As we know here in Seattle our NBA team that was here for 41 years the Seattle Sonics left for OKC in 2008 and when they left a real young skinny kid named Kevin Durant left two. And we had to watch from a distance to see “KD” grow as a NBA star. And man is he a star and he still only 24 years old.

“KD” is a three time scoring champ already and he is seen in commercials all over TV so he is what you call a NBA super star. And you never hear anything negative regarding “KD” He ain’t at the clubs at 2am (if their is a club in Oklahoma City) he is never in the news for negative stuff. He is a perfect role model for young kids.

And we found out here in Seattle at Seattle native and NBA player Jamal Crawford’s Summer Pro-Am League that Kevin is a VERY popular dude who we sports fans and NBA fans miss. Durant played in Crawford’s game and scored 62 points in 60 something shots who cares about the stats. “KD” was hoopin again here in Seattle. It was clear that basketball fans really miss “KD” here in Seattle. We have watched Durant on TV getting better and better.

And it seems Durant really really misses Seattle too. Man if we can only get the NBA back to Seattle. Because I think Kevin would want to play here in Seattle again if the team was good. But again it was a great time here in Seattle for the Jamal Crawford Pro-Am. Washington Wizard player and Seattle resident Montell Webster made some highlight reel dunks and watched “KD” a lot of the game.

Of course Kevin made some vicious dunks to and the crowd cheered big time. Jamal did his crowd pleasing crossover moves and another NBA player from Seattle big Spencer Hawes had a good game as did former Husky Will Conroy. I am glad I went and I interviewed Hawes, Conroy and former Husky Tre Simmons after the game. Airing soon on “Music Inner City TV”/Sports Inner City Online”   Gordon Curvey
