Overview

• On Netflix's Starting 5, Durant says he told LeBron James to "shut the f--k up" when players celebrated James Harden’s 2012 move and claims rivals were "scared" of the Thunder’s rise.
• Durant alleges LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and others were "happy" the Thunder trio split because they knew Oklahoma City was "on the way."
• Harden was traded to the Rockets on Oct. 27, 2012, five days before the season, after extension talks reportedly stalled over roughly $5 million, per ESPN’s Brian Windhorst.
• LeBron later indicated he was less surprised by the decision than by its late timing, while former Warriors GM Bob Myers said the Thunder’s run ended "for financial reasons."
• Now with the Rockets, Durant acknowledged the Opening Night visit to Oklahoma City for the Thunder’s ring ceremony and said he expects cameras to capture his reaction.
