I have a friend in Austin, Texas who loved watching a spindly Kevin Durant dominate on the Longhorns and then for the Oklahoma City Thunder. His profound admiration for Kevin Durant, enthusiasm for pets, and out-of-college millennial instinct inspired him to buy a dog. He named her K.D. A few months later, Kevin Durant signed with the Warriors. I thought of the pup, and solicited my friend’s opinion regarding Durant’s decision. “Win or lose, K.D. is still a bitch,” he said.
While he was referencing his newly acquired mutt, his strong language represented the general sentiment among non-Warriors fans after the Durant acquisition.
