Kevin Durant's Funny Story About James Harden, Nate Robinson and a Car

In February 2011, the Thunder acquired Nate Robinson from the Celtics.

Robinson only ended up appearing in four regular season and three playoff games for Oklahoma City, but he still made his presence felt with his teammates.

Kevin Durant was recently a guest on the podcast hosted by Quentin Richardson and Darius Miles called "Knuckleheads," and he told the following story:

"I remember one time James (Harden) got so mad. We had Nate Robinson on the team. James and Eric Maynor used to always play around. So we were in practice one day and we were wondering where Nate was at.

"Nate (drove) James' car all the way around the corner and parked it at the car wash. He ain't tell nobody. He just parked it at the car wash out of nowhere. He took pictures ghost ridin' this joint, like on top of the hood.

"We walked in the locker room and James was like, 'Yo, where's my keys at?' He's steaming. He's hot. He's ready to fight Nate almost. Pissed. You know when somebody moves something and you trying to leave and you're irritated.

"Man, that was the first time we ever got into anything as a team -- when Nate comes on the team (laughing). It was hilarious and I see why James was pissed (laughing)."

Great stuff.

In early January 2012, Robinson signed with the Warriors. In 51 games during the lockout-shortended campaign, he averaged 11.2 points and 4.5 assists.

He ended up getting more playing time than expected, in large part due to Steph Curry being limited to 26 games because of ankle issues.

Although that was a frustrating season for the only unanimous MVP in NBA history, it's safe to assume he has a fantastic Nate Robinson story or two up his sleeves.

At some point soon, somebody's got to ask Curry to reveal one.
