Kevin Durant is sporting some new kicks for the Golden State Warriors' preseason game in Seattle and Draymond Green is already giving his opinion on KD's footwear. Draymond is calling KD's shoes the Breanna Stewart 11s because if there's any basketball that embodies the city of Seattle it's her.

Sorry, Kevin Durant. We know you're one of the last two active NBA players to play for the Seattle SuperSonics (Jeff Green is the other), but Breanna Stewart sits atop the basketball throne in Seattle. Stewart is fresh off a WNBA Championship, a Finals MVP, a regular season MVP, a FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup Championship, and the MVP of that very same tournament.

The Warriors are taking on the Sacramento Kings in Seattle and it will mark an important moment for the league. If the league decides to expand in the near future, Seattle will be tops on the list of cities that could host an expansion team. The SuperSonics played their final game in 2008 and the basketball-rich city has been waiting for an NBA team to return ever since.
The SuperSonics were an iconic franchise and hopefully one day the city of Seattle can watch NBA basketball again.
