Kevin Durant made his debut for the Houston Rockets in the side's seasone opener against the OKC Thunder on Tuesday. It was a great game to start the season as both teams played with full intensity.
The game went to overtime two times before the Thunder claimed the win with a one difference (125-124). During the player introductions, Kevin Durant received boos from the fans present in the Paycom Centre.
However, during a post-game conversation, the Rockets' new star denied getting any negative energy from the fans of the team that drafted him.
"It's not real. I get so much love when I come here from all the fans. Walking onto the court or at the hotel. Walking around town every time I come here. It's so much love and respect," Durant said.
"People always tell me they appreciate my time here. I feel the same way (about them). That's part of the brand in OKC to boo me when my name gets introduced. I think it's all love."
Kevin Durant had a good time in his debut game, giving the fans a taste what he can do with this current Rockets squad. He ended the night with 23-points, nine-rebounds and three-assits.
