Looking forward to seeing if KD can help the Rockets get back to the Finals.  Good article about him… interesting there are so many longhorn connections on this team!

Durant's comfort and familiarity extend beyond the ties with Udoka, who enters his third season at the helm in Houston. University of Texas teammate and close friend Dexter Pittman works on the Rockets' staff as an intern, and former Longhorn teammate D.J. Augustin holds a role in the front office.

Durant's close friend Royal Ivey, who also played at Texas and was Durant's teammate on the Thunder, is a Rockets assistant.

The Rockets are also expected to start 4 players who are 6’11 with 6’7 Amen Thompson at PG. Come a long way from starting PJ Tucker at center lol

Looks like Sean Miller is working towards this kind of lineup too haha 

So much nostalgia rn…

Rockets losing PG VanVleet to ACL did them in ... unless they can make a trade. 

Bad luck, because they had the pieces to truly challenge. 

Liked Durant in college and will root for him in Houston but couldnt stand he left okc to join the warriors that was a soft LeBron move.

This one is for @CJ Vogel who was probably too young at the time to recognize the truth.

Picking the Warriors I think had more to do with pressure from his shoe contract...He was not appreciated in OKC, so although I wish he had stayed, I do understand him looking to go somewhere else (it is Oklahoma as well)...
