Both Kevin Durant and LeBron James are probably two of the best players over 30 years oldin the current 2022-2023 NBA Season. That’s why it isn’t a surprisethat both of them drop every night at least 30 points for the Brooklyn Nets, and the Los Angeles Lakers.

However, sometimes fans are overboard when it comes the criticism about either their individual performance or the team’s. Other times, the players themselves take it as a way to grow, or to laugh about it. Especially when the critics come toplayers like these two,who are actually the best in their teams.

Now with social media, everyone can make a 30-second tweet about a player and sometimes those words get to the player himself. In this case, both LeBron James and Kevin Durant encountered a fan who possibly tried to mock the way they played, but failed.

One of many viral tweets on social media got to Durant. As he usually likes to be around Twitter, he shared his thoughts on the comment. ā€œThis how the old heads get you lol act like they tired and then make a move to the rim.ā€ said on the tweet. ā€œGreat tweetā€, Durant answered, and James replied. ā€œFactsā€.

Certainly these two players who are over 33 years old, aren’t the same as 10 years ago, but still is amazing how almost every night both of them drop 30 points against a fresh and young team. The difference is Kyrie Irving backs up Durant, while James isn’t backed up by Russell Westbrook, as Anthony Davis is currently injured.
