Warriors’ Kevin Durant defends his barbs on social media

Kevin Durant may be unique when he’s on the basketball court, but put him in the social media arena and the Warriors star says he’s no different than any of us.

Durant doesn’t understand why he’s been criticized for his recent online interactions with Fox Sport’s Chris Broussard and even fans.

“I’m a human being with a social media account,” Durant told reporters Friday at the Warriors practice facility. “I can see if I bitch at all about politics or culinary arts or music, and giving me input (there), but I’m sticking to something I know.

“I’m qualified to talk about basketball,” said Durant, who is hoping he can recover from a calf injury and play in the NBA Finals.
