾👍🏾 https://t.co/60CGNzMRg9

Kevin Durant has never been far from the headlines thanks to his Twitter activity. A notable moment occurred in 2017, when the Brooklyn Nets star was caught using a burner account to defend himself against Twitter trolls. Kevin Durant later admitted to using a burner account, and the incident has been etched in the memory of NBA fans ever since.

Kevin Durant is expected to feature for the Brooklyn Nets in today's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, which was postponed earlier due to shootings in Minneapolis. After the game against Wolves, the Nets will play table-toppers Philadelphia 76ers, a team they could face in the Eastern Conference Finals this season.
