Many fans may argue that Kevin Durant’s CV lacks enough accomplishments to place him among the game’s finest. The Phoenix Suns great achieved the majority of his accomplishments while playing for the Dub Nation.
Kevin Durant, recognized as one of the best NBA players of all time, has won two championships with the Golden State Warriors. This is in addition to the NBA Most Valuable Player Award, two Finals MVP Awards, two NBA All-Star Game MVP Awards, four NBA scoring crowns, and the NBA Rookie of the Year Award. However, fans still do not place him in the same league as the iconic Michael Jordan or LeBron James.
Durant was chatting with Duane Rankin of the Arizona Republic, who had asked him why he isn’t more frequently included in the NBA’s greatest of all time (GOAT) discourse. He responded:
When Durant chose to depart from the Oklahoma City Thunder and join the Golden State Warriors, a move made after the Warriors had lost to a LeBron James-led Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2016 NBA Finals, it was met with disapproval from fans. Many perceived the team as already well-equipped, making Durant’s quest for a championship ring seem almost aesthetic.
