The one-two punch in the NBA

The 2016/17 season was the most efficient of Kevin Durant's NBA career so far, as he scored on almost 54% of his shots and became a much more rounded player overall, using his off-the-ball movement, smooth shooting and great court awareness to fit in seamlessly with the system played by the Warriors under Steve Kerr.

He was able to make himself an integral part of an offence that already featured two great talents in the form of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, making Golden State into an offensive juggernaut that teams had no answer to.
