Hello and welcome to the Wenger NBA show. This is a special edition. My name is Chris Ryan,

and I think that these guys have done a great job finding new ways to kind of look at it and

part of that is you know Kevin Durant helps. So thanks Kevin Durant. So without further ado,

let's just get right into it and talk to Jonathan Charx about Kevin Durant.

So now I'm joined by the Ringer's Jonathan Charx who's going to talk to me a little bit about his

piece on Kevin Durant. I was kind of thinking about this because the Cavs in the Warriors have played

now three times in a row or going to play three times in a row of the finals. There's a flattening
