This week in Twitter news: Durant strikes back







Oklahoma City Thunder start Kevin Durant tweeted back to an analysis ESPN's Henry Abbott made when he pulled out some random statistic about the Thunder being a better team when Durant is on the bench. Durant just defended himself, didn't throw back anything negative toward Abbot, but it's funny how fast media is changing and how quickly athletes can publicly respond to things like this.

I just hope Durant understands that Abbott himself probably knows that it was a bogus statistic, but he gets paid to talk about random statistics that are wrong half the time. I also hope that Durant doesn't take every criticism to heart unless he's like MJ and uses every little thing as motivation which in that case it's all the better to fuel his fire.
