just announced it via his twitter account. good for him and i pray he continues to have a great career

DC, can you make a single post without slamming Lebron or Dirk?

by the way, KD is showing you how to act with class when it comes to contract decisions...

no need for press conferences in prime time

hell, KD waived his player option for the 5th year, showing he truly wants to stay in OKC

Kevin Durant wont win anything until he stops hogging the ball and learns to play defense.

So.. never.

did the extension include provisions for playing defense?

His defense improved dramatically during the second half of last season. See the job he did on Kobe during Game 3 of that first round. His length on defense is going to be a problem for opponents once he starts to buckle down consistently.

If the Pacers don't get their stadium deal done soon and head West, there's a chance that OKC could be in the Southwest division in a few years.

Alert the presses

Durant aka "The Postal Worker": He shows up in a uniform and opens fire indiscriminately.

Good for KD and good for the NBA. This is the kind of thing that sells to fans like me; players making a commitment to a team and not to their personal "franchise" or their ego.

Doesn't hurt that, by all accounts, he's a gym rat that is desperate to improve his game and his workout every offseason.

Big fan of the kid even if he is a tsip!

bunch of haters (jealous haters) on this thread. As much as I loved to jealously poke fun at KD while he was at Texas (deservedly), now as a OKC resident and Thunder fan the dude is impossible to not like. The guy is sitting on the bench watching and helping coach OKC's summer league team. How many other superstars do you see doing that? All this guy cares about in life is basketball, period.

Exactly Padz....

Stan Van Gundy said as much about him being there for his team in Orlando. KD is all about family, team and improving. If you follow him just a little you will see those are the things he talks about all the time.

The national media is catching on, too. Simmons and Adande both have written that KD could be the most important signing this summer.
