The Golden State Warriors accomplished something Thursday night at TD Garden they had achieved only once during their eight-year dynasty run — they won a title without the help of Kevin Durant. Durant, typically an active participant on social media, kept to himself on Twitter the night of the Dubs’ celebration. However, a couple of commenters drew the two-time NBA Finals MVP out on Friday, June 17, with criticisms of him in the wake of Golden State’s fourth championship. One user claimed Durant’s legacy died with the Warriors’ victory, to which Durant replied sarcastically with the implication that his legacy was shot, at least in terms of public opinion, the moment he signed in the Bay Area nearly six years ago.
“Kevin Durant’s legacy just died,” @feltbot tweeted. “He’s now just the guy between Harrison Barnes and Andrew Wiggins. The guy who left the Beatles.”
