Kevin Durant: Kevin Durant (foot) ‘ready to go’ for Thunder

He has a great team out there in Oklahoma City with Russell and those guys. I never look for stuff like that. We need to celebrate these people but Kobe is in such a rare class I hope his celebration doesn’t take away from the performer he strives to be even in his final year at it.

“I love it here, man. I love my teammates, I love the city, I don’t really think about anywhere else”, Durant told Revolt TV in a recent interview.

His official title is deputy publisher.

LAKERS: Beyond beginning to develop a minutes limit for Bryant in his return from shoulder surgery, coach Byron Scott welcomes No. 2 pick D’Angelo Russell and offseason addition Roy Hibbert, and brings back Julius Randle after he broke his leg in last year’s season opener.

“I’m excited to see how everybody assimilates and incorporates, and how we come together as a team because as I said, I’ll be disappointed if our competitive maturity of understanding the little things that add up”. “But sometimes our message isn’t portrayed the way we want it to”.

“We’re not going to bury our heads in the sand and pretend that that’s not going to be in the air, but I think again we’d be pretty inconsistent”. Obviously those are areas that the Thunder organization will always focus on as long as Presti is running the show, but “the process” Presti mentions in this particular instance is much narrower than in years past. They shared part of their adventures with photos via social media.

“That’s something I can’t control”, he said. “He’s a very unique guy”.

Collison has become a mentor of sorts to Adams, the free-spirited, 22-year-old New Zealander.

Durant was asked if he had any words of encouragement for Texas football coach Charlie Strong and the Longhorns after their 30-27 loss to OSU on Saturday.

“That’s a low blow, man”, Durant said, with the media room crowd breaking into laughter. Durant’s owners are drafting him at a discount because of his foot injury last season, but that line of thinking is only supported if you believe in Durant’s recovery and that he’s now 100 percent healthy.

“I’m a fan no matter what”, Durant said after the laughter died down. The new uniform pairs the team’s most vibrant colors together, with “OKC” in navy block lettering on the front and navy paneling on each side.
