Zach Lowe, in an extensive appreciation of KD’s present and future, points out that yes, indeed, there was a big risk back then but an even bigger reward now.

But to get there, the Bucks will probably have to win another game without the two-time MVP, who’s listed as “doubtful” for Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals in Atlanta on Saturday (8:30 ET, TNT).
