The deed is done. The era is over. Kevin Durant, who arrived in Phoenix to thunderous fanfare and championship dreams, departs just as he came: through a blockbuster trade. He leaves behind one of the purest shooting strokes the game has ever seen, and a legacy that will forever be dissected, debated, and defined differently depending on who you ask.
Legacy. It’s the word that sparks barbershop arguments and floods group chats. Pull up Durant’s Basketball Reference page, and it reads like a Hall of Fame formality: two titles, two Finals MVPs, a league MVP, countless All-NBA and All-Star honors.
