Thunder fan petitions to have name of Oklahoma town changed from Durant to Westbrook

Oklahoma City Thunder fans were understandably upset when Kevin Durant announced his decision to sign with the Golden State Warriors on July 4, going so far as to even burn his jersey.

One fan, though, decided to take even more drastic action this week. Ryan Nazari of Edmond, Oklahoma created a Change.org petition asking for 1,000 online signatures to try and get the city of Durant, OK changed to Westbrook, OK in honor of guard Russell Westbrook, who signed a contract extension with the Thunder earlier this month.
