Kevin Durant on his return to Seattle: “It’s a basketball city”

It’s been over a decade since Kevin Durant played a game in Seattle. An April 13 of 2008, the then-SuperSonic Durant put up 19 points in a home game against the Dallas Mavericks. Three days later Durant was in Oracle Arena to play the Golden State Warriors in the final game of his rookie campaign - and the final game the SuperSonics would play.

The organization moved after that year, and became the Oklahoma City Thunder. And now, on Friday, Durant will return to his original NBA city, as the Warriors play the Sacramento Kings in a preseason matchup at KeyArena, former home of the SuperSonics.
