Kevin Durant, known for his online interactions with fans, seems poised to join the new social media platform Threads. The Phoenix Suns star hinted at this move on Twitter, jokingly suggesting he might use a "burner" account on the platform. Meta's Threads has quickly gained traction, boasting millions of users shortly after its launch. Its functionality closely mirrors Twitter, a platform Durant frequently uses to engage with fans and respond to criticism.

Durant's history of online engagement includes using what appeared to be an anonymous account to defend himself. His recent "burner" comment echoes this past behavior. Just weeks ago, Durant participated in a Twitter Spaces conversation titled "Kevin Durant is not top 5," expressing his frustration with how some fans analyze basketball. He criticized their focus on team success and questioned the validity of player rankings.

Durant's career has seen him play for several teams, including the Oklahoma City Thunder, Golden State Warriors, and Brooklyn Nets, before joining the Suns. He won two NBA championships with the Warriors but hasn't reached the finals since leaving the team.
