Sonics rookie feeling his way through NBA
By Johnny Ludden, Yahoo! Sports
December 11, 2007
SEATTLE ? The final horn sounded, the players began to walk off the court and somewhere in between Kevin Durant transformed back into a 19-year-old kid. He bounced on his heels like an oversized pogo stick, thumped his chest and let out a loud whoop.
Durant didn't care how silly he looked, and it wouldn't have mattered even if he did. His impromptu dance came in front of an audience of one: his mother.
This celebration wasn?t born from a victory by Durant's Seattle SuperSonics. Those have been all too rare this season. No, on this late November afternoon, Durant hadn't even pulled on his jersey, instead parking himself in front of a large-screen TV at home to watch his Texas Longhorns run over the Tennessee Volunteers.
Some 3,000 miles across the country in New Jersey, Texas coach Rick Barnes walked into the Longhorns' locker room and flipped open his cell phone. Waiting for him was a congratulatory text message from Durant.

NBA life seems to agree with rookie Durant

Kevin Durant, left, has made a smooth transition to the NBA, averaging 19.9 points, best among rookies.
SEATTLE -- Kevin Durant used to be able to sit around with his family and watch movies on Christmas.
It was the one day in the middle of basketball season when he didn't have any practices, shootarounds, pregame scouting sessions or team meals to attend. Even last year as a college freshman at Texas, Durant was able to return home for Christmas and sit on his family's couch.
"We rarely got to hang out a lot because my mom worked and me and my brother went to school, then played ball, had practice and stuff like that," Durant said. "We just hung out."

That was the right pick, but Horford made it a lot closer than I ever thought it would be...

Simmons: Rooting for the underrated is overrated, unless its for Manny or Durant - ESPN The Magazine
I'd love to see Gary Danielson vs. Bill Simmons in a fight to the death to prove who's really the greatest person ever, Tim Tebow or Kevin Durant.

Durant is shooting lights out in the Rookie vs Sophs game. He has 35 points right now.
BTW, who the hell thought these jerseys actually looked good? They are horrible.

Please Enjoy This Vine Of Kevin Durant Rolling Around On His Scooter, Set To ‘Ridin’ Dirty’
So this is freakin’ depressing. Kevin Durant, one of the more likeable guys in the NBA, is rolling around on a scooter because of a leg injury. A leg injury that will likely keep him out for the first few months of the season.
To make everyone feel better, I remixed this sad moment with Chamillionaire’s “Ridin’ Dirty.”

Westbrook doesn't have his own thread so I'll put this hear:
He's a freak.
Edit: Four straight triple-doubles. First to do it since Jordan in '89. And three of those four (the last three) have consisted of 39, 40, and 49 points. Oh, and he can't shoot threes. Only 3/18. He's just such a freak athlete. Makes you sad what has happened to Rose.
