Kevin Durant is back in Oklahoma City, but the vibe is noticeably different from last time.

The All-NBA forward was mercilessly mocked by Thunder fans last season when he returned for the first time as a member of the Golden State Warriors.

When Durant entered his old court Wednesday, he received cheers from fans donning Dubs jerseys.

There were also signs in support of the reigning Finals MVP, who spent the first nine years of his career with the Thunder before joining the Warriors last summer.

There was some love for his teammates, too.

Of course, there were also boos, heckling, and anti-KD signs - but nothing compared to February's showdown.

My, how times have changed.
