Golden State Warriors: Kevin Durant
I don’t know, but the unknown sucks.
Part of me would love to be around Kevin Durant for a while. His podcasts with Bill Simmons have been some of the most fun NBA listening I’ve had the joy of listening to. The ranking of fun NBA audio goes like this:
- Whenever Carlos Boozer would yell for no reason.
- The Fastbreak Breakfast clip of Jon yelling at his cat Norbert to get off the counter.
- Kevin Durant saying words to Bill Simmons.
- Me beating David Ramil at trivia on the Over and Back podcast.
It’s hard to say this is the type of Kevin Durant I would get, though. I do not have the social cache within NBA circles that Bill Simmons does, for whatever reason. I don’t think it’s my fault, but it’s true. I’d probably be considered as a fly on the wall, except a fly with a driver’s license. With so little notoriety, I feel like some of the darker Durant habits might leak out.
“What are you doing over there KD.”
“Nothing.”
“Is that Twitter? Are you on Twitter?”
“It isn’t me. Someone just happened to defend me and my decision to leave Oklahoma City and come to the Warriors, and I just happen to agree with him wholeheartedly.”
“Okay. How come there’s a delete button there? How come you can delete the tweet if you didn’t tweet it?”
“Probably a glitch or something.”
“What are you doing now. Are you tweeting about this conversation?”
“Like I said, it isn’t me.”
