Dear Oklahoma City,
There is no reason for us to be connected. But we are, and we will be forever. You can thank Kevin Durant for that.
I was 9 when I first watched KD play basketball. He immediately became my favorite player, college or professional. And then I read his first Sports Illustrated profile. The Texas Longhorn became my Messiah.
Now, I’m from Ohio. EVERYBODY loved LeBron James and the Cavs. No one understood how I could root for the Seattle SuperSonics his first season. Then Clayton Bennett moved the franchise to Oklahoma City.
