Kevin Durant thrilled fans by responding to Olympics tweets absurdly early in the morning from Paris

KD deserves a gold medal for social media.

After one of the most exciting games in United States men’s basketball history, Kevin Durant was awake early in the morning.

The late Kobe Bryant, who was Durant’s teammate the 2012 London Olympics, used to discuss the importance of waking up early for early morning workouts. Durant obviously has his workout routine down to a science, but he also needed to be up early for other reasons.

Durant, who could potentially win MVP of the men’s basketball tournament at the 2024 Paris Olympics and recently broke Lisa Leslie’s all-time scoring record for Team USA at the Olympics, had an agenda.

He has stayed active on Twitter during his time as an Olympian in Paris, sharing a particularly classy message after he became the points leader. But nothing came close to his social media behavior on Friday morning while in France.

Despite riding high following the victory over Serbia, the two-time NBA Finals MVP couldn’t help but respond to some folks on Twitter who were discussing the thrilling semifinals match.

RELATED: I hope Kevin Durant never logs off. His posting truly inspires me.

No one who follows Durant on Twitter was surprised to see that he responded to basketball fans. He obviously loves to do that, even if the posts come from one of his “burner” accounts occasionally.

Durant used his own account for these replies, questioning all of the NBA fans from the United States who rooted for Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic on Serbia.

It was fairly standard stuff from Durant, but the fact he was posting these quote tweets around 5:00 a.m. from Paris was particularly amazing.

Everyone thought this was hilarious
