Yuck.

Every single one of these, the team trading Norman Powell was worse off for it.

So shout out to Norman Powell.

I don't know that this is a particularly hot trade.

Maybe it's just more just an observation.

I just think it's fundamentally true.

I think Kevin Durant is the most underappreciated star of this era, or maybe of any era.

And it has to do with the decisions he made, right?

Okay, thank you.

He is.

We have the Oklahoma City representative sitting next to me.

So the fact that he left OKC to go to Golden State, the fact that he decided to leave Golden State to go to Brooklyn and force his way from Brooklyn to Phoenix, and then...

Was that Phoenix or KD or both that are responsible for him landing in Houston?

When KD moves to sixth on the all-time scoring list a week or so ago, passing Dirk Nowitzki,

I felt like this wasn't as celebrated or it wasn't as big of a moment as it should have been.

And there's a lot of different things that go into that.

And some of this is self-made by KD, but to me, it's a little bit of a tragic aspect of his career.

That because you don't have one place that you firmly planted, you don't have any one fan base that's going to seriously...

cheer for you and give you all the adulation for like, oh my God, this is a major career milestone.

Like the only guys ahead of him now in all-time career scoring are LeBron, Kareem, Karl Malone, Kobe, and MJ.
