Watch Kevin Durant, Danny Green, Kyle Lowry, and other NBA stars read mean tweets for Jimmy Kimmel
Golden State Warriors star Kevin Durant may have had to sit out his team's loss to the Toronto Raptors in Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday night, but he was first up in Jimmy Kimmel's latest collection of Mean Tweets. "That's a lot," he said, smiling, after reading a profanity-laced Twitter screed for Thursday's Kimmel Live. Raptors star Kawhi Leonard did not read a mean tweet, but guard Kyle Lowry — who scored seven points in Toronto's 118-109 win over the Warriors — did, as did Danny Green (11 points) and other NBA stars, past and present, plus team owner Steve Ballmer. Watch below — the last tweet response is a doozy. Peter Weber
