Kevin Durant is known for speaking his mind without filters, showcasing his authentic and direct personality. Whether on social media, in interviews, or in public, he has always been known for speaking his mind without worrying too much about criticism or the expectations of others.

This candor makes him a unique figure in the NBA, where many prefer to maintain a more reserved profile. His willingness to speak his mind, even if it stirs controversy, reflects self-confidence and authenticity, setting him apart both on and off the court.

Kevin Durant points out who is hurting the NBA

During his Q&A session on X, he answered a fan's question and complaint about the worst thing in the NBA.

Durant didn't hold back, responding with a clear attack on those who want to steal the players' spotlight.

"Basement general managers and dark web commissioners have ruined the discourse of basketball. They think they know everything and hate the product. They endorse executives and owners," he wrote.

Fans used to make up fictional trades just for fun, but now they focus on commercial value, which has little to do with basketball.

Durant rightly criticizes those who care more about spectacle and profits than the quality of the game. More and more people agree with him and reject those who prioritize audience ratings over the sport.

Of course, that becomes a problem. Managers shouldn't take on a leading role. That should be left to the players who give their all for their teams. Currently, many fans are more familiar with certain executives than with legendary NBA players.

Fans began to theorize about who the attack was aimed at. I, for one, am concerned about how the NBA is being run.
