What’s going on everyone? Well, I’m finally back in Oklahoma City after a long weekend in Dallas. And man, it’s good to be back with my teammates. We went through a practice on Monday night and are getting right back into the swing of things tomorrow against the Dallas Mavericks.

I thought I’d just talk about what it was like playing in my first All-Star Game before we play Tuesday night. Really, it all sank in once I put my jersey on and warm-ups. Running out of that tunnel, it happened so quickly, first off. It felt like a dream to me. There were so many people there to watch the game and also so many people who gave me a great ovation.

That was something I really didn’t realize until somebody told me. I was caught up in the moment. But I’m glad all the fans supported me. Plus, it was a good game. It was a fun game and I had a blast running up and down the court with these guys and hopefully I can play in more All-Star Games.

Playing alongside all these stars was a little different for me. I was playing with a lot of guys who were the main options on their teams and it was kind of different for me to come off the bench, too. It was a new experience and like I said hopefully I come back.

And as far as that record crowd at the Cowboys Stadium, I’m just happy I was a part of some history. Again, the crowd was unbelievable. It was a lot to watch a basketball game and over 100,000 is something you wouldn’t even think about. I thought it would be around 80,000. But the crowd just showed how much our game has grown and how much the players have changed the look of the All-Star Game because it was a good game. It was like a real game. They don’t come out here and play around. They were serious trying to win.

Someone asked me if any player had left a lasting impression on me, and I really couldn’t come up with just one. Just being around these guys and seeing how they act and everyone was cool, just welcoming me in like I’ve been here for the last 10 years. I felt right at home, like I belonged.

And just as important to me was seeing some of my Thunder teammates throughout the weekend. That support system is always there from our players. They supported me and congratulated me and I just want to thank them so much.

Well, hopefully you all will continue to support us down the stretch of this season. I also want to know what you thought of the All-Star Game, so hit me up in my comments section. Talk to you soon!

Was there anything Kevin Durant didn’t do last week?

From shooting commercials for Gatorade and TNT and being named an All-Star reserve, to leading the league in scoring – how about that season-high 45 points on Sunday? – Durant stayed busy.

Oh, and just for good measure, the Thunder forward and former Longhorn was scheduled to make the trek to Sillwater on Monday night to see his boys from Texas take on Oklahoma State in a nationally televised game.

Of course, that had to be the icing on the cake for Kevin, who earned his second Western Conference Player of the Week award of the season on Monday afternoon.

Can it get any better? Of course it can. But let’s look back on the week that was for Kevin Durant.

What’s good everyone? Man, today’s been an unbelievable day for me, my family and the Thunder organization. I’ve been selected to play in my first-ever All-Star Game!

This was something I’ve dreamed about since I was growing up and I’m just so fortunate to be named a Western Conference All-Star. Hopefully I’ll be able to maintain this level of play. I just really appreciate my teammates and my family for giving me support and thank the good man above for giving me these talents and this work ethic.

A lot of people were already telling me congrats early on today but I didn’t want to know until it became official. But so many people have been supportive of me, so at the end of the day it’s still a blessing. A lot of people, fans and critics know we have a ton of talent in Oklahoma City and this just shines another light on the organization.

I’m sure you’ve already heard that I won’t be at All-Star Weekend alone. My teammates Russell Westbrook and James Harden will be playing in the Rookie-Sophomore game, so we’ll be well represented in Dallas.

Oh yeah, not sure if you guys were watching, but TNT did a live interview with me after they announced the All-Star reserves. That was pretty cool. I’ve seen a lot of guys do those interviews and now I guess it was my turn, but like I said I’m just blessed to be in this position. I’ve just got to continue to work hard.

And speaking of work, we’ve got another tough opponent tomorrow night when the Denver Nuggets come to town. Make sure you watch our game tomorrow, and thanks to everyone for all your support!
