From one great to another, Kevin Durant didn't hesitate to acknowledge LeBron's game

Five long years passed before the Lakers star LeBron James and the great Kevin Durant were able to have a face-off in an NBA official game, as injuries and other issues separated the fans to witness a new chapter in that rivalry.

Kevin Durant tried to carry a team without Devin Booker and Bradley Beal against LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and the LA Lakers, for the first three quarters he was successful but his team couldn't close the game effectively.

LeBron led his team alongside Anthony Davis to their first win of the 2023-24 season, now have a 1-1 record which isn't bad as they faced two of the strongest rivals in the West in the first two contests.

While Kevin Durant scored 39 points this Thursday night, it wasn't enough to help his team win, because, on the other side of the court, his rival was LeBron James. Afterward, Durant noted that James led not just by example but also by coaching his teammates. “He was pretty much coaching the team on how to guard certain actions,” said Durant. “… It’s always a battle playing high IQ players like that.”
