Kevin Durant: Upcoming Season Opener & Past Finals MVP Insights

Kevin Durant is set to open the season with the Houston Rockets on October 21, facing his former team, the Oklahoma City Thunder, who will be raising their championship banner. This high-profile matchup will feature the top two Western Conference seeds from last season. Former Golden State Warriors teammate Quinn Cook recently revealed that Durant had strongly desired for Steph Curry to win the 2018 NBA Finals MVP. Despite this, Durant ultimately won the award 'accidentally' after a crucial 43-point performance in Game 3 when Curry struggled, helping the Warriors secure a narrow victory.
