Kevin Durant Once Went on a Star Wars Movie Marathon to Entertain Himself During Injury Phase: “I Started on Tatooine..”
Brooklyn Nets’ and Kevin Durant’s season ended after their first-round playoff exit at the hands of the Boston Celtics. With time at his hands, Durant could very well be binge-watching movies or TV series. In 2020, Kevin Durant tweeted about his Star Wars marathon while he was recovering from an injury. He shared about Tatooine and The Dagobah, fictional planets, appearing in Star Wars films.
And fans on Twitter are now having a field day with this tweet by KD.

While some players of the previous era had a reputation for having spats on and off the court, KD has a reputation for having beefs on social media. Durant and his burner accounts are no secret to NBA fans.
KD had one of the worst playoff outings ever against the Boston Celtics. And he couldn’t help his team avoid the sweep. After the game 3 loss, Charles Barkley had some harsh words for Kevin. Chuck said that “If you ain’t driving the bus, don’t walk around talkin’ ‘bout you a champion,”. He also questioned Durant’s two championships with the Golden State Warriors.

This has triggered a response from KD who doesn’t shy away from responding to criticism on social media. So Durant responded to Chuck calling him a ring chaser by sharing pictures of Chuck during his time with the Rockets and Sixers with the caption, “Where would Chuck be without the homies.” And pointed to Barkley’s attempts to win a championship with a super team.
KD also went on a rampage On Twitter replying to comments from NBA fans.
Kevin Durant’s championships
Durant signed with the Golden State Warriors in 2016. This was after the Warriors lost the finals to LeBron James and the Cavaliers in 2015-16.
With the addition of KD, the Warriors again reached the finals in 2016-17 against the Cavaliers. In the playoffs, Kevin Durant averaged 28.5 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 4.3 assists. And he helped the Warriors win the title. Kevin was also named the finals MVP.
The 2017-18 finals were a repeat of the previous two years as the Warriors and the Cavaliers locked horns again. This time, KD averaged 29 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 4.7 assists. And the Warriors swept the Cavaliers this time around to win the title. Again, Kevin was named the finals MVP.
Then in the 2018-19 season, the Warriors went for a three-peat only to lose the finals to Kawhi Leonard and the Toronto Raptors.

Even though KD joined an already stacked team with Curry and Klay, he wasn’t just a ‘bus rider’ in the title runs. And his two final MVP titles over players like Curry and Klay are proof.
