The timing of this viral hoax coincides with real basketball news, as Clark recently returned from a five-game absence to lead the Indiana Fever to an impressive victory over the previously undefeated New York Liberty. Meanwhile, Durant’s Phoenix Suns failed to make the playoffs with a disappointing 36-46 record, fueling speculation about the two-time NBA champion’s future and potential trade possibilities.
Fans Seemingly Duped By Fake Kevin Durant Post
A viral post allegedly showing NBA star Kevin Durant shooting his shot at WNBA player Caitlin Clark has generated significant buzz across social media platforms. The post, which originated from a parody account, has fooled numerous fans who thought the interaction was genuine.
Comment sections filled quickly with reactions ranging from surprise to amusement:
- “Is Easy money sniper Kevin Durant?”
- “This real?? 😂😂”
- “Shooters shoot”
- “Man cannot keep out the DMs”
Many fans appeared to take the fabricated interaction at face value, with some making references to Durant’s famous wingspan while others suggested he should pursue someone closer to his age. The 36-year-old Phoenix Suns forward has become a frequent target for parody accounts that create fictional scenarios.
This isn’t the first time Durant has been the subject of viral parody posts. Recently, another fake quote circulated claiming to explain why Durant remains single, generating thousands of comments and reposts from people who didn’t recognize it as satire.
While Durant is known for his active social media presence, there’s no evidence of any actual interaction between him and Clark in this instance.
