This Is Why Its Championship Or Bust For The Phoenix

Why Its a Championship or bust for the Phoenix Suns. two weeks ago when Kevin Durant was traded to the Phoenix Suns they overnight shot up to be one of the favorites to win the NBA championship. But is that reason to say that it is a championship or Bust for them? I know Kevin Durant hasn't even played a single game in a Phoenix Suns jersey and already here I am talking about them making the NBA final. But Someone has to talk about it because of the importance it has on the legacies of Chris Paul and Kevin Durant. Chris Paul has been in the NBA for 18 years and has never won a championship, He has been in the NBA longer than some of my viewers have been alive. Chris Paul has come close to winning a championship though like two years ago when he went to the NBA finals but ultimately lost to the Milwaukee Bucks, and he has also been on really good teams over the years that have given him many chances to legitimately make a push for the championship teams like the 2015 Los Angeles Clippers who lost to the Golden State Warriors when they were on their rise to become a dynasty. Also in 2018, the Houston Rockets featured Chris Paul and that team was one of the best teams in NBA history they finished with 67 wins on the season and took the Kevin Durant-led Warriors to seven games in the Western Conference that year. so Chris paul has had his chances but time and time again he has fallen short. And then there is Kevin Durant's Legacy, like Chris Paul he has been in the league for a long time, but his career history isn't the prettiest, the two championships that he has to his name he only has cause he was carried by the warriors and although Kevin Durant might say that's not true and point to his NBA finals MVP as proof, I would argue he only got there because he was on a stacked team. The narrative around Kevin Durant is that he needs Steph Curry to win and he needs a super team to win, cause Steph Curry has proved that he can win without Kevin Durant, he just won the NBA finals MVP last year and Kevin Durant just joined another super team yet again. He was just on a super team with Kyrie Irving and James Harden and it didn't work out. because of that the pressure is on him to win a championship with this team. cause if he doesn't it will not look good for his legacy. Because he would have played with great players such as Russell Westbrook, James Harden, Kyrie Irving, Devin Booker, Chris Paul, and DeAndre Ayton and would've had nothing to show for it. so because of that, it is championship or bust.
