NBA Stars Team Up

The NBA is a league that has the world's best basketball players.

When the new season begins this fall, many of these NBA stars will be on different teams.

For example, Kevin Durant was a member of the Golden State Warriors, which won multiple championships in recent years.

In June, however, Durant joined a new team, the Brooklyn Nets.

Meanwhile, Kawhi Leonard won the championship last season with the Toronto Raptors.

But he decided to leave the Canadian team to play for the Los Angeles Clippers.

Durant and Leonard are not going to their new teams alone.

Instead, they convinced other top players to join them.

This way, they are creating new superstar teams.

Other star players want to remain competitive, too.

However, they know it is difficult to win championships by themselves.

So, they are changing teams and joining forces.
