Kevin Durant has a message for the critics. Scratch that — he has a lot of messages for a lot of critics.
Twitter was minding its own business Sunday when the Golden State Warriors forward (and now NBA champion) sent an innocuous tweet about Diana Taurasi becoming the WNBA’s all-time leading scorer.
Yep, DT gets buckets. Any way you want em

The usual trolls responded with cracks about how Durant bailed on the Oklahoma City Thunder last summer and took the easy way out by joining the Warriors’ superteam. But this time, KD fired back. At anyone and everyone.

His replies included a pretty lame play on words, too.
I really can't sleep at night but mainly because I've forced myself to STAY WOKE

But by far the weirdest exchange came with a Thunder fan who made a pretty ridiculous claim about Durant.
bruh really? The "fart in your face" comeback? You were doing so well.

By now you’re probably wondering: What the heck is Durant doing taking swipes at Twitter trolls on a Sunday night? Apparently the reason was simple: Boredom.

— Kevin Durant (@KDTrey5) June 19, 2017

— Kevin Durant (@KDTrey5) June 19, 2017
For the sake of pure entertainment, here’s hoping the WiFi kicks in on more of Durant’s flights in the future.
