Well, despite being “old as hell” (Durant’s words, lol), he is still one of the best players in the league. He proved his worth this season after making a comeback from a serious injury and is still playing at an elite level.
Maybe in the upcoming season, he can lead the Brooklyn Nets to an NBA Championship. Regardless of his talents, it won’t be an easy job by any means.
Can Kevin Durant add another championship to his resume? Or are his championship winning days over? Well, we will find that out when the new season kicks off.
