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
