Kind of awesome
Who do you pick? Kevin Durant. Duh. The Oklahoma City Thunder star has a reputation for being Mr. Nice Guy off the court, so the partnership makes a lot of sense.

So what if the bag was more fashion than function; it was opening night, and that means celebrating. Talk to any Thunder fan for the past five seasons — every game […]

It’s time for D-Wade to ‘pass the torch’
Kevin Durant and Dwayne Wade are no strangers to these cyber-squabbles, with Durant telling CineSport that former teammate James Harden should have been in Sports Illustrated’s Top 10 players list instead of Wade.

Stay positive

Positive, always positive for me,” Westbrook said during Thunder media day on Sept. 27. “I think through the process of rehab, you […]
