If Kevin Durant leaves Oklahoma City, it won’t be because he doesn’t like it there.

The Thunder’s first-time All-Star forward already has gone on record as saying he thinks his team has a chance to win a championship if they stay together. Of course, that will hinge on whether Durant stays or bolts for a maximum contract offer elsewhere.

“That’s the last thing I’m thinking about right now,” Durant said before Friday night’s game against the Clippers. “It’s too early to talk about that. If I worry about that, it will take the focus off the team. I just want to continue to get better. The guys here have faith that I’ll be here for as long as possible.”

Durant entered Friday needing one more 30-point game to increase his league-leading total to 35, which would tie the single-season franchise mark Spencer Haywood set with the 1972-73 Seattle SuperSonics.

“I’ve been working hard and it’s starting to pay off,” Durant said. “But I’ve got a long way to go to get where I want to be as a player. And if I continue to work hard and keep getting better and better and become a student of the game, then the sky’s the limit for myself and my team.”
