Kevin Durant has been on a serious hot streak this summer mercilessly roasting NBA fans that come at him on Twitter. He’s spending so much time on the “haters” that their comments are heavily featured on the insoles of his new sneaker, the recently-announced KD 10 Finals.
It’s a unique shoe that does an excellent job capturing who Durant has been since joining the Golden State Warriors last summer, but the shoe and the statement said shoe makes has its detractors. As recently as this morning, Stephen A. Smith was on ESPN roasting Durant for putting “Bandwagon” on the insole because that is exactly what Smith believes Durant did: jump on the Warriors bandwagon.
Durant was in the middle of one of his nightly twitter roasting when one Celtics fan simply asked him for a pair of shoes because he’s ‘broke as f—.’
Scenario : you send me a pair of your new shoes because im broke as fuck 😎

According to the fan, who would later post the evidence on Reddit’s fantastic NBA home, /r/NBA, Durant agreed to his terms.
Needless to say, this is a pretty cool gesture from Durant, and one that likely won’t improve his standing with NBA fans at all. The Warriors are the most hated team in the league right now, and having their star player send a stranger some new kicks isn’t going to change that. What it will do is open Durant’s Twitter mentions up for thousands and thousands of free shoe requests, so have at it, kids. Tell Santa Durant what you want for Christmas. You just might get it.
