Kevin Durant Playfully Jabs Thunder Fan About Long-Awaited NBA Championship Win

Fans were eager to discover the sentiments of reigning NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder regarding the celebration of a championship banner when it was revealed they would face the Houston Rockets and star forward Kevin Durant in the 2025–26 season opener. Instead of offering a considered reply, Durant opted to jest with the fan who posed the question on social media: "Finally. It’s been 10 years, bout time they win one lmaooo" — Kevin Durant (@KDTrey5) August 10, 2025. Durant initially began his journey with the Thunder before his notable transition to the Golden State Warriors, where he secured back-to-back NBA titles—still his sole championships to date. Despite his playful banter, Durant likely felt a sense of joy seeing Oklahoma City triumph by overcoming the Indiana Pacers in a thrilling seven-game series. Following an exceptional regular season, concluding with a record of 68-14, the Thunder became the second-youngest team in NBA history to claim the championship, marking their first title since the Seattle Supersonics in 1979.
