There were many twists and turns in the playoffs. He struggled in the game against the Denver Nuggets, and in the Final Indiana Pacers, it was a bloody battle to the seventh game. However, he finally won the championship ring.
The NBA is an era of chaos. The winning teams have all been different in the last seven seasons.
2023 champion Denver Nuggets, 2024 Boston Celtics and 2025 Oklahoma City.
However, Oklahoma's strength has a different impact. Denver was strong around Nikola Jokic, but lacked the rest of the players. Boston was considered a strong favorite this season, but Jason Tatum suffered an Achilles tendon injury.
Next season Boston is far from the favorite. The same goes for Indiana. Tyreece Halliburton suffered an Achilles tendon injury in Game 7. Indiana is also one step away from the championship.
However, Oklahoma is still strong. Shai Gilzer Alexander, Jaylon Williams and Chet Hommegren survived until the end of this season, perfectly acquiring experience, which was their only weakness. Besides, they are all young.
It is still strong even without any power reinforcement this summer. Oklahoma still has numerous rookie draft rights.
Kevin Durant opted to go to the Houston Rockets. Houston is a strong team that ranked second in the West this season. He has good newcomers, including Alferen Sengun and Fred VanVleet. Organizational strength and objective power are good.
There were weaknesses in jump shots and shot creation, and Durant can definitely fill this Achilles tendon. The power itself has been upgraded.
However, Houston's chance of winning is second overall. It's a great figure, but the problem is that Oklahoma City is ranked first.
CBS Sports published an article on the 24th (Korea time) under the title of '5 Threats that Can Stop the Oklahoma City Dynasty.'
It was an interesting topic. The result was also unexpected. Nikola Jokic was fourth in the Oklahoma dynastic threat. He was the best player in the league. There is a presence that can bring down the Oklahoma stronghold. By the way, it only came in fourth place. Third place was injury, and second place was Victor Wembanya. He's a monster rookie. He is the absolute ace of the San Antonio Spurs. San Antonio is running towards Win Now, with Wembley at the center. Oklahoma is the most threatening of the future.
The problem is that it came in second place.
Chaos was the most important factor. In short, it is the confusion that is brewing in the NBA. The chaos includes injuries, trades and three-pointers that ushered in an era of win-loss uncertainty.
