Break glass in case of Legacy Game! Yes, that’s right, I’m declaring a Legacy Game for Kevin Durant tonight. 

Kevin Durant is already one of the greatest players the NBA has ever seen. This series will not change that. However, KD is a player who is very aware of the league’s history and his place in it. He knows he’s not viewed as one of the all-time greats because, unlike players like Michael Jordan, LeBron James, and his former teammate Steph Curry, he hasn’t led a team to an NBA title (with Golden State, he was seen as a piece of a super team after joining a squad that had already won without him).

Things aren’t looking good for him at the moment. After pushing for a move to Phoenix when the Brooklyn thing fell apart, the Suns find themselves in a 2-0 hole without Chris Paul. Truthfully, not having Paul isn’t as big of a deal as it may have been a couple of years ago, but still, symbolically, this is the moment Durant hopes for.
