Warriors Make A Big Splash In Seattle

In yesterday’s game against the Sacramento Kings, the Golden State Warriors came up with the win. It was a star-studded event as well as the place Kevin Durant debuted in his NBA career as a rookie. It was exciting to see the love shown to Durant and the Warriors. He began his career as a rookie with the Seattle Supersonics and felt as if the fans were welcoming and still had plenty of love for him.

It’s been a decade since Seattle had an NBA team, at the conclusion of the 2007-2008 season the Sonics relocated to OKC and became the Thunder. Seattle fans anticipated the game with a fervor and appreciation. Durant wore a retro Shawn Kemp jersey in honor of his return to Seattle. Gary Payton was also present and sat at courtside as a spectator. Spencer Hawes is a native of Seattle and attended the ‘U Dub’ as a Husky before being drafted by the Sacramento Kings in 2007 draft. He was also a spectator in his old stomping grounds sporting a Space Needle tie. There were numerous feel-good moments and became more than a preseason NBA game.
