Kevin Durant, a newly minted Golden State Warrior, will make his long awaited return to Oklahoma City tonight, months after spurning the team he helped put on the NBA map for the superteam experiment in Oakland. In anticipation of the oh so rational Thunder fans, who burnt his jersey when the signing was announced last summer, Durant has hired extra security for tonight’s game.
