We press on with our ranking of the Phoenix Suns, and the first chapter is officially etched in stone. It was a tight race, a photo finish, a toss-up between brilliance and burden. But when the dust finally settled, Kevin Durant stood alone at the top, earning 49% of the vote. Call it reputation. Call it gravity. Call it the cold, stubborn truth of a season where excellence was rare and leadership even rarer.
Durant was still that guy. The best of the bunch. KD Stans everywhere, rejoice!
Here’s where we are so far.
