Our take: After the Miami Heat defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA finals, Kevin Durant, the Thunder's vocally Christian forward, cried from the disappointment. Durant has not made his faith a secret, drawing headlines when he carried a Bible into the 2011 playoffs. However, despite the hurt he has said he felt after the NBS finals loss, Durant still views himself as blessed and wants to draw closer to God.
Kevin Durant, the Oklahoma City Thunder's Christian forward, may have cried after an emotional NBA Finals loss to the Miami Heat on Thursday night, but the league's leading shooter has expressed nothing but gratitude for the opportunity to compete.
"Tough way to end a season but I am truly blessed to have the privilege to play for such a great city, congrats to the Miami Heat," the 23-year-old Thunder forward wrote on his Twitter page.
While Durant has continually called the opportunity to play with his teammates a blessing, he has been vocal about his Christian faith even before advancing to his first NBA finals this season. Many became curious about Durant's faith after the star walked into last year's playoffs with a Bible in his backpack.
