Stephen A Smith and Kevin Durant
Kevin Durant is one of the best players ever to compete in the NBA. His professional career is certainly worth examining. Through 9 seasons in OKC, he helped the Oklahoma City Thunder get close to winning a title. However, 2 Western Conference trips and a Finals appearance were the most he could get with them.
He signed with the Warriors before heading off to the Brooklyn Nets to try and create his own legacy. Now, he is with the Phoenix Suns, but his tenure in Phoenix has not been great. Regarding this, NBA analyst Stephen A. Smith made a bold claim regarding Durant.
Smith recently was full of praise regarding Durant on his YouTube channel, The Stephen A Smith Show. In addition, Smith claimed that he would cry on ‘national television’ if Durant were to play for his favorite NBA team. That is the New York Knicks. Smith is a longtime Knicks fan and wishes his side sign Durant in the upcoming Trade market.
Before the deadline, Durant was the focus of trade rumors, but the Suns decided against moving him. It hasn’t been any better this season. The Suns are now 26-29, two games below the Golden State Warriors for the last Play-In Tournament place and the No. 10 seed. However, if the Suns had begun shopping for Durant, that does not guarantee that he will be with them next season.
When the upcoming season begins, Durant will be 37 years old. Furthermore, Smith claimed that Durant’s physique defies his age. This was because of his Achilles injury, which kept him off the court for 18 months in 2019–2020. It remains to be seen what happens with Durant’s future in the upcoming months.
Stephen A. Smith had a huge compliment for Kevin Durant on First Take
Kevin Durant continues to defy Father Time in his NBA career. The star has been performing relentlessly for the Suns’ side over the last few years. However, he has not succeeded all these years, causing doubts about his future. Notably, Stephen A. Smith made a huge comment reading Durant on a recent segment of the First Take Show.
Everybody looks at Kevin Durant being 35-36 years of age. You need to chop a year and a half off of that because of the time he was out with the Achilles injury. His body is not that worn. The brother is looking better now than he did when he was younger. Kevin Durant is averaging 27.3 PPG since his Achilles tear.
