Kevin Durant didn’t even have to play in Game 2 of the Western Conference finals on Thursday to get some attention online.
A shot of Durant reading a stat sheet in the hallway at Oracle Arena after the Golden State Warriors’ 114-111 win over the Portland Trail Blazers received some attention on Twitter. The funny photo led to plenty of captions:

There has been all sorts of talk that Durant will be signing with the Knicks during the summer. The Warriors playing so well in the playoffs without him may make it easier on all parties if he leaves.
