The Golden State Warriors are on top of the NBA world, and Kevin Durant is directly in the middle of the action. The 2017 NBA Finals MVP was incredible in his team’s victory over LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers, and at least to some degree, that performance has taken some heat off Durant’s decision to jump to the Warriors after leaving the Oklahoma City Thunder.
With that said, there is still a group of people who will never let Durant forget his choice, and citizens of Oklahoma City are chief among them. To that end, Oklahoma City’s official Instagram account fired a shot in Durant’s direction, and it came while promoting recycling to its residents. (h/t NewsOK.com)
The city’s account displays a “reminder” that magazines are recyclable, and it comes as no coincidence that the chosen example was the most recent issue of Sports Illustrated with Durant gracing the cover. In truth, this is a pretty fantastic dig from the city itself, even if it was only available via Instagram Stories.
It is exceedingly likely that Kevin Durant doesn’t care in the least about this perceived slight, but it does provide amusement for a wide swath of people who are still not very happy with him. At some point, the raw emotion of Durant’s exit will likely calm for Thunder fans, but until then, things like this will continue to pop up in various ways.
