If you think fans are insane in person then think about how bonkers they get online. The Internet makes everyone crazier and there's not much worse than getting sucked into the blackhole of internet debate and burning a day arguing with a troll. They whine about everything from video games, to politics, to celebrity beach bodies. So of course the NBA is going to have their share.
You're never going to sell anything to a troll so if someone says something obnoxious online it may be best to ignore rather than taking 10 minutes to create an account (for one comment) and then permanently get your gmail hounded by spam. If ignoring is not an option, then it may be best to make one snide comment and move on instead of giving that troll a day of your life trading barbs back and forth and impressing absolutely nobody. Let a picture do the talking for you. If it says 1,000 words then you'll save a lot of time and effort by posting a photographed message and bailing. In order words, let these do the talking for you. Here's The Perfect GIF and Photo Reponses for NBA Trash Talking.

Prelude to World War III.
LeBron is better than Kobe.
A San Antonio fan mocks LeBron's hairline.
Malone, Stockton, Barkley, Ewing, etc. are overrated because they never won a ring.
Houston Rockets fan brags about signing Dwight Howard.
Rock blocked.
Rockets fan brags about signing Dwight Howard - Part 2.
Anthony Davis is the future of the Pelicans.
Phil Jackson is no Red Auerbach.
Kobe is washed up.
When a troll is bugging you so much you have no choice but to block.
A Clippers fan won't stop running his mouth because he's been waiting forever to talk down to Lakers fans.
Of course, here's the response to that.
The Miami Heat are badass.
A poster makes fun of Chris Bosh for (insert any number of reasons).
Boston's a "tough" town.
The jester swats the King.
A LeBron stan won't shut up.
Knicks fans who swore Melo and STAT would lead the team to a championship (Yes, we're aware Nate never teamed with them, but the message is still valid).
A commenter rants about how much he hates David Stern.
A Jordan stan blindly thinks that everything MJ does is great (Hitler moustache version).
In contrast, Kobe and LeBron stans wonder what all the Jordan fuss is about.
Response to: Kobe/LeBron stans.
Not that the man needs anymore defenders. But a quick reminder why we still talk about a guy who hasn't played in over a decade.
