Wonder if Jack was an influence getting KD to want to play in Phoenix?

no need to even dig that deep. Monty assistant coached KD in OKC, and KD was very sad when Monty's late wife had her accident.

Anyone else thinks KD kinda looks like Don Ramon from El Chavo?

I would see that after six rings, Durant will sign the veteran minimum and take the seventh ring with the Suns and pass Jordan and become the best basketball player of all time. :nod:

Booker did the same gesture to the crowd. I think KD and Booker are a good match off the court. Now let's see it on the court.

His length next to DA's is going to bother people. Every young big KD has played with in recent years has benefited i.e. Allen, Claxton, etc. etc.

I swear to God if DA doesn't take advantage of KD being here I am personally going to run him out of town myself. :lol:

Can lineup CP3, Book, Durant, Ayton and Bismack work in the finals against Giannis?

How did you get excess to KD presser? Add you part of the media or something?

It actually might but I don’t think Monty will ever use that lineup even in regular season. But that lineup would give Giannis trouble scoring inside would be difficult for any team given Biz & Ayton would defend perfectly down low.

I wonder if KD goes to all star game, or if team spends time in gym in phx instead of vacationing to work on the play book

I was wondering the same but I am guessing they stay in Phx and work. It's basically probably like a vacation for KD anyway, moving from Brooklyn to Phx in February, plus Booker is still working his way back and others.

It's at Footprint center. Guessing everyone just watches on the big screen.
Suns site "sold" them 2 days ago. I got 2 out of excitement but I heard it's sold out and since I live 2000 miles away I would rather someone be able to use them

I imagine he'll be there to be introduced, despite not playing. They've done it in the past.
I also don't think the team stays in Phoenix to work. Not all week at least. Maybe they come back 2-3 days early. The break is important for them.

Could be wrong but he is not going to Utah. Similar to last year, he will probably stay in Phoenix to rehab and prepare for the stretch run. He wanted to play but he won’t hang around if he can’t play.
