Kevin Durant

Michael Phelps continued to make history last night and blow everybody’s minds as the most decorated Olympian ever, taking home his record 20th and 21st gold medal of his career. Part of Team USA Basketball appeared to be in attendance to watch history being made including Kevin Durant, DeAndre Jordan, Draymond Green, Kyle Lowry and [...]

Will the Oklahoma City Thunder fans boo or cheer Kevin Durant when he returns to the Chesapeake Energy Arena for the first time as a member of the Golden State Warriors? We’ll have to wait until February to find out. From ESPN.com’s Marc Stein: The Oklahoma City Thunder are tentatively scheduled to play host to [...]

Things between Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant won’t be getting any less awkward any time soon. Durant, be it inadvertently or deliberately, drove a wedge between the two of them when he left the Oklahoma City Thunder for the Golden State Warriors in free agency. That chasm has now only grown in the wake of [...]

Russell Westbrook has been pretty quiet since Kevin Durant left for Golden State. Russ has never been a big social media guy, but we have never received any sort of reaction from him. Until today. On the heels of Russ agreeing to sign an extension with OKC, Russ faced the media to talk about the [...]

And while they ultimately left the contest [...]

Over the last 48 hours or so, there has been a lot of chatter about Kevin Durant specifically indicating to Russell Westbrook that he planned to re-sign with the Oklahoma City Thunder. But that apparently never happened. Royce Young of ESPN.com shed some clarity on the situation: There has been a lot of conversation about [...]

We never got the impression that Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook were best friends during their eight years as teammates in OKC, so they certainly aren’t that now. KD has said that he doesn’t think his relationship with Russ will ever be the same and he’s probably right. Especially since, reportedly, Durant recently told Westbrook [...]

Harrison Barnes seems like a class act. Though the Dallas Mavericks forward told The Undefeated’s Marc J. Spears that his decision to leave the Golden State Warriors was “more so made for me,” he does not sound bitter at the way things played out. He appears to understand, and is more inclined to reflect on [...]

Klay Thompson has still yet to show any concern over his role with the Golden State Warriors in the Kevin Durant era. Some might believe there’s an inevitability behind this stance. The Warriors signed Durant. They actually added a top-three player to a 73-win nucleus. There is no reason for Thompson to complain. But Thompson’s [...]
