Many Oklahoma City Thunder fans felt betrayed when Kevin Durant left the Thunder this offseason to join the Golden State Warriors. The player who had meant everything to that city now means almost nothing, and nothing illustrates that better than this photo of Durant jerseys being sold on a 99 percent markdown price.

This is how much Thunder fans care about Durant now that he left.

Man. You can’t even buy a good taco for 48 cents, and this Academy store is selling the Durant replica jersey for that price. Before he left, those jerseys sold for $69.99.
The jerseys did sell out, according to ESPN’s Darren Rovell, but Oklahoma City fans are still mad. Take this family from Rovell’s story:
That wasn’t thanks to Keith Brooking, a 47-year-old man from Altus, Okla., whose was in the store on Thursday with his wife and daughter.
“We didn’t buy any,” Brooking said. “We were pretty upset with Durant.”
One day, Thunder fans will be able to get over this. Maybe they’ll even regret not grabbing the jersey deal of their lifetime here. But you can’t blame them for being upset for now.
