In a blockbuster move that shocked the NBA world, superstar Kevin Durant joined the Phoenix Suns. Durant joining hands with superstar Devin Booker has brought an enormous sense of excitement to the fan base.

However, the fans expect Durant’s arrival to change the course of the team for the best. Furthermore, the city is full of excitement and bouncing because of the Super Bowl fever and all the fans flooding the city in the past few days. However, Booker was apparently a bit annoyed.

Can Kevin Durant turn the Suns into contenders?

Kevin Durant was welcomed with both arms by his teammates and the people of Arizona. It is no secret that Durant can turn any team’s fortunes in the league. Also, the two-time NBA champion is aging like fine wine. At 34, KD is averaging close to 30 points per game and doing it so effortlessly with a career-high field goal percentage of 55.9 this season.

Moreover, the Slim Reaper’s addition will not hamper Devin Booker’s share of the ball because Durant can efficiently play as a catch-and-shoot player for most of the game. Furthermore, he will bring much-required title-winning experience to the young team which fell short in the 2021 NBA Finals against the Milwaukee Bucks.
