Every piece the desk filed on Kevin Durant, newest first.

The address is a pointer rather than a piece of writing. Its job is to put the 3 pieces that carry the label “Kevin Durant” in one place and in one order, newest first, so that a reader who arrives from a search for the name is not left guessing what else is here.
Everything on the list was filed in 2014, 2015 and 2016. The dates under the headlines are the dates the pieces went up and they have not been touched since: an archive that quietly re-dates itself is worth less than one that admits how old it is.
New work on this side of the site goes to Opinion rather than onto names like this one. The desk carries 70 pieces, and the section index lists the other seven with their counts.
It is worth being clear about what is absent. No ratings, no recommendations, no ordering by quality, and no note telling you which of the pieces below still holds up. Those judgements belong in the writing, and where one of them turned out to be wrong it is said on the piece itself.
Through 48 games this season, the Brooklyn Nets sport a dismal 12-36 record, thus flushing my (apparently delusional) hopes for an eighth seed playoff berth down the metaphorical toilet.
