Rockets + KD = Title Favorites? Stephen A. Goes Bold | First Take

🔥 On First Take, Stephen A. Smith makes a bold prediction — the Houston Rockets will win the NBA championship next season with Kevin Durant on the roster.

He calls the Rockets a “strong contender” in the West, citing their explosive youth, defensive versatility, and now the elite scoring of KD. With rising stars like Jalen Green, Amen Thompson, and Alperen Şengün, the addition of Durant could be the missing piece that makes Houston unstoppable.

Is Houston truly ready to go from rebuild to championship run? The First Take crew debates what KD brings, how the Rockets stack up in the West, and whether Stephen A. has a point.
