It is exciting that Durant is headed to Oakland at a time where the Bay Area is becoming a hub of the sports scene with the Raiders finally matching the height of the rest of the teams in the region. Hopefully the Raiders can match the buzz that Durant has created by returning to the playoffs and cap off what has been one of the most successful periods in the history of Bay Area sports.
