On Wednesday, a Twitter user got into a debate on the platform about who was the better player between LeBron James and Stephen Curry. The user, who was on James’ side, tweeted the claim that Durant had carried Curry in both of Golden State’s championship years when they were together. The user also said that Curry needed another MVP and three All-Stars to get the job done, calling Curry a “trash mother f****r." 

Not long afterwards, the 11-time All-Star appeared to ‘like’ the tweet from his verified account. The user posted both screenshot and video proof of Durant’s ‘like of the post. Several NBA fans on social media were also stunned at the Nets star's activity on Twitter.

However, the funniest part was that the user did not even tag Durant, meaning that the former MVP was probably searching his own name on Twitter. Later in the day, when media personality Josiah Johnson tweeted a meme of how Steph Curry's mother, Sonya, might react to Steph's performance against the Sixers and his younger brother, Seth, Durant couldn't help but respond.
