In the latest episode of his “Unguarded” podcast, VanVleet was asked about the role Durant’s alleged burner accounts played in the Rockets’ unceremonious end to the 2025-26 campaign. VanVleet kept things cryptic at first, claiming “lies” were “more appealing than the truth.” The Rockets guard then spoke about the “curse” Durant carries. “I think that the gift and the curse with KD is that he’s so open,” VanVleet said of Durant.
“He’s so authentic and he’s so approachable, and he’s so him that it leaves room for the f–king clowns to jump in and add their own twist on the s–t, and then if he doesn’t come out and directly say no or go against that, which is what they want. There’s just so much room for like clickbait farming and s–t like that when it comes to him. He makes it easy for that.”
