Kevin Durant

Memorial Day weekend 2016 is one that will live in infamy for Oklahoma City fans as it was the weekend their NBA Finals dreams died and their savior may have played his final games in a Thunder uniform.

Well, this didn’t take long.

Talked ourselves out of it. Then back into it. Then out of it again. Would the Spurs really swing for the fences in [...]

File this tidbit in the oddball file, but Kevin Durant told Wall Street Journal reporter Chris Herring he manipulates his height based on the context and audience. [tweet https://twitter.com/espn/status/727906917540990977] Durant is actually 6’11” even though he is listed as 6’9″ on game programs and on NBA.com. This apparently is because 6’9″ is an ideal height [...]

Hello again, from the Kevin Durant free-agency rumor mill! Though the Oklahoma City Thunder have yet to be eliminated from the postseason, speculation on Durant’s free agency won’t wait for the offseason. Apparently, if he leaves the Oklahoma City Thunder, he already has a few other places in mind, according to Frank Isola of the [...]
