Kevin Durant & Paolo Banchero caught up postgame. Tonight was a big moment for Banchero, a Seattle kid who had seen KD play at a Seattle pro-am.

Banchero still sees KD as a Sonic.

More on this storyline
In a segment called “Spicy Questions: Truth or Drink,” where VanVleet had to indulge in Ibaka’s insect-infused drink whenever he declined to answer his questions, the Rockford native showed his loyalty to the team’s precocious star. The 33-year-old asked VanVleet whether he would trade Barnes for Durant straight up. Much to Ibaka’s chagrin, because VanVleet’s answer meant he now had to drink, the 28-year-old said he would keep Barnes. “I wouldn’t do it,” VanVleet said when asked if he would trade Barnes for Durant. “I told you, I’m a loyal guy; I’m not a trade guy.” -via Yahoo! / November 29, 2022
Monday was another one of those nights for Durant. The former MVP dropped 45 points on 19-of-24 shooting in a 109-102 win over the Orlando Magic, willing his team back to the .500 mark for the second time this season. Minutes after capping off his season-best performance, Durant was asked when he knows he is going to be in a next-level groove. “When I wake up,” he calmly replied. -via Clutch Points / November 29, 2022
When asked if he ever finds himself watching Kevin Durant in awe during such a performance, Kyrie Irving couldn’t help but say yes. “Oh yeah all the time,” Irving replied. “I think it’s a natural reaction when you’re seeing something special occur in front of you. You do your best to still be engaged but it’s hard not to just stare and just watch somebody that special and talented. We know what he’s capable of, but when he shows his talent tonight it’s definitely an honor to be a part of. Grateful to be his teammate.” -via Clutch Points / November 29, 2022
