After 10 years in the NBA, Kevin Durant has finally won an NBA championship.

Durant signed with the Golden State Warriors this past off-season, which sparked widespread debate across the NBA about whether he was taking the easy route to a title.

While some were happy to see Durant claim that elusive ring, the Twitterverse was pretty savage towards the former Oklahoma City Thunder star.

Here are some of the best Durant-related tweets.

To me, Kevin Durant is like Kim Kardashian. I don't care how successful you are right now, I will ALWAYS remember what you did to get there.
