KD continuing the trend of players getting annoyed with being spammed by sports bettors when their parlays don’t hit. I doubt it’ll stop anytime soon with the league continuing to expand it’s connections with sports gambling

Legacy points added. I’d say this puts him at #1 in the mvp race
Ez fix, give every player 1% of the winnings if a parlay hits
Totally no drawbacks to this plan
/S
I have no qualms about the legality or morality of sports betting.
However — as someone who enjoys watching professional sports but doesn’t bet on them — sports media getting more and more sports betting-centric over the last few years has been so fucking annoying.
lmao i love KD
KD with the efficient Tweet
If I could defend my guy here… I don’t want anybody betting on if I clear my audit at work either. That’s just a weird situation. Your money is riding on *my performance in a specific situation*. That bet is on you, not me.
que?
KD is the twitter GOAT
lol I feel like this would be illegal.
kd post-warriors has become pretty damn likeable not gonna lie.
Sports betting is a cancer to actual sports performance. It’s fine if you do it but nobody who doesn’t bet gives a shit about it, especially the players.
Also, prop bets are basically Goodhart’s Law in action. Why would a coach care if one of his players has a low statistical night if they can get the win a different way.
Gambling has always been an issue but there’s going to be a gambling addiction epidemic in the next decade. The high school kids I coach, who aren’t even of age to gamble, are already putting way too money on sports games. I try to make them see that it isn’t a good idea, but they’re in it already. It’s a plague.
I love my team so much I don’t want to bet on them lol. I don’t want to mix my money with my sports. I have enough bad habits.
This is why we can’t have nice things. If you want to bet be my guest, I would even dabble from time to time if it was legal where I am. But the fact the it’s infested coverage of sports sucks, and the fact that people will abuse players when things don’t hit, as if their obligation is to get you paid instead of help their team win, is just ridiculous. Humans ruin everything I guess.
This is actually hilarious. I agree with KD here and people getting angry at their bets losing are probably betting more than they should
Wonder what KD’s cash app balance is sitting at
I usually don’t like KD but he’s speaking facts on this. So many athletes receive hatemail and death threats for not coming through on parlays or whatever (I don’t sports gamble). People can gamble if they want but those degenerate gamblers need to stfu
I wouldn’t have thought Durant uses cashapp
People complaining to players over their shorty bets are complete losers.
Lmao does KD know that would be illegal 🤣 his point stands but come on Kevin
Ridiculous. I hate sports betting so much. You would think that the NBA would know better after Tim Donaghy. Not to say that fixes didn’t happen before but with betting everywhere now I guarantee its happening
Mr Durant if I place bets on you I will give you 10% pls contact me I know ur here
I know this is reddit and this place tends to be an echo chamber regarding most topics. This particular topic though bugs me to no end. I honestly wouldn’t mind sports gambling if it wasn’t so in your face.
The start of the game brought to you by Draft Kings! The Fanduel halftime show. Sham breaking news sponsored by FanDuel. This player is shooting free throws so its time to show you the over/unders for today. Welcome to JomboyMedia sponsored by Draft King. Today were playing Madden brought to you by BetMGM. The FanDuel Postgame show. Bet 5 dollars and you COULD win 1000000 dollars ^(see terms)

It’s so crazy to see how normal it is becoming to pushing such a harmful addiction onto people.
The people I know who love mainstream sports betting are the biggest pos, no-friends-left-having, anti-social, alcoholic, boring, and depraved people on the planet.
People who only talk about their parlays, or what bets they made on games, are the biggest losers out there. Cut them out of your life if you associate with these type of brain dead individuals
I like to bet occasionally and when I lose I feel dumb enough already. I don’t need to go compound that stupidity by then going on social media and publicly blaming my issue on someone who isn’t responsible.
Uh KD if we did that you’d get suspended for a year minimum lol
I would love to see a player fuck up a popular parlay on purpose, then openly rub it in after the game. Like, post game interview: “what was up with that brainfart pass into the stands on the final possession?” Player: “well the game was decided at that point, and I knew that there was a common parlay relying on me finishing with less than 3 turnovers, so I wanted to ruin that. Suck on it, degenerate gambling addicts.”
Harassing the NBA Twitter GOAT

betting and the league’s embrace of it will be the ruin of the nba
Well kd this is also part of the reason why you have the money you do. Business is evil but it gets you and the owners tons of wealth
Bruh how is he bothered? He has multiple accounts to be worried about
Gambling is the most pathetic addiction. Be an alcoholic like a real man.
KD isn’t wrong, but I’m waiting for the players to look at the league and assign at least a portion of the blame for encouraging gambling on such a large scale. I doubt it’ll happen publicly, if at all, but the league does have fault in this too.
And no, I’m not excusing dickhead fans for treating players like they’re not human beings.
Shut up fool
Man what kind of wild bet are people taking that KD scoring like 40 points fails their parlay?
This is so funny . Kd is always complaining about something . You get paid millions of dollars why do u want money from us for u doing ur job . Clown
They’re degenerates plain and simple.
Gambling sucks….and thats coming from a gambler
I really hate how legal betting has made degenerate losers feel like they aren’t degenerate losers.
Honestly he’s right about this one.
KD been absolutely killing it recently. If you betting on him and not winning you just suck at gambling
that sounds seriously annoying
Sports betting is a plague
Gambling is the worst shit ever
