Don’t worry Wiz fans, KD hears everything
Now for the avid NBA viewers, you’re probably familiar with the countless trade transactions, rumors and stunts being pulled this year around the whole organization. If your not familiar, Kevin Durant’s contract is up in two years and since the beginning of the season he’s been the talk of the league due to the possibility of going home to play for the Wizards. Now, with the idea of him leaving OKC looming over his head and fans as well, it seems his mom had some words to say about the situation.
As told by NBC 4′s Jason Pugh, Wanda Pratt had this to say about the ” talk” revolving her son and future:
“He hears the talk. And we all hear it. But he doesn’t allow himself to be overly concerned with that, because the time is not now for … him to make that decision. So right now he’s just focused on this year. He [and Russell Westbrook] have been out injured, and so they’re having a difficult season right now. I think they’re just at .500. And so they’re focusing on trying to get to the playoffs now, so he’s not focusing on [free agency] right now.”
Still, the diehard #KD2DC folks won’t be dissuaded by Pratt’s interview. She talked lovingly about Washington, saying “This is home. I love the DMV. There’s no place like it.” And she said she likes the home team as well.
“Well, I root for the Wizards when they’re not playing my son, of course,” she said. “I think the Wizards are doing great, but [Wednesday] they’re gonna have a difficult time playing my son and his teammates, how about that?”
Now these words could be seen as a shining light in a dark tunnel for Wizards fans, but then again, there is no reason to get overly excited seeing that the time for the decision is years away. Be sure to catch the game tonight as the Wizards take on the Thunder in Washington, DC on ESPN at 8:00 PM (ET).
Drew will continue to use the hashtag #KD2DC solely because he wants to see KD play for the hometeam. Talk sports, music and why DMV has the best ball players with Drew on twitter @AndrewSomuah
