Can Kevin Durant please get some help?
What was originally pitched as a superteam for the ages has devolved into largely a one-man band, with Durant currently carrying a crew that has no Kyrie Irving and a seriously diminished James Harden. But such conditions are no matter to Durant. The two-time champion is playing the best basketball of his career after tearing his Achilles, with a 51-point effort against the Pistons on Sunday marking the highlight of his season. As Stephen Curry sprints out to the MVP lead, perhaps his former teammate is less far behind than we may think.
