Kevin Durant knows a thing or two about building super teams.Remember when he was vilified for leaving the Oklahoma City Thunder to join a Golden State Warriors team that had just gone 73-9? Or when he joined Kyrie Irving with the Brooklyn Nets, who traded for James Harden one season later?Durant does.And the now-Houston Rockets forward sees similarities in LeBron James joining a Philadelphia 76ers team already loaded with All-NBA talent in Jaylen Brown, Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid.Speaking at a USA Basketball Foundation charity event in Southern California on Saturday, Durant was asked whether he believes James and the 76ers are now legitimate title contenders.“For sure,” Durant responded incredulously. “You don’t think so? Last time they put three 20-point scorers on a team, they said it was unfair, which was the team I was on. (The 76ers) have got four 25-point scorers on this team. So, hell yeah, I think they’re going to be a contender.“They’re going to be a fun team to watch. It’s going to be League Pass-worthy, TNT-worthy, man. … I can’t wait to see it.”
