The Phoenix Suns fall to 0-2 after a 97-87 Game 2 loss to the Denver Nuggets. With Chris Paul’s groin injury and facing a hot Nuggets team, more pressure lies on Kevin Durant, whose reputation is still recovering after joining, then leaving the Golden State Warriors for Kyrie Irving and the Brooklyn Nets. Nick Wright dives into the history of superteams, including why building around a star is the smarter move and why LeBron James’ legacy is safe. Nick and Diorra decide what will save KD’s legacy: avoiding yet another sweep early in the playoffs.

Win or lose to the Nuggets, what is Kevin Durant's legacy?
Wait.. hasn’t lebron be swept twice??
KD’s legacy right now is that of a fantastic player and one of the most versatile and skilled scorers to ever grace the game, and he’ll go down as certainly a top 20 all time guy once he retires. But the fact is he has not won a championship anywhere outside of 2 seasons with the greatest collection of talent in NBA history on a team that had proven they could win a title before and after him and had beaten him H2H in the playoffs. We’ll never forget Lebron and Steph from this generation, they’ll live on forever as icons of this game and the 2 best of this generation. A lot of people put KD in that level. But if KD gets swept again this year and never makes another finals, will he be remembered like that in 20 years? I don’t think so.
So this is what has become of Durant's legacy??? Just dont get swept…
Didn't it work for the 2008 Celtics? Getting garnett and Ray Allen to go w pierce. That was a super team it worked with.
Let’s be very clear, KD won because of Steph and not the other way around. Do not get it twisted. KD is hot garbage without Steph.
Put Jokić in KD shoes and talk with that energy,just imagine Jokić switching tims more then i change underwear…
Heat already won with wade before lebron joined, that one doesn't count
Boston 2008
Booker will make sure Durant doesn’t get swept
KD getting swept back to back years to a team that golden state will beat (Boston and Denver) will only make him look like a bus rider
Stop jumping from team to team every Season trying to catch 'lightning in a bottle' and fabricating a Championship in the span of one Season. Take the time to put a REAL Team together, learn how to play as a cohesive unit without all of the Egoes, and stay F'n HEALTHY. That's how to win the whole magilla!
Only legit "Super Teams" of the decade are Heat, Warriors and Nets. No other team has been super.
Nick’s ability to make any kind of conversation about LeBron is astonishing.
"The team hopping superstar path really only works for Lebron". Absolutely false, KD won 2 of 3 (and would have won 3 if healthy) in Golden State. Nets with KD/Harden/Kyrie win it ALL if that team is healthy. There is what should have been 4 championships in the past 8 years right there. "Injuries are apart of the game", sure and if I'm a GM I'll take my chances with KD, Curry, Klay and KD, Kyrie, and Harden ANYDAY of the week, over not having those players. You cannot measure success always by outcomes. Another false narrative by yours truly, Nick Wright.
To say KD with Booker and Aton with CP3 is not a super team, is basically saying warriors are not super team. Cause literally they are smaller is size but they are good shooter. Where as the suns, they got the D, the athleticism, the height, talents and pass. Im disappointed Nick.
