Kevin Durant called me ‘P-word,’ ‘broke boy’ over social media criticisms: Jason McIntyre
Kevin Durant has never been shy about clapping back at his critics on social media, and he was back doing it again this week.nypost.com
"Steph Curry doesn't give a rat's ass what these guys on the internet are saying."
Steph was not a good contrast choice here-- He named himself the Petty King!
Steph's halftime Twitter lurking spawned ‘Petty King' persona
Steph Curry sees everything, and after struggling in the first half of games, he would pull out his phone and read the takes on Twitter at halftime.

Longtime teammate Andre Iguodala revealed on an earlier episode with Redick that Curry used to be on his phone during halftime of games, to which Steph confirmed and disclosed that he was reading what people on Twitter had to say about him after poor shooting performances in the first half.
"I started that during that run, yeah," Curry admitted. "Andrew Bogut was kind of the first one to call me out on it. It was funny because he actually was bold enough to ask me 'what are you looking at right now?' I'm like on my phone.
"I was looking at Twitter and looking at ... It wasn't hateful messages, but real strong opinions on how you're playing and all that. We called it 'First Quarter Twitter,' it's the best thing in the world ... you kind of get off on that, so I enjoy it."
I called KD "Slim Sensitive" the night he did all this stuff but the truth is he is not distinctly sensitive or hyper-aware at all, by comparison to his peers. It's just the way he chooses to deal with it that is very very different from any other star on his level.
