Curry Fan Outrage: Durant's Friend Sparks Firestorm
30 Nov
Summary
- Durant's friend criticized Steph Curry on social media.
- The post claimed Curry is coddled and overhyped.
- Fans responded with angry messages to Durant's associate.
Eddie Gonzalez, a close associate of Kevin Durant and co-host of 'The ETCs' podcast, has drawn the ire of Golden State Warriors fans. Gonzalez shared a social media post highlighting players' career-best performances against Steph Curry, accompanied by critical remarks about Curry's perceived preferential treatment and "big boy" status.
The backlash was swift, with numerous fans directing angry messages to Gonzalez. He subsequently shared these direct messages, seemingly unfazed by the controversy. In a public tweet, Gonzalez downplayed the fervor, advising critics to find hobbies rather than engaging in online disputes over a player who doesn't know them.
Gonzalez, a social media personality, has a significant following and is deeply integrated into the basketball media landscape through his work with Durant and his media company, Boardroom. Meanwhile, Kevin Durant himself has been absent from recent Rockets games, though his status for an upcoming game remained uncertain.
