The Oklahoma City Thunder will begin the 2025–26 season with a very special occasion: a ring ceremony and the raising of the banner for their 2025 NBA championship win.
This will be an even more intriguing game for fans, also because they will face the former face of the franchise, Kevin Durant, and the Houston Rockets in the season opener.
Although KD doesn’t have any hard feelings toward the Thunder, he took a shot at them on social media when asked about where his mindset would be during the season opener.
"Where will your mental be opening night when you watch the team that gave you everything raise a banner after you left them high and dry?" a fan asked on X.
"Finally. It’s been 10 years, ’bout time they win one lmaooo," KD replied.
