Thunder fan starts petition to change Durant, OK to Westbrook, OK

One Oklahoman has taken action following the departure of Kevin Durant in free agency ... a potentially city-changing action.

How so? By petitioning Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin and Stewart Hoffman – the mayor of Durant, Oklahoma –to change the name of the city to Westbrook, Oklahoma, to highlight the Thunder's All-Star point guard.

Here's the link to the petition on change.org, which had more than 200 supporters as of mid-day Thursday.

And here's the message from Ryan Nazari of Edmond, who started the petition entitled "Change the name of the City of Durant, OK to Westbrook, OK":
