Kevin Durant played in a pro-am game in Seattle on Sunday, and scored 63 points in 62 shots. And when I say he played, I mean he basically played the entire game, missing just a mere 15 seconds of the total 51 minutes. KD jumped at the chance to return to Seattle, where he started his NBA career. From an article on ESPN.com, Durant was ecstatic to be playing back where he started it all.

"I just want to say I miss you guys. Thank you for the warm welcome. I can’t wait to come back."

Fellow NBA player Jamaal Crawford has his own summer league where he sets up pro-am games. Sunday’s Seattle game was important to Kevin Durant, and according to ESPN, he got in contact with Crawford to try to make an appearance.

"He reached out to me to come perform before in front of you guys. He loves Seattle. He took his own jet. He spent a lot of money to come up here and perform in front of you guys."

This was Durant’s first showing in Seattle since the SuperSonics moved to Oklahoma City in 2008, so it was a big deal for the NBA superstar. I think it’s safe to say that his fans were excited to see him play in Seattle as well.
