I mean was he ever? I get the stats but outside of joining the Golden St. dynasty it has been one disappointing season after another.
And of course management always gets the blame on each of his stops, which completely glosses over the fact that KD had massive input on what each of those rosters looked like.
I always thought KD is/was more interested in his brand and things outside of basketball than actually winning championships.
I’m assuming you were just joking with this comment.
There was a time when Kevin Durant was considered by many basketball writers and commentators to be THE best player in the entire sport. For you to then ask if he has ever been on the level of a #1 or #2 for a title contender is honestly kind of laughable. Come on, man. SMH

Haliburton just injured or re-injured his lower leg. It looked like an achilles to me. He's out for now.
1st Quarter, Game 7, OKC 22 IND 20.

Hopefully for him but watch the replay and his ankle. It just flops.
Hmm. Really? I saw his calf pop in slo-mo. But I’m certainly no expert.
His dad confirmed to a reporter during the game that it was an Achilles injury. Presumably a rupture to take him out like that.
The Sam Presti Coronation. Amazing to think that sans Hurricane Katrina, this team is probably not in OKC. What a great young core, can they beat back the disease of more? We can think about that another day. Hats off to the young turks and respect to Indiana. On to what really drives interest in the NBA, the draft and free agency.

Absolutely heartbreaking for Haliburton and the Pacers. That loss will linger in the franchise’s memory until they finally capture an NBA title. They went from having a real shot at winning last night—and being early favorites in the East next season—to suddenly facing some tough, existential questions about their future.

As a ex-pat Sonics fan, it enrages me a bit.
Of course it does, hopefully Seattle will get one of these two new franchises. Some rumors suggest that announcement could be coming in the next month.

I sincerely hope they gift back to Seattle the colors and mascot. They were iconic.
If New Orleans could be so kind to Charlotte, hopefully Clay Bennett can find it in his hear to do the same.
