Even though his career is not over, Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant is already a Hall-of-Famer.
Durant's induction into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame is still years away from actually happening but on Thursday night, the Thunder forward was inducted into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame. Before giving his acceptance speech, Durant was fittingly introduced by his teammate Russell Westbrook, who actually presented the Thunder forward with his Hall of Fame medal.

Similar to his 2014 MVP speech, Durant humbly accepted the award, thanking his family and the entire state of Oklahoma for helping him to be the person that he is today.

You have to love how Durant ended his speech with a shoutout to Westbrook. These two are more than just teammates and Westbrook could be the main reason why Durant will re-sign with the Thunder in the summer.
