Colin Sheridan: Kevin Durant's unseemly social spat with Michael Rapaport has real victims

Late last week, the Durant and actor Michael Rapaport became embroiled in a social media donnybrook that was equal parts funny, pathetic, and a sad reminder that social media is a conduit for more bad than good in all our lives

Kevin Durant of the Brooklyn Nets is a two-time NBA champion, two-time finals MVP, one of the most recognisable sports stars in America, and arguably amongst the best dozen or so basketball players that have ever played.

He’s 6 feet 10 inches tall, and crucially, 32 years old.
