The NBA has finally decided to take action against Kevin Durant for the homophobic and misogynistic insults he used in a private Instagram conversation with Michael Rapaport -- fining the guy $50,000.

"I receive threats and disgusting messages DAILY, but never in my wildest dreams did I think [Durant] would be among them," Rap said.

KD has said the messages were not supposed to see the light of day -- and said he was"sorry that people seen the language that I used."Durant has yet to publicly acknowledge that what he said is offensive -- or apologize specifically for the words he used.

Is it just me or is it crazy that these athletes can be fined like this and it’s nothing to them while people struggle?

DON'T DO NERVE BLOG THANKS ! If you know what im talkin ! If you don't know just dont dare and trip !

A private conversation, the key word 'private', Rapaport is just a little bitch

MichaelRapaport is a grade A bitch

Pocket change

Wow, what a disgusting way to speak 2 some1. It sickens me that some1 in the public eye, should be a positive influence 2 kids is defended even after his incredibly nasty comments. His RACIST & HOMOPHOBIC words SHOULDN'T BE ACCEPTABLE 2 ANYONE! If he was white would u be madder

Bout time someone shut that z level actor up MichaelRapaport

I do not condone, what happened between Michael and Kevin. Mike did make a weak move by going public with KD, DM message, to him. They, both had exchanges with emails.

Rappapoop is a punk. I’ve had run ins with him on FB. He whines like a punk after he stirs shit. 😂

50K is just garnish to this man

Omg, you sign your life over to the NBA

pocket change for him

This wasn’t on the court! Ridiculous!

50k fine is nothing. Justin Thomas loses sponsors when he uttered a slur but nothing happens to KD. Total bs!

No homo=80k fine in the nba. Just saying

If michael mentioned say dark and burnt in describing durant he would probably be cancelled and fired not just fined.

Kevin Durant is an awful homophobe and racist, deserves to be canceled.

Idk why he had to bring up the fact that Michael is white and pasty but it sure made me laugh.

Lol 50k ain't nothing to KD

His defence is that it was a private conversation and he never thought it would be heard by anyone else 😳 so he’s only a homophobic misogynist in private! Ok gotcha

his words were so VULGAR and DISGUSTING!!

Should be kicked out

GOOD 4 HIS DUMB ASS ...🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷

“Kevin Durant Fined $5 dollars by the NBA for ‘offensive Language’ in Michael Rapaport Spat”

Damn

They’re still trying to keep the black man down!

What...50k f*ck that! What happened to free speech?

This is normal the only double standard is nba doesnt hold all players accountable. Lebron comes to mind.

Imagine if a white man said racist and homophobic stuff....

so white people get fired and suspended and black get a slap on the wrist

Rappaport is just like Tekashi

Another league I won’t watch anymore

MichaelRapaport damn, why did you have to tell on a grown man lmao

How can you fine him for a PRIVATE spat that was made PUBLIC. TF 🤬

Double standard. You ever hear Rapaport beak off in any of his tweets. Would like to see that guy blacklisted.

Tip at strip club. The beating he give Rapaport will cost him more.

There goes his change

Durant gets a byline...but TMZ crawled into Justin Thomas's ass for much less of a transgression.

KDTrey5 is a cornball

Do you agree

So......you can't say shit anywhere

🤣

Shit is like $5 to him

Honestly, Let the man have freedom of speech
