I miss Seattle a lot. It was my first city that I lived in on my own. It was a great city to play for. It was unfortunate for the fans what happened, but itโs time to move on. Iโm sure theyโve moved on. But in the back of my mind, I still have a thing for Seattle and always am going to remember what theyโve done for me.
Kevin DurantMy dream was to become a rec league coach. That's what I wanted to do. I wanted to stay home and help the kids out and be a coach.
Kevin DurantI've heard a few times, in three or four years, this league is going to be yours. I don't like that. Because I think I'm established now.

Kevin DurantIt's part of my game, getting to the free-throw line and being aggressive. If you say that I get superstar calls or I get babied by the refs, that's just taking away from how I play. That's disrespectful to me.
Kevin DurantWhen Russell was out, you stepped your game up for me, for the team. There were nights where you made me look way better than I am. You clean up so many of our mistakes, man, and we appreciate that. From everybody on the team, we appreciate that, man, and I thank you so much for giving me confidence when I didn't have it, for always being there when I wanted to talk to you, when I wanted to call, for arguing with me all the time, making me better, and realizing I'm not always right. Thank you, man. I appreciate you.
