Phoenix Suns news: When it comes to the Top 3 biggest names in the NBA today, it’s hard to argue that LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant have to be on top of the list.
There are more than a few more names that you could throw into the mix depending on where you’re sitting but at the end of the day, LeBron, Steph, and KD are the elder statesmen that have dominated the league through the years.
Phoenix Suns News: Kevin Durant Voal on NBA Big 3
This was the exact question Durant was faced with in a recent interview. The Suns star acknowledged the fact that he, along with James and Curry remain on top of the food chain. At the same time, however, the former NBA MVP argued that the notion of the “Big 3” is no longer as appropriate in today’s NBA:
“You can say LeBron, Steph, myself. NBA is different, no big threes. It’s like a big thirty… But the three oldest that’s still like playing at a high level [are] me, Bron, and Steph,” KD said.
I see no lies here.
Soon enough, Durant, LeBron, and Curry will need to relinquish their crowns. The youngest among this elite trio is Durant, who is going to be 36 this season. It’s only a matter of time before all three are no longer in the league.
As KD implied with his comments above, however, there’s no denying that the NBA is in good hands.
