We all know Kevin Durant is one of the greatest to ever play the games – James Worthy certainly does – and the Phoenix Suns are lucky to have him. Despite being nearly 36-years-old, the Olympic Games in Paris this summer showed us that if a team has Durant, then it has a chance to win.
Of course having Devin Booker alongside helps – he is the franchise player in The Valley after all – but Durant is probably the best second option in the league who can fill it as the go-to guy for however long you need him to during a game. He may also be the most automatic bucket in league history, which is crazy if you really think about it.
The players that he did go ahead and pick were obvious choices – with the exception of one that we’ll get to – but that hardly feels like the point. Despite having the opportunity to show some love to Booker, Durant instead went in another direction altogether. In the end opting for a pair of Dallas Mavericks to play alongside him.
Neither Durant or Booker particularly care what fans or media say about them – although they have wildly different ways of showing it – but in the case of Durant, he has been known to care about what even randomers on social media think. So surely he knew he’d be in for a rough time in not picking Booker, despite the fact he would have been an understandable choice.
