The Oklahoma City Thunder are a team that really pride themselves on being a brotherhood of sorts, you see it on and off the court. Remember that KD documentary? Watching him, Russell Westbrook and the (Durant’s) squad train during the summer, you can tell it’s a brotherhood and no matter how many people come and go, they will still have that bond. It’s cool to see.
So when you hear that 10 OKC players are spending a week together training in LA, you completely get it.
“It was really cool,” said the president of the fraternity, fellow by the name of Kevin Durant. “It was fun, good to see everybody. Haven’t seen all the guys since the end of the season.”
Durant chatted on the phone for a few minutes Thursday about the off-season workouts he and his pals put together this week. Ten Thunder players are working out together in an old gym on the UCLA campus. Working on their games. Connecting and reconnecting with teammates and coaches, new and old….
“Feels like we’re coming in at the same time,” Durant said. “We always want that tight-knit family atmosphere. We’ve had that (in the past). It can always get better. This week was a step in the right direction for us. We all enjoy being around each other. That was the best part of it.”
The ‘tight-knit family atmosphere’ is cool. I wonder if the Sacramento Kings have that ‘tight-knit family atmosphere’? Or maybe the Los Angeles Lakers. Kobe is definitely the disappointed dad in that’ family’.
