Where does Kevin Durant's Commanders fandom come from?
Kevin Durant was born in Washington, D.C., on September 29, 1988, and has said the team has been his since childhood. He told FOX Sports in October 2015 that he grew up "five minutes away from the stadium." The franchise was still called the Redskins in that account, which is the name he used when he described the tattoo on his forearm. His high school path also stayed in the area: National Christian Academy in Fort Washington, Maryland, and Montrose Christian School in Rockville, Maryland, with a stop at Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Virginia, in between. Since then his career has run through Seattle/Oklahoma City, Golden State, Brooklyn, Phoenix and Houston.
Which Knicks player has been tied to the Washington Commanders?
Josh Hart was born in Silver Spring, Maryland, on March 6, 1995, and attended Wheaton in Silver Spring and Sidwell Friends School in Washington, D.C. His case rests on a report, not a statement of his own. New York Knicks On SI wrote in December 2024 that "Josh Hart has hardly hid his love of the Washington Commanders." The same piece placed two of his Knicks teammates, Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns, with the Philadelphia Eagles. Hart has played for the Lakers, Pelicans, Trail Blazers and Knicks.
