Durant Brings Little Drama to His Game?
And yet, if I’m honest, if there were no stat sheet, I’d have guessed (Kevin) Durant had about 25 for the game.
That’s how it goes when I watch the NBA’s best scorer. He always has more points than I think he does. Every time I notice him on offense, he’s doing something professional, unfussy and slick. But often he’s so professional, unfussy and slick that the bucket is scored before anything about the play has really registered.
The Finals are the NBA’s biggest stage. And stages were built to show drama.
And while Durant brings tons of great basketball, one of the secrets of his game is that he brings very little drama.
