There’s a new Westbrook in town. His name is Noah and he looks just like his dad. Kevin Durant, assisted by his mother, showered Russell’s son with baby gifts. Very nice gesture and maybe almost one year after Durant’s departure maybe these two will resume their friendship. Time usually heals and one would hope the booing of Durant never happens again in OKC.
In the year which passed, Kevin won a ring and a Finals’ MVP, while Russ broke Oscar’s triple double record and will probably win the regular season MVP on June 26th. All told, they both had incredible seasons.
As a basketball fan, I’m still hopeful Kevin doesn’t stay in Oakland and perhaps goes to a place like Boston to win another ring in a more legitimate setting. I just think it would be better for the league and the sport as a whole. Plus, I think it would be the final piece to Durant’s incredible legacy.
The NBA draft is tomorrow night. The Thunder have the 21st pick. I have no idea who the Thunder will select. A nice two-way wing would be nice.
