From 2017 to 2019, James Harden wasn’t just great; he was inevitable. Every time he stepped on the floor for Houston, it felt like the game was already tilted in his favor.

Forty-point explosions came so often they barely made headlines. Opponents studied him, schemed for him, even threw out the wildest defensive ideas just to slow him down… and still, nothing worked.

Donatas Motiejunas saw it firsthand. The slippery footwork, the sudden change of pace, the step-back three that broke a defender’s spirit before the ball even hit the net.

Coaches would rather force him into a wall of big men than let him rise up from deep, because once Harden got to his spot, it was already over.

For two straight seasons, “The Beard” was basketball’s unsolvable puzzle. No scheme, no matchup, no game plan could crack him.

He didn’t just score on you, he made you feel helpless while he did it.

Call Kevin Durant the “greatest scorer ever” and you might think you’re giving him a compliment, but he sees it differently.

“30k points on low field goal attempts… I don’t care about being the best scorer ever. You’re diminishing my all-time greatness by calling me that,” KD fired back after fans debated his place in NBA history.

Durant’s résumé speaks for itself: 17 seasons, 2 championships, 4 scoring titles, 8th all-time in points. At 6’11”, he’s an impossible matchup, deadly from deep, automatic in the mid-range, and elite at finishing at the rim. But for KD, his legacy is about more than buckets. He’s a playmaker, a rebounder, a defender, and a winner in multiple systems.

Now gearing up for his first season with the Rockets, Durant isn’t chasing the “best scorer” crown. He’s chasing something bigger, proving that his greatness can’t be put in a box.

The Dream was simply on another level.

Hakeem Olajuwon redefined what a big man could be, not just on offense, but on defense.

He was a force of nature in the paint, a master of footwork and timing who could single-handedly shut down an opponent's entire offense.

It's no surprise that he is one of only two players in NBA history to record over 2,000 steals and 2,000 blocks in their careers.

He was a ball-hawk, a defensive savant who could read plays and disrupt passing lanes with the fluidity of a guard.

His blend of size, speed, and intellect on the defensive end of the floor is a feat that may never be replicated.

Kevin Durant's next chapter might be more complicated than you think.

The Houston Rockets made a massive splash to get Kevin Durant, but it appears they're not going to be handing him a blank check.

According to a report from Tim MacMahon, the franchise isn't in a rush to offer him a max contract extension.

While many assumed a max deal was a given, it seems the Rockets are playing the long game with their cap sheet and young core.

It's a calculated risk with a superstar on an expiring deal, but their confidence is telling. MacMahon's full quote puts it into perspective:

"They wouldn’t panic if they went into the season with Durant on the expiring contract he’s on."

Will this contract negotiation loom over the season, or will KD prove his value so unequivocally that the Rockets have no choice but to pay up?
