Did Durant get caught using wrong Twitter account to defend himself

Kevin Durant displays his down-earth-nature in a variety of ways, including defending himself to trolls _ whether from his own official Twitter or from another, false account.

The Warriors star seemingly dissed the Thunder on social media, as shown in screenshots captured by Twitter users Sunday, despite an apparent attempt at doing so anonymously via a different profile.

Instead, it looked like Durant was defending Durant in the third person.

Asked directly by a fan for "one legitimate reason" why he went to Golden State last summer, Durant responded with no holds barred _ even highlighting Thunder head coach Billy Donovan. All in third person.

"He didn't like the organization or playing for Billy Donovan. His roster wasn't that good, it was just him and Russ," Durant allegedly wrote. "Imagine taking him and Russ off that team, see how bad they were. KD can't win a championship with those cats."

Evidence of the two tweets is nowhere to be found on Durant's official account, suggesting Durant deleted them.
