July 4th, 2016, was a day that OKC Thunder fans would remember in infamy. Not only was this supposed to be a day of excitement for the celebration of Independence Day. It was to be the day that Kevin Durant re-upped with the OKC Thunder.
Ultimately we all know how this scenario played out. Durant left for the team that OKC blew a 3-1 lead against in the playoffs, a club that won 73 games that year in Golden State.
