Game 1 of the NBA Finals is Thursday evening, and what happens between the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers will dominate the basketball world over the next couple weeks.

After that, the NBA news cycle will revolve entirely around Kevin Durant's free agency and what the Oklahoma City Thunder star plans to do.

Durant said the other day the two most important factors for him are "being around great people [and] being in a great basketball environment."

That obviously leaves his options open. Durant says he'll consult a small inner circle, but if he's looking for some advice from someone who knows what it's like to be a megastar in the NBA and also once considered looking for a new team, Kobe Bryant is here to help.
