Durant Found Wizards ‘Disrespectful’ in Last Years’ Visit

If Kevin Durant has his way, Tuesday night will be nothing more than a routine road game between his Oklahoma City Thunder and the Washington Wizards.

The in-your-face free agency recruiting that went on when he faced his hometown team last season will be nowhere in sight, with locals more focused on the players they have at present than the ones they hope to land in the future.

“(The Jan. 22 visit) was kind of disrespectful, in my opinion, because you’ve got a great team there already that deserves your full 100% support,” said Durant, who — among many other things — was featured on the Wizards’ jumbotron wearing a Washington jersey during the game. “I wouldn’t like that if I was on that team. I didn’t like that, but it comes with it nowadays.”
