While Mark Cuban and Mavericks fans will be forever grateful that Kevin Durant bolted Oklahoma City for Golden State last summer, I am only partially coming around on Durant's unfortunate decision to jump ship.
I still think -- and I don't believe there is any real debate on this -- the game was better served by Durant remaining with the Thunder and extending a great rivalry in the Western Conference. But I will give him this.
If the Warriors, now 12-0 and finals-bound, can complete an unbeaten run through the postseason, Durant will be recognized as a huge part of what some will call the best playoff team of all time.
