Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Earlier today on Twitter, Durant and a fan were going back and forth about why offense is super important in the sport of basketball in what looks to be an educational conversation delivered back and forth.

There's a saying in team sports that offense put's people in the seats but defense wins you championships.

Durant was trying to tell fans on Twitter that the main objective when it comes to winning the game of basketball is to score more points than the other team. With that being the case, Durant was letting people know that offense is what wins you championships more than defense.
Fans took it as if Durant was saying you don’t need defense to win championships which got a lot of people direct messaging Durant back and forth all throughout the night.
Y’all problem is that when I say offense wins, u think I’m saying I hate defense.. https://t.co/5NPUb8zvMf

I personally find it cool when there is a hall-of-fame level player this active with fans on Twitter trying to speak the game to people. You can be certain, this isn’t the last time Durant is going to get into some type of debate like this.
