The Kevin Durant era in Phoenix Suns history could go down as its most memorable. At the very, very least, it is as anticipated as any sporting event in the Valley.
Durant is a bonafide superstar. He might be the best player to ever play for an Arizona sports franchise (the Phoenix Mercury’s Diana Taurasi is arguably the best player in WNBA history, but we’re looking at Arizona’s major four teams here).
Suns fans were quick to receive Durant two weeks ago, when he was introduced to the team by owner Mat Ishbia and general manager James Jones, who were able to pull off a blockbuster trade for Durant that unfortunately – for Suns fans – saw team icon Mikal Bridges and even a beloved Cam Johnson leave town.
