Early Saturday afternoon, KD put up a cell phone number on Twitter. It wasn’t a prank. He wasn’t messing with anyone. He simply wanted to text battle some fans.

Reader Matt tried it out and posted the results in the comments:

KD continues to amaze.. He released his phone number on twitter asking us to talk to him about football or just talk if we wanna.. The response was OVERWHELMING and it froze his main phone.. So he then said I have a better idea.. “message me your numbers, and i’ll text YOU from my 2nd phone”

Wondering if he really would, I sent him my cell # on twitter, with a message about his ‘Horns asking how they’re going to do.. and w/in about 3 minutes I check twitter again and he tweeted me “@xxxxxx textin u now”…

BAM… I get a text from a 405 #… “horns gonna win tonight n kick OU’s ass next week lol”… proceeded to respond “Hell yah! I’m an O-state grad so I hope so!” and then he asked how I was today and carried on a text convo with me for about 20 minutes..

I didn’t think my man-love for KD could go any higher (no homo)… But he went above and beyond anything I’ve ever seen before… Holy cow..

I could’ve gone without the OU part, but still, KD continues to amaze. On the court, and off.

When I saw this the first thing I thought was, this is flat out the coolest superstar athlete in all of sports. The second thing I thought was there is no way in hell that Kobe, Lebron or even Wade would ever do something like this. How did we get so lucky to get this guy?
By the way, I forgive him on that OU comment. I can't imagine living in Austin and having to hear about UT 365 days a year. The guy probably can't even watch any of the local media.

After predicting a Texas win today, I'm glad he picked them to beat OU next week.

Still, he's a cool dude. We should invite him to a DT meet-up.

He's given no reason to doubt, it's just so different from most that I can't help but give the idea some credence.

How old are you people?

I feel it was him. His typing was identical to his tweets. And the fact that before he texted, he tweeter to me and told me he was about to text me.

Just wow. Assuming this wasn't a marketing ploy and had random interns texting you, KD might be the coolest athlete in the world. I know, there's no reason to doubt him, I just can't get over a little lingering cynicism with anything NBA.

That's awesome.

That. Is. Awesome.

It was an awesome experience. We talked a little football, talked about how excited I was to see them play this season and how excited he was to get to play for us again!

It definitely made my day.

Thanks for the quote, Royce!
