Kevin Durant

Yes, the Golden State Warriors employ four All-Stars. Yes, their bench, while shallower than in years past, remains one of the deepest in the NBA. Yes, they waltzed their way to a title last year. And yes, they remain heavy favorites to do so again this season. But that doesn’t matter. At their core, they’re [...]

Kevin Durant isn’t actually anti-Russell Westbrook. He just has slippery thumbs. NBA Twitter went predictably wild when Durant’s Instagram account liked a comment that was critical of his former teammate in Oklahoma City. Here’s the breakdown, courtesy of Sports Illustrated: [tweet https://twitter.com/SInow/status/988484771058679808?tfw_site=SBNation&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sbnation.com%2F2018%2F4%2F23%2F17272808%2Fkevin-durant-instagram-russell-westbrook-like-twitter-burner-account-nba] Did Durant maybe think he was using one of his burner accounts again?

Kevin Durant and Giannis Antetokounmpo possess a lot of similarities as players and they may be the most freakishly gifted 6’11” or 7’0″ players the NBA has ever seen with their unique agility and ability to handle the ball and play like a guard at their size. Like every generational star in this era of [...]

Kevin Durant will be a free agent this summer… not really though. According to a report from Chris Haynes of ESPN, Durant is going to opt out of his deal in order to restructure his contract this summer. “A nine-time All-Star and the reigning NBA Finals MVP, Durant will be turning down a salary of [...]

Kevin Durant wants you to know the Golden State Warriors aren’t NBA Finals locks. They aren’t locks for anything, period. Most had the Warriors ticketed for another championship at the start of this season. Even now, with the Houston Rockets having clinched the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference, it’s tough for some to [...]

Kevin Durant doesn’t get an MVP vote. If he did, though, he’d give it to James Harden. As he recently told The Athletic’s Anthony Slater: “It’s his turn,” Kevin Durant told The Athletic recently. “Just give it to him. It’s his time to win it.” This is not the most eloquent way to lay out Harden’s case. [...]

Klay Thompson makes it look effortless to be on an NBA court with his lethal jump shot and ability to come off of screens and nail deep-range shots with remarkable accuracy. He is one of the best marksman in NBA history and is very laid back and non-ego driven, a necessary quality when at times [...]

Kevin Durant isn’t yet done taking aim at those who have criticized him for abandoning the Oklahoma City Thunder and signing with the Golden State Warriors in 2016.

Kevin Durant hasn’t yet been playing with Stephen Curry for two full seasons, but he already finds it strange having to tackle the competition without him. This much was made clear by the lanky MVP after the Golden State Warriors fell to the Minnesota Timberwolves, who were playing without Jimmy Butler. Curry is on the [...]

If you’re like everyone else, you’re verging on shocked that the Golden State Warriors didn’t enter the All-Star break with the NBA’s best record. That honor belongs to the Houston Rockets, who have a half-game hold on Western Conference’s No. 1 seed and, by extension, the league’s highest winning percentage over the reigning champs. And [...]
