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.

We're trying something new at @nytimes: "The Backstory," a newsletter digging into Times journalism and decision-making. We also talk to critics and skeptics of The Times in a segment called "Sound Off." You can read our first edition here: nytimes.com/2026/10/15/insid…

Really enjoyed catching up with @CyroAsseo for @hoopshype
For @hoopshype, I spoke to @Jpdabrams about his new book “When We Were Young and Fearless,” why the Thunder would have won a title if they kept Durant, Westbrook & Harden together, the Tyson Chandler what-if, Sam Presti’s evolution, trio’s legacy & more:

One month from pub day.
Before the superteams, MVPs, and trades, three 20-somethings in OKC built the blueprint for the modern NBA.
Deep reporting, hours of interviews, and the inside story of Kevin, Russell, James, and the team that reshaped the league.

Every chapter in WHEN WE WERE YOUNG AND FEARLESS is named after a direct quote from the interviews—from OKC's 2012 Finals run to shocking trades and free agency shifts.
Here’s the full chapter list. Which one catches your eye?

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.

Sat down with Kadeem Hardison to discuss 'A Different World,' Dwayne Wayne and returning to Hillman decades later for Netflix. He also relayed some incredible Michael Jordan stories from that era.
