Kevin Durant is once again poised to pursue his third career championship after last month's blockbuster trade to the Houston Rockets. In a recent podcast episode, Durant reflected on his first championship chase, which took place more than a decade ago during his nine-year stint with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Durant sat down with NBA luminaries LeBron James and Steve Nash for an interview on the "Mind the Game" podcast, which released Part 1 of the two-part chat on Tuesday morning. Durant said he believes the Thunder's front office wasn't "ready," after the team's run to the 2012 Finals, which came before the now-unfortunate trade of James Harden (benefiting the Rockets).
