Kevin Durant vs Michael Rapaport

[SlyPokerDog]

'You pale c***sucker': Nets star Kevin Durant unleashes vile, homophobic Instagram rant at actor Michael Rapaport, involves the diehard NBA fan's wife and threatens to SPIT on him

• Actor Michael Rapaport has revealed a private war of words with Kevin Durant over social media in which the Nets star used a string of homophobic slurs
• The Nets star referenced Rapaport's wife and threatened to spit on him while directing misogynistic and homophobic insults at the actor-turned-podcaster
• Durant poked fun at Rapaport's failed defamation lawsuit against Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy over a t-shirt depicting the 51-year-old with herpes
• Durant has apologized for the rant that Rapaport revealed in a series of screen grabs on Twitter. However, Durant also minimized the fight as just friendly banter
• Judging by the screen shots, the exchange appears to have started in December after Durant had an awkward post-game interview with TNT's Charles Barkley
• It is unclear if Durant could face any league punishment for the private exchange
• Durant and Rapaport previously had a friendly relationship and even made a light-hearted video in which Rapaport begs the two-time NBA champ for tickets

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I'm actually on team KD on this one.

[Haakzilla]

Fuck KD. /

 

[Natebishop3]

What is it with forwards from UofT being emo?

 

[Cugel]

You have to know that Rappaport gives as good as he gets. It's all a joke. Not one word of that is serious. Rappaport should have NEVER went public with private messages.

 

[Scalma]

Two assholes.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

I'm offended on behalf of pale, easily-sunburnt people everywhere.

 

[Pinwheel1]

HMM, what was worse Meyers or KD........in the minds of the PC police?
I think we all know that talent trumps stupidity.

 

[Strenuus]

Don't even know why this had to go public. I love Rapaport, but I don't know what he's doing or trying to accomplish here.

On that note, atypical is a great fucking show and you should watch it. He's great in it as is everyone else.

 

[Minstrel]

trumps stupidity.

No politics in this part of the forum!

 

[Natebishop3]

Does Rapaport still even act???

I really only remember him from the movie Metro with Eddie Murphy.

He played a great bad guy on Justified.

I was being sarcastic

 

[Propagandist]

I think it's crazy that anyone would defend KD on this (or anything). I can think of no player as petty in the history of the NBA. If this was say reversed and Michael Rapaport was uttering these homophobic and threatening things, can you imagine the blowback? KD is not a good person.

So, can we now send KD to Tel Aviv along with Meyers or what?
I got enough of this one sided bulshit.

Saw a kid at my son's cross country meet yesterday who looked just like Road Rage Paige, and it freaked me out a little bit...

Lmao. Love it. Sucks there's only gonna be one more season of it but I don't know how much further it could go.

 

[Haakzilla]

...some could argue he's been acting his whole life

 

[royo]

I first saw Rapaport in Higher Learning with Ice Cube. About black - white things. KD should watch it.

Didn't even know there was gonna be another. End of the third season felt like a pretty complete ending for the series to me.

I'm pretty sure an antisemitic term used for over a century and used during the holocaust is going to be looked at differently than a term that infers that a sex act with another male is a negative thing and the word bitch that is misogynistic. I think KD looks stupid and the NBA should come out and say that they don't condone his language but the terms KD used are not close to as hateful as the one that Meyers used.

Also it's absolutely crazy to think that when a superstar that makes the league hundreds of millions of dollars uses offensive language he would be out of the league but it is logical that a guy who barely plays and uses blatantly antisemitic language would be cut and for lack of a better word shunned. If Durant used the word that Meyers did he would probably get suspended multiple games and need to do some type of statement that he is going to educate himself about the holocaust, antisemitism and Jewish culture/history. Now the fact that Brooklyn has a demographic that includes 20% Jewish people might actually force a trade.

Bottom line, the word Meyers used is far more offensive to my Jewish friends than the insults slung by KD is to my gay friends.

 

[Minstrel]

Waiting for the tweet from an account named Kevin Smith saying something like, "I don't know anything about no KD but this Rapaport guy seems WACK and a little sus. We should ignore what he says."

 

[SIeepwalker]

KD must be the most sensitive NBA star ever. Ever more than Shaq
