Kevin Durant is finally in a position to let his championship ring and NBA Finals MVP trophy do the talking for him, but the Golden State Warriors star must find it entertaining to engage his critics on social media.
Over the past several days, Durant has responded to dozens of trolls on Twitter. After staying off social media during much of the postseason, the first thing Durant did was respond to a DJ who said K.D. is not going to see any of his teammates again until training camp.
that's not true at all

That was only the beginning. Durant has fired back at numerous haters since then, and he seemed to be particularly bored on Sunday evening.

There’s much, much more on Durant’s Twitter timeline, including one lengthy argument with a woman who claims to know someone Durant slept with and tried to say the star forward has some strange fetishes.
You can understand why Durant is annoyed when even accounts like this one are taking shots at him, but he’s just giving trolls a thrill by responding to them. If that’s his idea of a good time, more power to him.
