Over the last year, Kevin Duran has turned into the quintessential bad boy. He has been ejected from games and is almost constantly getting T'd up.

Last Saturday in a game against Dallas, this side of his shone through again when he calmly walked up to a fan, presumably for a fist bump, but instead bent down courtside and asked him to "watch the f***ing game and shut the f*** up."

He apparently didn't like the heckling fan and took what could have just been a fist-bump or a pat on the back to something that it didn't have to be.

Reports later confirmed that the fans were saying nothing out of line, and that Durant's outburst was one step too far. Further, the Warriors, who are currently worried about the collapse of their dynasty, were charged a fine of $25,000.
