Kevin Durant's Hometown Love

The other day, the Basketball Jones notified the blogosphere of Kevin Durant's tattoos in a picture. He has a bunch, but they are all hidden from view when he dons his Oklahoma City jersey. The Thunder are sometimes lauded for not having visible tattoos, which is an odd plaudit with, like everything in basketball, some racial aspect. Regardless, Kevin Durant is from the DC area. He didn't go to then local powerhouses Georgetown or Maryland, but he still has some love for DC.
Witness:
The first thing I noticed was the Walgreens-esque W of the Washington Nationals. I admit, I gave a little "hell yeah" in the dour confines of my office. Of course, the exclamation was tempered by the knowledge that the Nats would likely lose to the Braves later yesterday evening. Fortunately, probability didn't work out and the Nats crushed the Braves 9-3. Thanks, Kevin Durant.

I think.

  1. Interesting fact from the second linked article:
    Oklahoma was the last state to legalize tattooing.

  2. Does anybody know why he didn't go to G-town, Maryland, or any of the East Coast schools?

  3. DeSean Jackson of the Eagles rocks the W, too. http://www.crossingbroad.com/2010/11/so-desean-jackson-got-a-washington-nationals-tattoo.html
