[Saba Sports News] Kevin Durant, the Phoenix Suns forward, expressed his frustration with sports gamblers recently. In a social media post, he criticized those bettors who blame him for their gambling losses, pointing out that they don’t share their winnings with him when they do win.
Durant humorously noted, “When I get ya [sic] paid, u don’t DM me and send a small percentage to my cashapp but when them parlays don’t hit, I’m every name in the book. Yall ain’t real.”
A fan lightened the mood by joking that Durant, earning nearly $50 million this year, should allow fans to enjoy their minor wins, humorously referred to as “band-aids,” a playful take on the slang “bands” for large sums of money. This comment amused Durant, who replied, “Couple band aids got me cryin [sic]. U right tho, lemme delete my tweet.”
This interaction came after Durant’s impressive performance in the Suns’ recent 140-137 double-overtime win against the Utah Jazz, a game likely resulting in a mix of wins and losses for bettors due to its controversial conclusion.
