Seth and Sean lay out some reasons they're starting to think the burner account that talked bad about some Rockets players actually does belong to Kevin Durant, and wonder how Ime Udoka can be so dismissive of the situation.

00:00all right we're burying the lead let's get to what is it we were all waiting for well i was
00:03boy it was funny yesterday um as i was kind of going through putting the rundown together in
00:09the in the afternoon and i'm like oh i was writing on wednesday i'm you know i'm putting
00:14stuff in the rundown for thursday and i'm and so i wrote today is the day today is the day
00:19we find
00:20out if kevin durant was really behind the burner account that said all those mean and nasty things
00:25about people like jabari smith jr and alperen shengun and others we're going to find out today
00:31and as it turned out we've in my opinion we found out yesterday literally as i'm typing it i go
00:36on
00:36twitter and the rockets are having a practice and they're talking to kevin durant and i'm like oh
00:42here we go here we go so here it is is what we've been waiting for the burner account could
00:48ruin the
00:48rocket season potentially here kevin durant was this you i'll give credit to varun shank
00:55car of the houston chronicle for asking the question of kevin durant i know you got to ask
01:00these questions but i'm not here to get into twitter nonsense he's here to proceed and keep pushing
01:05but i don't know i can feel it happen
01:09give them a little bit of my guess
01:11my teammates over there is we've been locked in the whole season
01:15so we're not breaking that break practice today
01:19okay little little gargley on the sound there the follow-up question was okay but
01:23but was it but was it you well yeah no so he actually said so i'm not here to get
01:28into any
01:28twitter nonsense right right right and then at the end there said my teammates know what the deal is
01:33you know right right right right so he didn't even bother denying it because he's too he's too big for
01:37twitter stuff and twitter drama no no no no no no bro that's your brand right you know what you
01:43talk
01:44about how you're you're a god you dispense god-like advice on twitter that is your thing
01:51let's let's hear from duran so durant saying i'm not here for this twitter nonsense
01:55this is the same human being that was asked the question over the weekend at the all-star game
02:03which if you had to give up one twitter or video games this i guess it wasn't nonsense when he
02:09was
02:09asked this question if you had to give up twitter or video games which would it be if you could
02:13give
02:14up one thing for the rest of your life twitter or video games damn which one would it be
02:24damn i'm gonna twitter i'm gonna go twitter because they don't deserve it
02:30to to to to to hear this this god level like talk i'm giving to him they take it for
02:36granted
02:36because i'm already known yeah okay so so that was that was four days five days ago yeah but he's
02:45so so on on wednesday he's not here for this twitter nonsense but on saturday he sits and pauses
02:53and gives a thoughtful answer to a question that mind you is being asked of a 37 year old man
02:58which would you rather give up twitter or video games
03:04twitter or video brought in to really take him to the next level yeah this is this is this is
03:10the guy
03:13the guy that can come in and teach these young guys how to take life seriously yeah he was asked
03:18guys you gotta you gotta this is how you gotta portion out your burner account so he can't even
03:22do his burner accounts right no do you know how much more do you know how much more of an
03:26asset and
03:26resource the 22 year olds in that locker room are for how to manage yourself on social media yeah
03:31he's out there acting like a damn boomer yep he's like one he's like he might as well be gen
03:36x out
03:36there trying to navigate the the interwebs he doesn't know what the hell he's doing all right
03:40he's clueless so so he can't even manage his burner accounts right so no denial from durant
03:46um we know that when he says i'm not here for this twitter nonsense it's that that's bs because
03:51he's seriously answering twitter questions this past weekend here was email doka when he was asked
03:58about it yesterday yeah i mean i don't do social media and so um you hear here about the second
04:04but you know i don't really live in that world or comment on uh social media twitter or any of
04:10that
04:10and so don't pay much attention at all okay bro this is kind of a big deal for your team
04:15right now
04:15coach i i know you're not on social media but it would be that the your team is your your
04:23your lead
04:24guy is allegedly saying some really nasty things about some of the young guys on your team you i'm
04:30not saying go get a twitter account email doka i'm saying you need to get to the bottom of this
04:34and
04:34my feeling is seth that he did get to the bottom of it yeah and he's doing what kevin durant
04:39he's
04:39not email doka is not here for this twitter nonsense either i will appreciate the honesty and at least not
04:46lying about it and not issuing a fail a rafael palmero wagging finger in our face um but uh the
04:54the absence
04:55of any kind of denial at all it makes it hard especially because it's kevin durant who has this
05:00history of activity like this right including meeting his current co-host uh on his on his
05:05podcast right uh is that i've got that audio if you want it i've got one more piece just real
05:10quick
05:10it's a reminder a lot of people that have maybe refused to dig into this because it's all annoying
05:14and it was it sean and i were trying to be patient and wait until we felt we had more
05:18clarity on it
05:19but when we talk about things that he said about teammates this is just one of the things that this
05:23alleged account this alleged kd burner account said i can't trust jabari to make a bleeping shot or get
05:30a stop uh and then and then to follow after somebody said just don't give him a tech free
05:37throw to be honest uh and then he says he's okay our word uh like it just that's what he
05:44said about
05:45his teammates also said his teammate who by the way idolizes him right jabari jr has always been a
05:51big kevin durant guy because they're you know kind of he's trying to model his game after durant and
05:55then the other one was shangun uh what did he say can't play defense can't play defense can't shoot
05:59oh that's right yeah can't shoot vital two vital things in the sport of basketball two key things
06:04that uh we know alp has been trying to you know work on over the past couple of years well
06:07let's
06:07play uh the audio that you would tease in a second and then i've got a question for you about
