What if OKC had kept Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, and James Harden?
Excited to announce my next book, WHEN WE WERE YOUNG AND FEARLESS, coming 11/3—a deep dive into the trio that reshaped the NBA.

Also KD back then: slept on an air mattress in his former teammates apt during summer school at UT after he was already an NBA player. Took the Mega Bus from NYC to DC after scoring 66 points at Rucker Park.
In 2009, Kevin Durant drove me around OKC for an @nytimes story.
He went unrecognized at an airport pitstop and later went to a rookie James Harden’s house to play video games.
Few knew they’d reshape the NBA.

The Wire ended 18 yrs ago today. It’s been taught in Ivy League schools, law schools & film schools. David Simon was interviewed by a sitting president about its lasting impact. Cited in a State Supreme Court ruling. Often hailed by critics as the best ever. Never won an Emmy.
