Phoenix Suns superstar Kevin Durant loves when people hate on him.
Durant was tweeting his haters on Tuesday when one of his fans asked why he even gives them the time of day. He had a pretty good response to the question:
“Hate drives me. Too much love will kill you,” Durant tweeted.

He openly wants people to dislike him because it fuels him to be the best. Sure, Durant likes being loved by fans, but he also likes it to be a good mix between that and being hated.
Durant will have a chance at his third NBA title and his first since 2018 when the 2023-24 season starts in October. He’ll get to team up with Devin Booker and Bradley Beal to make it happen after Beal was traded to the Suns over the weekend.
The Suns are coming off a second-round playoff exit at the hands of the Denver Nuggets.
