It should not be surprising, in these times, that Kevin Durant has a personal bodyguard. Nor is it surprising that the Nets hired the bodyguard, Antjuan Lambert, to give them more flexibility under league security guidelines.

He had previously had the same title with the Warriors when Durant played for Golden State.
But when Lambert ran on the court in Game 3 and confronted P.J. Tucker during an altercation with KD, the league decided to take action.
