Kevin Durant Mocks Thunder First NBA Title on Social Media

Kevin Durant recently trolled the Oklahoma City Thunder on social media following their 2025 NBA championship win, joking that it was "bout time they win one." This came ahead of the 2025-26 season opener, where Durant's Houston Rockets are set to face the Thunder during their championship banner-raising ceremony. Durant, who began his NBA career with the franchise before it relocated to Oklahoma City and later left in 2016 to join the Golden State Warriors, has been a polarizing figure due to his departure and subsequent championships with Golden State. Despite the provocative comment, Durant clarified it was lighthearted banter and encouraged fans to not take it too seriously. The Thunder's 2025 title marked their first since relocating from Seattle and was highlighted by star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's MVP season. Durant's remarks reignited discussions about legacy, team loyalty, and the lasting impact of his departure on fan sentiment.
