Joining the Warriors after the 2016 NBA Finals loss, Kevin Durant was seen as the missing piece in Golden State’s team. Durant, like the Warriors, had a vendetta against LeBron James, losing to The Heat in the 2012 NBA Finals. Durant spent the next five years on a failing Oklahoma City team, hoping to get back to the Finals and prove his worth.

When the rematch finally came for Durant, he was legendary. Not only did he win Finals MVP, he also shot the game-winning three-pointer over LeBron James. After the game, Durant called it a “passing the torch” moment. We wonder if the two will talk about it this year as LeBron tries to take the torch back.
