Bittersweet realization hits Kevin Durant after Bronny James’ NBA wounds deepen against the Suns

In the last meeting of the preseason, the Phoenix Suns and Kevin Durant battled hard but were unable to defeat the Los Angeles Lakers. It was a classic competition between stars. Anthony Davis and James went head-to-head against KD and Devin Booker. Just like back then, the Slim Reaper and his eternal rival faced each other. But that just wasn’t LeBron James. Durant, at age 36, faced off against LeBron James and his 20-year-old son Bronny.

The Akron Hammer took a break in the overtime thriller. But with his blood involved, a fight between Durant and James became inevitable. During one possession, the USC product deftly cut to the basket, only to be met by the former MVP’s wiry arms. The moment the foul was called, the Suns’ captivating forward couldn’t understand the decision.

But that was the least of the shocking realizations he would have that day. A fan on Instagram shared a thought: “KD blocking LeBron’s son IN an NBA game sounds crazy…” Previously, Durant hadn’t thought enough about this moment. His longevity is starting to be just as amazing as that of his NBA rival. As he reacted to his match against Bronny James, he had a feeling on his mind. “Damn, I’m old.” he wrote in response.

Now he’s a grown man and in the same circle as him in the NBA. As absurd as it is to think that LeBron James is playing with his son, it is equally ridiculous to calculate how Durant has remained in the top tier of players for so long.
