Kevin Durant can cement NBA legacy by leading undermanned Nets to series win over Bucks

The season is on the line. Plain and simple, Brooklyn needs to protect with home court against a Bucks squad bubbling with confidence and it will need to do so without Kyrie Irving and James Harden in Game 5. Durant has received heavy criticism in recent years for joining a super team in Golden and then starting one of his own in Brooklyn, but with his supporting stars now o, KD will have no other choice but to shoulder the scoring, playmaking and leadership load for his team. Even in Oklahoma City, Durant had Russell Westbrook alongside him to provide all-star punch. Durant is hardly the facilitator that Irving is certainly Harden is, but can he rally his group in the face of real adversity to stave off the prospect of facing elimination? Clearly, Durant won't be able to do it all on his own as the bench and supporting players will need to ride the energy of the home crowd to try and push Brooklyn over the top. Durant's legacy has been somewhat in question due to him adopting if you can't beat them, then join them mentality, but a win in Game 5 would go a long way in earning the respect of even the most critical NBA fan.