06:11the
06:12reality of how this might affect i've got a pender poll for you to guess at as well so we'll
06:15do that
06:16um so here's kevin durant seth alluded to it my son brought this to my attention this is
06:21this is kevin durant announcing several years ago a new podcast venture that he has with a guy that
06:28he named eddie that he met on one of his one of kd's burner accounts and you got a podcast
06:34coming
06:34right yeah yeah just talking our talking talking our you know um got it coming in a couple weeks
06:41hopefully it take off but you know just just having a regular conversation uh who are you doing
06:46to it my boy eddie eddie gonzalez just actually just dude i met off one of my burner accounts
06:52actually so according to my son this eddie guy has become part of durant's inner circle
07:07yeah and there's two things here two things one there's an admission that he has if you're wondering
07:13like he didn't he's never even said he has burner accounts there's an admission he has burner
07:16accounts number one number two i guess according to my son sammy at least yeah has become part of
07:22durant's inner circle and apparently eddie was getting peppered with questions about yeah get
07:26higher 77 this alleged durant burner account over the weekend uh-huh and he wasn't denying it either
07:32he was also issuing non-denials right right right right that's great uh the only other thing about it
07:37that i could see is that kevin durant is trying to be again a super adolescent about this and
07:44loves the attention very meta about it and he's just kind of trolling everybody with uh with these
07:50non-denials even though it's not true or something which is just as big as annoying right yeah yeah i'm
07:55gonna invite this distraction in etc etc all right so so one more one more here um this was nick
08:04right
08:05we played this yesterday and i think this is now that i think you and i are both in agreement
08:08that
08:08this is likely kevin durant i think this is kevin durant i think this burner account is him i there's
08:14an opportunity to deny it and he didn't do that um your your your hypothesis about possible trolling
08:21is certainly in play but i think the i think the favorite is that it's him yeah real quick let's
08:25just
08:25play do we feel do we feel this doom and gloom that nick wright was feeling earlier this week
08:30if it's real the talking on shingun and his current team is catastrophic this is so much
08:40bigger for kd than the previous america stuff yeah veteran presence a leader the final piece again if
08:48this is real it legitimately damages his team's chance of winning the championship do you feel
08:55which is a shame sorry nick it is a shame i agree with that part do you do you feel
08:59as do you feel
09:00as dire as nick um i'm trying to think about this if it were to happen in your personal life
09:05i mean
09:05uh people say bad stuff about people behind their backs all the time and sometimes it gets exposed
09:11and then those relationships are mended and then they go on this this might not be everything that
09:20he said there might not be something that kevin durant hasn't it might be something that he said
09:24to their faces at some point well he yelled he yelled at shingun on the court a week ago to
09:31start
09:31playing defense so i think yeah but at the very least though what has to come if you're gonna have
09:36a
09:36trust level or something kevin durant privately maybe has to talk to those guys and say you know
09:41what man i let my frustration get the better of me and i really shouldn't be talking that way yeah
09:47and and you try to mend the relationship and you can come out stronger before it sure they've got
09:52people with marriages where one of the spouses has done something ridiculously awful or maybe both of
09:57them it's just a horrible horrible marriage and then all of a sudden either through intervention from
10:02a clergy member or a psychologist or just their mom or something they they figure things out they
10:09grow up they mature and they get better so it could potentially damage it the hard part is i there's
10:15no part of the rockets over the last two months that's looked at all like a championship caliber
10:19team right so is this the thing that knocks them out of winning a championship no it doesn't make it
10:25that much harder to have a surprise push in the playoffs or fred van vliet comes back yeah then
10:30certainly it does but it could also be something that makes them stronger at a minimum it's one more
10:35thing to manage for email doka you know i mean like it's you know it's and it's and it's really
10:39it's not a it's got nothing to do with you know uh our offensive sets or not having a point
10:45guard
10:45or something like that this is chemistry type of stuff the only thing the thing that works with
10:49marriages is you've always got that driving force of either uh trying to do the best thing for the
10:54kids yeah uh not wanting to pay alimony uh the the law getting involved all of that you don't
11:00necessarily have that motivator in place here you don't you don't know i know about all those
11:05things um so uh so real quick seth this is an easy one what percentage of rocket fans do you
11:11think
11:13think that yes that is kevin durant on the burner accounts i think by now what time did you put
11:17the
11:17did you put that poll out before i put it at 209 p well i said now that we i
11:22said katie's now
11:23answered the question it was after the video came out yeah yeah i think uh i think 90 percent of
11:28people think it's his you're on the right side of the yes or no only only 73 percent oh i
11:34don't
11:34anything for that at all 73 percent say that zero things i mean it's a vast majority but it's not
11:39quite as i don't and i have zero problem having with us being cautious about waiting on this or
11:46anything yeah to start we were responsible it's just too easy to make a burner account that looks
11:51like somebody's burner account yeah and uh at this point though if i had to choose well let's treat
11:56this like a civil trial okay we don't need a we don't need 51 that the unreasonable doubt or anything
12:02yeah it's yep i think it's greater than 50 percent chance that this is his burner he loses the civil
12:07trial he can probably get off on a criminal trial yeah when it comes to talking about his burner account
12:12we're gonna have to talk about it the way we talk about oj and the murders right right he was
12:17found
12:17liable of murder liable of murdering the rocket's title chances your dad's a murderer well found liable
12:25of it i don't know if that gives him as much cred in prison or not yeah probably gets more
12:29cred from
12:29the heisman he does from the the actual debatable yeah found liable for murder
