NBA superstars LeBron James and Kevin Durant met for the first time since 2018 on Thursday night, and they didn’t disappoint.
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James and Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant played against each other on Thursday for the first time in nearly five years. LOS ANGELES — LeBron James and Kevin Durant dueled like the good old days, finally reprising a rivalry that had been dormant since 2018.
James and Durant have been at it so long that the chapters blur together. Officially, they have combined for six championships, six Finals MVPs, 14 Finals appearances, five MVPs and five scoring titles, plus they teamed up to win gold at the 2012 Olympics.
The last time James and Durant met was Christmas Day in 2018: James had just signed with the Lakers that summer, and Durant was in his third and final season with the Warriors. Los Angeles hadn’t yet traded for Anthony Davis or won the 2020 title. Durant hadn’t yet suffered a career-altering Achilles’ tear in the 2019 Finals or fled the Bay Area for the Brooklyn Nets, much less forced his way to the Suns. No one had a clue that a pandemic was coming.
