Kevin Durant says rapper Lil Wayne should have hit him up for courtside tickets to Game 3 here Thursday.  Read more after the jump.
The Oklahoma City Thunder star had two extra that he was willing to give up to bring some celebrity status to the Chesapeake Energy Arena for Game 4 on Saturday.
“We need people like that around here,” Durant said during the team’s practice Friday.
The team apparently didn’t feel the same way Thursday night when the rapper created a stir by posting on Twitter that he was “going to go to the Thunder game tonight but was denied by the team to be in their arena” because he had not bought a ticket.
Thunder spokesman Dan Mahoney said Lil Wayne’s representatives did contact the team requesting tickets but insisted that he sit on the front row, and none of those seats were available. Oklahoma City sold out every home game during the regular season and playoffs.
Mahoney said at the time, “We’d love to have him at a game, but like anyone else, he needs a ticket.”
Lil Wayne finished his tweet with “Go Spurs!”
Durant would like to see the rapper change his tune.
