Michael Irvin reacts to his photo being used in Kevin Durant burner
Michael Irvin didn’t understand how he got involved in the Kevin Durant burner controversy. The Pro Football Hall of Famer discovered that his photo was used on a Durant burner account to make a point about Stephen Curry.
“Kevin Durant even uses my picture to talk about one of the greatest players to ever hoist up a basketball,” Irvin said on his YouTube channel. “Why you got to use my image to make that point? You know what I’m saying?”
The photo shows Irvin having a stunned look while the account was talking about Curry. Irvin said he was “chilling in Puerto Rico” before learning about the photo.
“My peeps sent me this. I’m over here trying to recover. My peeps sent me this. I said, ‘What the heli? What the heli? What is that? What is it?’ Let me read this to you. What Kevin Durant said on allegedly one of his burner accounts,” Irvin said, per Burtland Dixon of Heavy.
