"I don't know how they're gonna guard us" -Booker

They have KD but we have Jaden McDaniels

NO ONE IN NBA HISTORY HAS HAD AN EASIER RIDE THROUGHOUT HIS CAREER THAN KEVIN DURANT. ➡️ Drafted by the Oklahoma City Thunder and was paired with Russell Westbrook for the next 10 years before joining the Golden State Warriors ➡️ Played with arguably one of the greatest teams of all time and won 2 championships. ➡️ Moved to the Brooklyn Nets where he was joined by Kyrie Irving and James Harden. Went as far as Round 2 before that team collapsed internally. ➡️ Now is with an offensively loaded Phoenix Suns team bannered by Devin Booker and Bradley Beal To say he’s had it easy is an understatement. He’s had the benefit of teams having a high reluctance to apply strong double teams on him due to the presence of otherworldy talent around him which, in effect, has helped make him one of the greatest scorers of all time. Don’t take that the wrong way though - that’s just smart basketball and Durant, again, is trying to find ways to make it easy for him. That said, despite all these loaded super teams that Durant finds himself in, he’s only won 2 chips throughout his career (and that was with a team that prior to his joining, was 73-9) which begs the question: Does he qualify “REALLY” as an all time top 10 player? Virtually everyone’s top 10 list has players both past and present fulfilling one intersting narrative: That on their teams, they were the Alpha that carried said team to a chip despite a mountain of adversity. And often times, if not, most times, having the lesser talent on their team. Kevin Durant does not have the second point on his side and even the first point itself is debatable. Now, again, on a loaded Suns team, in Round 1 of the NBA playoffs, he has an opportunity to prove the doubters wrong about the narrative that surrounds his legacy. “He is the Alpha on a loaded team and he can take them to the Finals” The only problem? Is that the Suns are going up against a destined Minnesota Timberwolves led by a player who so happens to idolize this man - and is taking those career narratives surrounding Durant and might just be on the verge of surpassing them (at the moment) Doing something his idol could never. Unless? Kevin Durant can somehow find it within himself to overcome the adversity and re-write the script. He needs to. For his legacy’s sake.

KD outplayed by Jaden McDaniels on both ends of the court 😂😂😂

McDaniels and Edwards are the change of the guard back to Pippen and MJ again 🏀💪🏿👑😂

This is the reason if your teams got many superstar no defense.

Take a shot every time the announcer says "boy!" at the start of his sentences. You'll be blackout by the first half

Poor KD, become a journeyman and father time is already touching him. This doesnt deny him the fact that he is one of the great and unstoppable scorers of our time. Hope they could bounce back on the next games.

@@INDREAMSBEGINSRESPONSIBILITIES Well, to define my 'unstoppable' description, statistic shows that he achived the following: 4x NBA Scoring Champion (2010-2012, 2014) 2x '50-40-90' Club (2013, 2023) For me he's still one of the best out there.

KD needs to call up his daddy right now and say: "Steph, I'm sorry. I had it good with y'all. I ain't won shit since I left you. Can I come back? Please, daddy" 😂

Rip durant

Where is the Suns in 4 guy this year?

I was rooting for the Suns before I saw this game 🤦‍♂️

Yo KD, don't you regret not coming to Nicks?

Proof that defense wins championships. Suns had 3 great offensive players. Those 3 have no defense too.

Suns is KDs team, what the hell happened to booker that shoe deal hasnt brough him anywhere

Beal trade was okay, the KD trade was 👎🏻. They gave part of their Finals rosters away for the snake 🐍 KD.

Luckily Phoenix not playing against Dallas. if not the daddy jokes will be in.

Time to pre-order my KD Timberwolves jersey.....

That's the problem with KD ! a superstar in his magnitude should know how to organise trades ! You bring your friends instead of Guys who are important for the Wins😢😢. No body want to defend

Good job Dallas Mavericks playing good

Suns is the disappointment of playoffs

F These Timberwolves! If KD ask to be traded I’m 100% going to blame it on them Twolves.

Edward not even serious in this game, lol

no defense no party, Suns shouls join 3 points competition instead

4-0

HAHAHAH superstar booker? Lmao

Hahhaha durant needs to back in golden state last option 😅😅😅😅

KD is done. Never could do it by himself

Nurkic's defense is terrible!

Durant he really old 😂 that's sad.

Wherever KD goes these are your results ......

Wolves got a stacked team bro they like that a aau team filled with tall black guys that no one wants to face wtf..........

KD is probably the most overrated person

Durant bus rider, ring chaser, super team chaser sucks.

This is KD. Has Booker and Beal and still can't win. Then he complains about why nobody respects his 2 rings joining the team with the best record ever... bum
