Kevin Durant: A true Warrior

It seems like only yesterday when Kevin Durant left OKC to join the Dubs, thus making him one of the most hated figures in the NBA. I’m Scott Jay Abraham and I still remember it. The season before that, the Dubs though making history, winning 73 games in the regular season, would suffer the most heartbreaking of losses at the hands of Kyrie Irving in the dying seconds of the last game of the NBA Finals.

Durant’s arrival though all but assured a championship for the Dubs. However, it only wasn’t a championship. Today, the Dubs are on a quest for a three-peat. While they aren’t as invincible as they seemed when KD first arrived, they’re still top dog in the league.

KD is a huge part of the Dubs’ success. With Steph Curry, the greatest shooter of all-time, at the helm, and Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala defending oppositions’ stars, KD spearheads the offense alongside Klay Thompson. It’s one of the most formidable line-ups since the second Bulls team of the ‘90s.

At a shade below seven feet, with the moves of a shooting guard, KD is almost impossible to defend. Just ask the Cavs, who KD buried twice in the Finals with two daggers on separate occasions.
While people may question his intentions, KD has delivered two banners to the city that I love. And for me, that makes him a true Warrior.

This is Scott Jay Abraham, signing out.
