I looked for a thread on this, and couldn't find one here. If there already is one, I apologize.
This the headline from an SB Nation article:
"Is Kevin Durant using this private Instagram account to argue with kids?
Forget Kevin Durant’s Twitter, the real drama is happening on Instagram"
If so, some WEAK stuff from a weak supposed superstar.
https://www.sbnation.com/platform/amp/lookit/2017/9/18/16327672/kevin-durant-private-instagram-account-arguments-nba-warriors
The internet is in a tizzy over the idea that Kevin Durant uses fake accounts to defend himself on Twitter, but that story is nothing compared to his private Instagram account that was unearthed in the wake of the Twitter conspiracy.
Several users on Reddit began questioning the possibility of Durant defending himself with a hidden account on Instagram. It begins with this photo, posted by KD’s brother, who tagged Durant with the account “quiresultan.”
The account is private, but it’s followed by numerous NBA players, Durant’s stylist and Big Sean — well-known friend of Durant. There are other hints too that this is really the hidden Instagram account of the Warriors’ star.
The profile picture is from Goodfellas, a movie Durant has referred to as being one of his personal favorite movies. The phrase “No live ball turnovers” is likely referring to Game 1 of the 2017 NBA Finals, where the Warriors scored 17 points off live-ball turnovers in a game that set the tone for Durant’s NBA Finals MVP run.
Finally there’s the name, “quiresultan.” Quire Avenue and Sultan Avenue are both streets in Durant’s home town of Capitol Heights, Maryland.
So what’s the big deal? Lots of people have personal Instagram accounts.
This is true, though people don’t usually use those private accounts to argue with fans about their real life, just as Durant has been accused of doing on Twitter. There’s a long history of him getting into comment beef with anyone, young or old, who has talked crap about Durant.
These comments were all on another post relating to Kevin Durant, also posted by his brother.
To cap it off, shortly after news spread that @quiresultan was Durant’s private account he deleted the profile picture and changed the account’s name.
Now called “shanghainoon12345,” the account is still active and has the same follower count. The original photo by Durant’s brother is still tagging @quiresultan, but Instagram shows that account as deactivated.
Initially it was our reaction to assume the late-night tweets from Durant’s account that defended him in the third person were a Twitter snafu by an assistant — but based on his hidden Instagram history it’s entirely possible the Warriors’ star does spend his free time arguing with people incognito.
What a world.
KD or KD's minions?
Does it matter?

Durant is SOFT.
He can say whatever the hell he wants, his legacy just won't be the same. Everyone will call him "soft" and a "snake".
And guess what, he may respond with "I'm a champion" and what not, but again, you see what he's doing on Twitter and IG right now with these (fake) accounts. SOFT.
He says he tunes out the haters when in reality he can't handle them.

What's KD doing? Lets ask KD himself:

His grasp of the English language is truly breathtaking and inspiring ::). B1tches, Gorillas, and the N-word, oh my ::), not to mention his Skip Bayless endorsement, l m a o :laugh:. Dude's gone full troll.
On the plus side, at least he isn't - or at least hasn't been caught :laugh: - liking p0rn on Twitter. Leave that to the professionals, Kevin ;) :laugh:.

No posting screen shots of profanity.

He's now admitted he did it

haven't read too much into it but it makes KD sound very very childish
you would think someone who is arguably the top 5 player in the NBA/world would have a much better demeanor

exactly. Its even worse when you realize he was cussing at children and people online and he's a multimillionaire about to be 30. And be tries to tell us he doesn't care what haters think

people may disagree with me on this one but i don't recall much that LeBron being this level of petty to fans ? I think since the "taking my talents to south beach", he has matured quite a bit (at least on the outside)
Whereas KD went full villain since he departed from OKC

Maybe I'm naive to all of this twitter stuff, but are we 100% sure that KD wrote all of this stuff? Has he come out and owned it?
I just checked @KDTrey5 and didn't see any of this....

Kevin Durant's full explanation on talking negatively on Twitter about OKC coach Billy Donovan & Thunder teammates (outside of Westbrook)
https://twitter.com/MarkG_Medina/status/910215531881414656
KD has secret accounts that he uses to defend himself and forgot to switch to them when he was replying to this guy I'm actually speechless
https://twitter.com/harrisonmc15/status/909634206355066880
no, I just deleted it.

Most likely he forgot to switch to his alt account.
The tweet about Donovan and his OKC teammates was in the third person.

Thanks. Funny that he forgot to log off his main account, and it looks like he is talking in the 3rd person. Just like Ricky Henderson. Lol

What happened to "I don't care about the critics"? Durant is a liar, a soft cupcake and a coward and he knows it. I'm also glad he didn't come to the Celtics. I'd rather win honorably than win with a cupcake that anonymously talks bad to fans
-
Hmmm makes me wonder if c's players have ever posted here anonymously....
-
Pretty funny that he got caught. Doesn't make him look like a professional.
One thing about the internet that stinks is a lack of accountability. Fans have the ability to be mean/nasty directly to a person on twitter, without any real consequences. I think creating false accounts is a reaction to that (albeit not a good reaction).
The media decided to turn on KD after his decision, almost like they did on Lebron after his decision. Notice what's happening to Kyrie after his decision.
I think it's weird that KD would do that. I also think the whole Twitter dynamic is strange from the get-go.
-
Durant is a piece of trash. It's ridiculous that he feels the need to create fake accounts in order to defend his decisions. I would have way more respect if he just dealt with the heat and played basketball. The truth is that he cares way too much about what other people think. He will never satisfy fans who believe that he took the easy way out. If I were him I would just say screw it and not worry about those people(myself included).

Did he just basically admit he couldn't be Lebron without teaming up in GS? "KD can't win a championship with those cats." I mean they were up 3-1 on the Warriors so they could clearly beat that team, which would have put them in the Finals against Cleveland. I heard on the radio this morning that before going to GS, Durant was 4-17 against James. I guess he knew he couldn't beat James without his super team up and that clearly worked as Durant was 5-2 against James last year. In other words, in the one year he was in GS he beat Lebron James' team more times then all of the prior seasons combined.

If KD is honest with himself, he realizes that he's the 2nd or 3rd best player in the NBA (w Steph). Lebron is #1. To beat Lebron, he needed to surround himself with a team that was better than Lebron's. Also, by going to GS, he wasn't taking a huge chance by leaving OKC (and all of the negative media attention) to go to another team and still not win a ring.
KD is a sure fire Hall of Famer. To climb up the NBA historical ladder, he needs to win a couple more rings. There was no better place to do so than in GS.
I would have done the same thing, and I bet silly Stephen A would have done so too.
Regarding the Twitter stuff- KD looks like a goofball, but real NBA fans will prob forget about this after his first 40pt game of the year. Those who love drama prob will never forget about it.

Sadly, Bron Bron taught Durant a lesson: your best chance of winning is on a super team. I remember Durant's expression coming off the floor and body language with his head down after the Finals thumping OKC took from the cHeat. It was like "how can we (I) ever beat these guys."
As much as I don't respect Durant, I wish that he picked us rather than the Warriors. For selfish Celtics reasons, yes, but also so that there would have been a more competitive balance in the league.
The forming of the cHeat as well as the bron Bron/Kyrie/Love troika definitely influenced Durant's decision.

why would fans forget? Its less forgettable as Durant is so hated. They'll remember it more than ever. Even Durant himself doesn't forget.... why do you think he hasn't eaten or slept in 2 days

Ok, I'll take the bait.
How did Miami cheat? Is this sour grapes, or is there some conspiracy that I don't know about?

Using a fake account to bash your former teammates and coach is Charmin soft.
