Kevin Durant is a free agent, and there are 29 fan bases who are hoping their team can lure Durant away from the Oklahoma City Thunder. While most NBA teams are likely to at least make a run at KD (because you never know what might happen), some folks who aren’t professionally tied to the NBA and don’t have to worry about tampering charges are already trying to entice Durant to their city. For example, there’s one company in Boston that hope they can make KD a Celtic by giving him crabs.
Legal Sea Foods, who in their press release call themselves a “Boston restaurant institution,” say that, if Durant signs with the Celtics, they will give him complimentary king crab legs at any of their 10 in-state restaurants. He can have them steamed. He can have them braised. He can eat crab legs ‘til his heart’s content. “17 World Championships and endless king crab legs? We think it’s time KD takes a closer look at Boston as his next home,” said company president Roger Berkowitz.
It is an established fact that Durant loves crab legs, but his hometown of D.C. has access to some of the country’s finest crab legs, so this may not quite put Boston over the edge. Oh, also Durant is super rich, and is going to get even richer, so he can probably afford good crab legs wherever he goes. Still, shout out to Legal Sea Foods for at least being proactive.
