More on this storyline
Clearly, most of today’s players agree with Durant’s take. “You know how it works,” Curry told The Athletic. “Sometimes, a narrative starts, and everybody starts to kind of feed into it, not actually come in with an informed kind of perspective. And if you’re not watching from night to night to night, and you kind of swan dive in and watch a game, you can say ‘Oh, yeah, this is different than my dad’s, or my parents’ NBA.’ “Yeah, it’s evolved. (But) the nuance of the game is still there. IQ still matters.” -via New York Times / April 1, 2025
