Today is July 4th, the 241st anniversary of the day America secured its independence. It is also the one-year anniversary of the day the Golden State Warriors signed Kevin Durant.
And thanks to Kevin Durant, every July 4th from this point on, I will be blessed with the memory that, in fact, the Golden State Warriors did sign Kevin Durant. It’s honestly better than any barbecue or fireworks display that I will ever attend.
For me, it will be a good memory: waking up to my phone buzzing with the news, reading the Players’ Tribune article and realizing that the Warriors were adding a generational player to a 73-win team.
