Kevin Durant Legacy May Be on The Line Fair or Unfair? (LIVE BREAKDOWN)
122#KevinDurant #Suns #NBAPlayoffs #ShowTymeonPointSports\nIt takes a lot to make basketball look like a struggle for Kevin Durant. The Minnesota Timberwolves, with a suffocating blend of perimeter pressure and rim protection, are doing a damn good job of it in the first-round playoff series they lead 2-0. But so are the Phoenix Suns, who move about as much as cement and aim to survive on just about the unhealthiest shot diet known to man. \n\nThe Suns look well on their way to a first-round exit. If that does become their fate, Durant will move to 2-4 in six playoff series since leaving the Golden State Warriors in 2019, at which point he began trying to superteam his way to post-Stephen Curry validation. \n\nDurant, individually, has acquitted himself just fine. Shock-jock hot takes notwithstanding, he never had anything to prove in that regard in the first place. He was sensational before teaming up with Curry, and he's been sensational after. But the playoff losses are piling up because, even for a scorer as gifted as Durant, basketball becomes very difficult when you're going at it largely alone. \n\nIt's not to suggest Durant doesn't have help in Phoenix, and he certainly had help in Brooklyn when the Nets were healthy, which, to be fair, was never fully the case in the playoffs. But the particular players that Durant has chosen to partner with are mostly smaller versions of himself. Devin Booker and Kyrie Irving are bucket getters who create largely for themselves. Bradley Beal is an overqualified spot-up shooter but isn't good enough to command equal creative rights in Phoenix. \n\nNBA 2023-2024\nLos Angeles Lakers \nGolden State Warriors \nMilwaukee Bucks \nBoston Celtics\nPhiladelphia 76ers \nCleveland Cavaliers \nNew York Knicks \nBrooklyn Nets \nMiami Heat \nAtlanta Hawks \nToronto Raptors \nWashington Wizards \nChicago Bulls \nIndiana Pacers \nOrlando Magic \nCharlotte Hornets \nDetroit Pistons \nDenver Nuggets \nMemphis Grizzlies \nSacramento Kings \nPhoenix Suns \nLos Angeles Clippers \nMinnesota Timberwolves \nNew Orleans Pelicans \nOklahoma City Thunder \nDallas Mavericks \nUtah Jazz \nPortland Trail Blazers \nSan Antonio Spurs \nHouston Rockets\n\n#nba #nbalive #lakers #losangeleslakers #warriors #goldenstatewarriors #bucks #milwaukeebucks #celtics #bostonceltics #76ers #philadelphia76ers #cavaliers #clevelandcavaliers #knicks #newyorkknicks #nets #brooklynnets #heat #miamiheat #hawks #atlantahawks #raptors #torontoraptors #wizards #washingtonwizards #bulls #chicagobulls #pacers #indianapacers #magic #orlandomagic #hornets #charlottehornets #pistons #detroitpistons #nuggets #denvernuggets #grizzlies #memphisgrizzlies #kings #sacramentokings #suns #phoenixsuns #clippers #losangelesclippers #timberwolves #minnesotatimberwolves #pelicans #neworleanspelicans #thunder #oklahomacitythunder #mavericks #dallasmavericks #jazz #utahjazz #blazers #portlandtrailblazers #spurs #sanantoniospurs #rockets #houstonrockets \n\nFAIR-USE COPYRIGHT DISCLAIMER : Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, all the videos, songs, images and graphics in the video belong to their respective owners and I or this channel does not claim any right over them.
