Golden State Warriors star Kevin Durant helped lead local media and others on a tour of the Chase Center — the new arena in downtown San Francisco set to open and host the Warriors next season — on Friday afternoon.
As the arena is still a live construction site, everyone on the tour had to wear protective gear.
Upon seeing pictures of Durant in his hard hat, goggles and vest, the Internet — naturally — had some fun.
That time KD finally decided to join a work in progress.

All jokes aside, though, the arena tour is likely another attempt to get Durant to re-sign with the team next summer when he hits free agency.
By the sounds of it, Durant seemed pretty excited walking through the new arena.
