It's been almost two years since Kevin Durant left the Oklahoma City Thunder and chose the Golden State Warriors. It was a highly-controversial decision. Most NBA fans have already moved on. Some fans at OKC, however, are still bitter up to this very day.

Leading into tonight's game between the Warriors and Thunder, Durant received a mixture of cheers and boos from the crowd as he entered the court for early warm-ups. Below is a clip of the encounter:

As observed, Durant high-fived a few Warriors fans. But when other Thunder fans caught sight of Durant, the boos started to come in. Durant, however, seems unaffected by it. He's been so used to it right now that he feels comfortable in it.

Besides, he's not the first person ever to receive boos from a former team. Fellow superstars LeBron James, Tracy McGrady, among others, have been subject to bullying from their former home crowd.
