When you think of superstars in the league a few names come to mind like LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant and now Stephen Curry. However one of those names was not voted in as an NBA All Star this year and he’s the league’s reigning MVP and scoring champion, Kevin Durant. Unfortunately he was hit with an injury and has appeared in just 19 of his team’s 42 games this season, and as a result, has remained largely invisible from the national spotlight. He finished just fifth in the West in All-Star voting for frontcourt players — more than 800,000 votes behind Anthony Davis, and almost 250,000 votes behind Marc Gasol. So how does he feel about that?

NBA: Kevin Durant Says ‘KD2DC’ Movement is “Cool” But He Never Thought About Playing For Wizards
On Wednesday night the Oklahoma City Thunder faced the Washington Wizards and one thing that was on everybody’s mind (pregame at least) was the KD2DC movement. Kevin Durant won’t become a free agent until 2016 but with the emergence of the Wizards being a great team and with LeBron getting everyone on a “going home” kick, many have speculated and pushed for Durant to play in D.C. Though the superstar remains coy about his future plans, there’s no doubt that he’s heard the rumblings going on and last night he had no choice but to face them.
