Kevin Durant returning to Oklahoma City is the biggest story in sports right now. ESPN has already announced that it will be airing Rachel Nichols’ show “The Jump”, the pregame show “NBA Countdown” and three live episodes of SportsCenter from Oklahoma City on Friday and Saturday.
The world is watching as Thunder fans everywhere are sitting anxiously, hoping for one magical night that might rid us of the lingering pain of Durant’s departure. Pain may seem like a strong word since we are after-all, talking about a professional basketball player relocating jobs.
It feels appropriate though, because Kevin Durant is not any basketball player and Oklahoma City is not just any city.
