Even the Bucks didn’t believe they were going to win that series 😂 (SWIPE)

Durant: Game 1: 29 PTS, 10 REB, 3 AST
Game 2: 32 PTS, 4 REB, 6 AST
Game 3: 30 PTS, 10 REB, 5 AST
Game 4: 28 PTS, 13 REB, 5 AST
Game 5: 49 PTS, 17 REB, 10 AST, 48 MIN
Game 6: 32 PTS, 11 REB, 3 AST
Game 7: 48 PTS, 9 REB, 6 AST, 53 MIN

Jeff Teague wasn’t the only one who thought it. A lot of players around the league believed the 2021 Nets were on their way to a championship. Even the Bucks knew what they were up against. PJ Tucker was one of the toughest defenders in the NBA, and he spent that entire series throwing everything he had at Kevin Durant. The trash talk, the physicality, the face guarding, the bumps, the shoves—it didn’t matter. KD was still cooking.

What makes that series legendary is that Durant was doing it with almost no room for error. Kyrie got hurt. Harden was playing on one leg. Every possession felt like Milwaukee was loading up their entire defense just to stop one man. Yet KD still averaged nearly 35 points per game and was one shoe size away from ending the Bucks’ season in Game 7.

That’s why players still talk about that run with so much respect. PJ Tucker made life miserable for everybody he guarded, but even he couldn’t stop KD. He could only make the shots a little harder. And somehow, Durant kept making them anyway. 🐍🔥
