From the archives: Kevin Durant savors getting the better of LeBron James

NBA JERSEYS

This 2017 Golden State Warriors championship was as much a tribute to LeBron James as it was a triumph over him. The fact that the Warriors needed to add Kevin Durant to the core of a team that won 73 regular-season games and pushed James to the brink of elimination in the 2016 NBA Finals was just as relevant as the compulsion Durant felt to join this team in order to get a ring. It's not as simple as "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em." When Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder blew a 3-1 lead of their own to the Warriors in the 2016 Western Conference finals, Durant had still won two more games against Stephen Curry than he did against James the first time they squared off…

How the Broncos have addressed their needs at cornerback

NFL JERSEYS
