Thunder fans cheer Steven Adams then boo Kevin Durant seconds later in Rockets' Thunder pregame on NBA on NBC relaunch.
00:09
The Oklahoma City Thundercloud showed major love to Steven Adams during player introductions at last night's season opener at Paycom Center.
00:17
Many in the building still see him as the embodiment of OKC's identity, blue-collar, loyal and unselfish.
00:23
His ovation was pure gratitude, a reminder that some players never truly leave OKC's heart.
00:30
Seconds after Adams' cheers faded, Kevin Durant's name came over the loudspeaker.
00:35
Nearly nine years after his 2016 decision to leave for Golden State, Thunder fans made it clear that wounds from his departure have not healed.
00:44
The boos carried through the entire introduction.
00:46
What happened during those introductions wasn't just crowd noise.
00:50
It was the latest chapter in one of the NBA's longest-running fan rivalries.
00:54
Oklahoma City still views Durant's departure as the moment that shattered an era.
01:01
To them, it wasn't about switching teams, it was about switching sides in a fight they believed they could still win.
01:07
That betrayal turned him from a hero into a permanent villain in the city that once adored him.
01:13
Fans may eventually forgive, but in Oklahoma City, they never forget.
01:16
A 14-second clip went viral showing OKC fans cheering Steven Adams, then immediately booing Kevin Durant.
01:24
The post from Brick Center racked up millions of views with fans joking about OKC's unique loyalty.
01:30
The irony?
01:32
Adams and Durant are now Rockets teammates, yet OKC fans treat them like opposites.
01:37
Even neutral viewers called it pure sports theater.
01:39
Oklahoma City's fan culture has always been personal.
01:43
Those who break it, booed forever.
01:46
That's why the Adams and Durant sequence resonated beyond basketball.
01:50
It wasn't about stats or championships.
01:52
To Thunder fans, it's tradition.
