What’s good everyone? Hope you all saw our win last night over the New Jersey Nets. We beat them 105-89 on the road for our third straight win. It’s our longest winning streak of the season. It’s a long season, but I’m so excited with the way we’ve been playing.

I hope tonight will be just as good for us. We’re in D.C. right now. As most of you know, I grew up just outside of here. So it’s good to be back! I feel like I haven’t been here in years. I haven’t been home since September. We’re just here for a day, but even if it’s for a couple of hours it feels good. It’ll be fun to play in front of my friends and family.

I’m sure a lot of people are going to be hitting me up for tickets, but I’m going to let my mom and my brother handle that for me. I’m just worried about coming in and playing. They all respect that I’ve got to get my rest for game day and they all understand that.

So I’ll be ready to play. Our game against the Wizards starts tonight at 6 p.m. OKC time, so if you’re in the area, buy a ticket and come check us out. If not, watch us on TV. We beat the Wizards at home earlier this season, but we don’t overlook any opponent. Should be a good game!

Hey everyone. KD wants to make his site a home for his fans. So today we’re rolling out a section of the blog called the “Fan Zone”. This is where fans will get to blog about KD and the Thunder. We’ll also be using this section to house contests, giveaways, etc.

Here’s our first Fan Zone post. It comes from Justin Geary. Justin sent in this email to us after KD hooked him up with free tickets to last week’s home game against Philly.

There I was sitting on my couch thinking “Man, it would be nice to go a thunder game” but unfortunately I’m broke and therefore my wallet didn’t agree. So I turned to Twitter and decided I would Tweet KD. I said “@KevinDurant35 you should hook a broke college student up with some tickets for tonight’s game…please.” It was kind of a joke but I did want tickets to the game. Not two minutes later I received an email that said Kevin Durant is now following you on twitter, so I went back to twitter and he had responded, he said “@jgeary01 Ok DM me ur name n I got u.”

I couldn’t believe it so I immediately direct messaged him and he informed me there would be 2 tickets for me when I showed up. They could have been anywhere in that arena and I would have been happy but then I show up and the seats were on the Lower Level, it was awesome! KD dropped 33 and Russell Westbrook had 15 assists! It was awesome! I think it’s so awesome that Kevin Durant would reach out to a fan like that, it’s such a respectable thing to do. It shows he truly cares about his fans! Thanks KD!

Make sure you pick up a copy of ESPN the Magazines NEXT issue with KD on the cover.

Last night KD and the Thunder took on rookie sensation Brandon Jennings and the Milwaukee Bucks. The game was broadcast nationally on ESPN, making it the first nationally televised game of the season for the Thunder. The Thunder made sure to show basketball fans around the country what all the hype surrounding them is about, defeating the Bucks 108-109. KD finished the game with 33 points and 12 rebounds 5 assists and 3 steals. Here are the highlights:

Kevin and the Thunder bounced back from a tough loss to the Lakers on Sunday by beating the Jazz in Utah on Tuesday night. Kevin finished with 28 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists. Kevin is now 5th in the league in scoring, averaging 27 points per night. The Thunder are now 5-4 on the road this season. Here are the game highlights:

What’s good fans? Welcome to my personal blog. This is my first blog post! I’m going to keep you guys updated on what’s going on with me on and off the court, so enjoy and keep coming back.

I am a big fan of Twitter, Facebook and other social media. It’s a lot of fun being social with everybody who is a basketball fan, who loves to watch us play and loves to watch me play. That’s why I do this. It’s pretty cool just to meet some of the people I’ve met so far on Twitter and Facebook. There’s just a lot of great basketball fans who respect the game and really know me as a player.

I’ve already given away some shoes and Nike care packages on Twitter to fans that answered trivia questions about me, and that was a lot of fun. It’s just something I wanted to do…I was in a giving mood, and it’s always good to give back to the fans.

Right now we’re on another road trip. We just played Kobe and the Lakers on Sunday (Tough loss!). Now we’re in Utah for a game against the Jazz on Tuesday.

We’ve been on the road a lot this season, which has been one of our first tests – how to get through long road trips. We’ve already played in San Antonio, Sacramento, L.A., Miami and Orlando.

Our last trip was very rewarding for us. There were some ups and downs on the trip, but we learned a lot. We learned how to handle six games in nine nights. Remember, we’re all still young guys learning how to go through that. We won a couple, we lost a couple. It was a good learning experience.

For those who want to know what I like to do on road trips, I spend most of my time listening to a lot of music, watching a lot of movies and just playing video games. I’m kind of basic. I don’t go really go out too much. I go to the malls here and there, but most of the time I play music, listen to music, make my own music and watch TV.

But actually when we were in Miami, me and the guys went to a restaurant there called Prime 112 and they had a dessert there called fried Oreos – one of the best dishes I’ve ever had. It was very, very good. If you’ve ever had them, you know exactly what I’m talking about. Hopefully I’ll go back down there to get some more of those.

When we’re on the road I usually go out to eat wherever the guys want to go. We usually just go to the mall or go to the movies, so we just pick a place that’s close by. We never plan out where we’re going to eat. If we see a place that we like we’ll just go there. I like to eat a lot of pastas, like from the Cheesecake Factory. We go there a lot. Actually, I think that’s a main place we go to on every road trip.

That place is so good, we just can’t stay away. The strawberry lemonade, the stuffed tortillas…Me and Russ always get that.

Well, that’s it for now. I hope this lets you in on a little bit about me. I’ll have another post for you later this week.

Fans: Be sure to check out Kevin on Twitter and Facebook.

Last night, Kevin and the the Thunder bounced back from their tough loss to the Clippers on Sunday, defeating Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat in Miami. KD had his second straight 30-point performance, finishing the game with 32 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists.

KD’s performance had Miami’s Quentin Richardson at a loss for words:

“You’ve got to take your hat off to that kid,” Heat forward Quentin Richardson said. “He’s 6-foot-11 and playing like a 2 guard. That’s a tough cover for anybody in the NBA, as tall as he is, as quick as he is, and he has an unbelievable jump shot.”

Here are the highlights:
