Kevin Durant Likes Family Atmosphere Of Boston

[JSD]

Kevin Durant was asked about the city of Boston ahead of Wednesday's game against the Celtics.

The Celtics will have maximum cap space available to sign Durant but they're considered a longshot.

“I like the city a lot,” said Durant. “It’s cold, but they love sports here. It’s a family atmosphere I feel when I walk around the city, so yeah, I like it a lot.”

Durant hasn't played a game in Boston since Nov. 23, 2012 due to various injuries over the past few seasons.

“It’s been a while, right?” he said. “Before this game, I was hoping everything goes well our last game so I can finally play here.

“It’s been three years since I played here, so I’m really looking forward to it. Some of the best fans in the world, and they definitely support their team, so I’m looking forward to it.”

I hope those who attended the game were in full recruiting mode!

Guys the way we played tonight, I seriously doubt KD considers us. Though, let's be honest: he likely never was going to consider us.

I good showing in the playoffs in a wide open East or what that lottery pick turns into will weigh far more than a short handed regular season performance.

I doubt he'll base his decision on one game.

Yea but still. This was embarrassing.

They'll bounce back.

For the sake of the season and our playoff goals and our offseason goals and free agency goals and long term future of the franchise, I hope you're right.

'Some of the best fans in the world...' He is either keen on coming or reads this blog.

He's actually considering it I think. Which is exciting, still doubt it happens. I think Love was closer to come but fell in Lebron's web, same thing will happen with Durant, yet they deep down know it's best for them to come to Boston!

Lakers fans be like "here comes the Durant to Celtics when we all know he's going to the Lakers!!"

Meaningless

99.9% of the time the players say what the reporter - fans wants to here.....

We will probably need another big name in order to lure Durant to the C's (just like KG back in 08). I doubt Horford would be enough.
