We are in the home stretch of the Off-Season. Media Day is September 26. Training Camp opens the next Day. September 28 is the 10th anniversary of the Jay-Z concert that opened Barclays Center. Day after that, it’s Happy 34th, Kevin Durant!
Durant will no doubt have a happy birthday, oblivious to all the attacks on his character and his leadership that have mounted since he first asked for a trade, then rescinded it in hopes of bringing that elusive championship to Brooklyn, New York. He is, after all, Kevin Durant. We know who he is.
But not surprisingly, he has taken his hits, the most recent from the TNT crew, specifically Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal.
