Kevin Durant Is Getting Shredded By Thunder Fans During His Return To Oklahoma City

Well, here we go. It’s no surprise that Oklahoma City fans were going to make Chesapeake Energy Arena as hostile as possible during Kevin Durant‘s first game in their building since he joined the Warriors. We got our first taste of that when Durant came out to shoot around before tip off and was met with a swarm of boos.

But prior to that, the people of Oklahoma City made sure to get their points across to Durant before he even arrived at the arena. Most notably, there was a human being dressed like a cupcake with Durant’s number and the Warriors’ logo on it.

This can best be explained by an Instagram post Russell Westbrook made after Durant decided to head out west. Westbrook posted a plate of cupcakes, and according to Sports Illustrated, “When Kendrick Perkins played center for the Thunder, he called teammates ‘cupcake’ if he thought they were acting a little soft. Westbrook and Durant adopted the term in jest.”

Additionally, here is this person with a gigantic cupcake painted onto his torso.

Other Thunder fans decided to use Durant’s own words against him, as they made massive signs that included KD’s old tweets criticizing super teams.

While there is no chance on earth these people make it into the stadium like this, some fans brought snakes to the game.

You know how restaurants can decided to not serve people if they don’t want? One steakhouse in Oklahoma City straight up told Durant he could not dine there, according to USA Today. Although to be fair, it’s not because they hate Durant or anything, at least not according to the steakhouse’s owner, Dave Osborn.

“We thought about it,” Osborn told USA TODAY Sports while sitting inside his restaurant on Saturday afternoon. “But we were like, ‘No, a lot of our Thunder players and fans come in after the game.’ So we said no, and then 15 or 20 minutes later they called back.

“And he said, ‘Well, I talked to Kevin and he said that the Thunder players could come in if we booked out the restaurant.’ And we just said no again, because once again all the Thunder players come in and we don’t really want them to be upset. And in the long run, I think we lose business. We just wanted to stay true to our fans and our players and not book out the restaurant for one night.”

If all of this is any indication, it’s going to be an emotional night in Oklahoma City.
