If there were any doubts surrounding Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant's recovery from his Achilles injury, they can finally be silenced.

In a preseason matchup against the Celtics, Kevin Durant showed his explosiveness with a couple of dunks attacking the basket.

What's even more impressive about the two dunks is that they came naturally in the flow of the game. These weren't uncontested dunks where you have extra time to prepare to elevate. Durant is finishing above the rim with ease as if he hadn't sustained an injury at all. Not to mention that one of the dunks was in the third quarter. Durability doesn't seem to be an issue so far for the Nets star either.

Durant's first step looks just as quick as it did pre-injury and his ability to rise up and finish above the rim still remains.

What does this mean?

This means that Brooklyn is the most dangerous team in the Eastern Conference.

There were reserves about the Nets going into 2021 because it was uncertain how Durant would bounce back from such a devastating injury. Not to jump the gun here, but Durant looks like he's perfectly healthy and ready to dominate the NBA again.

A healthy Durant is the best scorer in the NBA, maybe even the best scorer ever. Durant can score from anywhere on the floor in any way you want him too and he can score in bunches.

Adding Durant to a roster that is already a playoff team makes the Nets one of the best teams in the entire NBA.
