Wanda Durant’s Comment on House of Highlight’s Post / October
Many NBA fans will likely enjoy seeing Wanda’s comment because Durant (and LeBron James) are two of the most notable players in NBA history.
They have faced off three times in the NBA Finals (Durant has a 2-1 record).
That said, LeBron has a 23-17 record in their 40 total matchups.

Bronny was the 55th pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, but there will continue to be a lot of eyes on him due to the historic achievement of getting to play with his father.
He finished the preseason with averages of 4.2 points and 1.7 rebounds per contest while shooting 29.7% from the field in six games.
The Lakers went 2-4.
