After another disappointing season the LA Lakers found themselves for the second straight year with the second overall pick in the 2007 draft. With Greg Oden being the obvious number 1, the Lakers selected Kevin Durant, the second best player in the draft without question. Durant fit in perfectly with what the Lakers had been putting together for the past couple of years; they had been lacking a first option scorer and that is exactly what they got. Durant with out question should become one of the leagues top scorers within a few season and should contribute plenty during his rookie season. The Lakers now find themselves with 4 young studs in their lineup.
Durant on his first couple of nights seemed like he just didn’t fit in the rest of the crew. At the 18 years old, he just had a different idea on what was a ‘good time‘.
“You know, he just came in and said hi with his head down. He just wouldn’t make eye contact with us” Smith commented on his new teammate “ He seemed like a very shy guy. We went to his room to ask him if he wanted to hit the town with us but he was just sitting in the corner of his room playing with some legos so we just left”
We asked Durant why he was a little shy around his teammates and said, “ Umm I’m not really sure what do with my hands… umm the car the, the car go real good. Felt like I was on a spaceship” He kept on putting his hands right on my face, and I don’t even know what the means.
Later on wee found LaMarcus Aldridge in the locker room and we asked him to comment on Durant.
“ haha that guy, I don’t even know what to think of him. I asked him the other night if he wanted to go get a couple of beers, on me you know? You know what he said to me? He asked me if it would be weird if he were to mix Harry Potter Legos with some Star Wars ones… I didn’t know what to say, I mean I wouldn’t do it cause they are different kinds!!!! I don’t know, I guess you could. I feel embarrassed.”
Rondo who of course was naked on Aldridge’s back, commented on the matter.
“ He is a good guy, I like him. Hahaha Last night we got him hammered drunk, and I mean drunk. Man he was crazy, He kept on walking around on high heels and kept on saying ‘ hey guys, hey guys, don’t call me Kevin, I’m Kendra now!!!’ I don’t even know what that means, but I like it. He really opened up to us”
The LA Lakers’ young three has become 4. It should be a matter of days until Durant becomes one of the boys. No worries. The Lakers future is looking better and better.
