Kevin Durant : I WANTED TO PLAY FOR THE RAPTORS

[gotoHcarolina52]

This man is pure. He wanted to put a franchise on the map that never won anything and turn them into a champion.

Was there something to read? All I'm saying is that Durant is obviously venting frustration with not being the franchise centerpiece and have to split shot distribution with Westy. He could average 50 points per game if he were alone on the Raptors...

Yes there's something to read - the link in the OP. If you can't or don't want to read that, at least watch the interview before trying to jam your anti-Westbrook talking point into the conversation.
Patrick directly asks him "Who did you want to play for growing up" and he says he was a Raptor fan. It hasn't nothing to do with frustration or venting or being unhappy - he honestly answered a question about which team he liked as a kid.
Nothing to do with Westbrook - which you'd know if you actually read or watched instead of just leaping at any chance to bash a guy you don't like.

Okc is small city but can you imagine if Durant played for Toronto. Wow they could fill out every night in a stadium of 60,000 fans .. Cha Ching

Can't have a Durant thread without including Westbrook

Kind of surprised he would say that about the Raptors, but it is what it is.

So much for the no one wants to play in Canada.

[Chill_Will_24]

He grew up a fan cause of VC. It's not a slight towards OKC. Just shows that he was a fan of a certain team growing up.

I hope the Rock gets his *** whooped. No because i dislike the Rock because he is awesome but because CM Punk is better. CM Punk over Rock would cement him in the WWE. The Rock winning the title and then vacating it just seems so blah

[JordansBulls]

It's funny how you'll do almost anything to slight Lebron.

In what way does this have to do with Lebron at all? We are talking about Durant a real "G".

It'll actually mean something if he actually does it.

Lol way to stay on topic. But yeah, i'm just looking forward to a good match more than anything.

Maybe if they played at the Rogers Centre... ACC is nowhere near big enough to fit even half of your 60,000

And as for what KD said... nothing to see here... he answered a question about his childhood and the only reason he liked the team was because VC was exciting to watch. It has nothing to do with wanting to play for Toronto now nor does it have anything to do with wanting to leave OKC

No, YOU can't have a Durant thread without trolling about Wesbrook. Everyone else is doing just fine without it, talking about the actual topic. You and I are literally the only posters who've mentioned Westbrook in this thread.
