Kevin Durant Has Arrived

With one of the worst records in the NBA during the 2008-2009 season, the Thunder weren’t exactly one of the NBA’s more exciting teams. Still, fans came to watch them in droves, and only ten other teams had higher attendance marks than the Thunder did last year.

Part of the reason for this is because expectations are high in Oklahoma City, as many believe good things are in store for this team. Thunder fans were also happy to finally have an NBA team in town, embracing them every chance they could get.

Having formerly been the Sonics in Seattle, the basketball lovers in Seattle are still mourning the loss of their Sonics, but they may have to wait a while before they’ll get another NBA franchise. As for fans in Oklahoma City, they’ll be happy to have their Thunder, good or bad.

In Oklahoma City, fans are happy because of the presence of Kevin Durant. This is a player with all of the tools to be a top-3 player in the league, and he’s definitely headed down that path if his past two seasons are any indicator.

The Thunder won’t likely finish with a winning record in 09-10, but they’ll definitely rely on Kevin Durant as a source of winning games. He’ll be the team’s leading scorer, and might even be the top scorer in all of basketball.

Durant is the hope of this franchise, and the team’s success will definitely depend on his effectiveness. A very young basketball player, his best days are ahead of him, making things exciting for Thunder fans.

However, he’s not the only source of talent in Oklahoma City. Jeff Green and Russell Westbrook are two fine players and could easily contribute to a young core full of talented players.

Thunder fans should enjoy Kevin Durant and his scoring ability. Even if the team has another bad season record wise – Durant should give ESPN many top ten plays.
