<\/a><\/p>\n<\/h6>\n<\/h6>\nBoo, clap, cheer?\u00a0 What shall I do as a Oklahoma City Thunder fan?<\/span><\/h6>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/h6>\nAs a season ticket holder from game one first season through tonight game with the Milwaukee Bucks, I have earned an opinion on how OKC Thunder fans should act on Nick Collison\u2019s number retiring game in March with regard to the appearance of Kevin Durant at said honoring.<\/span><\/h6>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
First thing to remember, that night is for NIck Collison. He owns that number \u201c4\u201d for the history of this franchise on Reno Street in OKC.\u00a0 He earned it through his play, his Thunder attitude, and for nothing else as a bonified one-hundred percent representative of the team, the city of OKC, and finally, the sport of basketball. He is, until Russell Westbrook retires, Mr. Thunder for many of us.\u00a0 He is the embodiment of many things, but most of all, of being a team-mate of those that played with him.\u00a0 If Kevin Durant is welcome by Nick, so should we welcome Kevin.\u00a0 If the Thunder can also welcome KD, again, so can we as fans.<\/span><\/h6>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/h6>\nI, and many Thunder fans, do not have a positive feeling toward Kevin, and some of us might never have that forgiveness in their regards to the man.\u00a0 But again, it is time for Thunder fans, not to forget, not to forgive, but to understand that Mr. Durant had the itch to leave this city and move on.\u00a0 He has and it is time for us to do the same with him, move on down the street to Western Avenue.<\/span><\/h6>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/h6>\nAs for me, will I boo the man?\u00a0 Will I clap for him?\u00a0 Cheer for the great one?<\/span><\/h6>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kevin Durant, I hope someday you can be the man Nick Collison is, with regard to team, city, basketball, and life.\u00a0 Only the best for you.\u00a0 I hope you find out that having fun is not the goal of life.\u00a0 That winning NBA titles is not the goal of life.\u00a0 Maybe this night you might learn that there is more to life than having a wonderful mother that loves you and you can be honored as a man and not for your accomplishments on a wooden basketball floor. \u00a0 I hope one day you might have your number retired too.\u00a0 But to have that in your future, you will have to understand what Nick Collison already knows.\u00a0 It is personal with Nick. It is how you treat your friends.\u00a0 Real friends. I do think Nick is one of your friends.\u00a0 Your internal \u201clight bulb\u201d has to turn on and it has to be about others and not yourself.\u00a0 I wish you well.<\/span><\/h6>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
If\u00a0 introduced to the crowd that evening, I will do neither (boo or clap).\u00a0 I will stand in my section of Loud City, and when and if his name is called\u2026.yes\u2026..I will stand in my section of Loud City, silent.\u00a0 A silent welcome that is what KD deserves.<\/span><\/h6>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
