As Durant’s records highlight, he has secured a regular season MVP, two NBA championships, two finals MVPs, two more Olympic gold medals, and was named to the NBA’s 75th Anniversary team.
Considerably one of the purest scorers ever, the 7-footer can score on all three levels and play above the rim, he is 10th on the NBA’s all-time scoring list.
Moreover, only 723 points behind O’Neal for eighth and Anthony by 416 points, playing in 187 fewer games than O’Neal and 240 fewer than Anthony.
Regarding the NBA GOAT conversation superstar forward, LeBron James with four NBA titles, and Michael Jordan are the only two legitimate players in the conversation.
Earlier a few weeks ago, Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal, asked if Warriors guard Stephen Curry, who is considered the greatest shooter ever, should be in the NBA GOAT debate.
Following the GOAT conversation in the NBA, The Arizona Republic’s Duane Rankin asked Durant why he isn’t widely involved in the talks, and Durant claimed there’s only one thing why is not included,
“Because I went to the Warriors. Why shouldn’t I be in that? That’s the question you should ask. Why not? What haven’t I done?”
Durant joined the Warriors in 2016 as a free agent by then the Warriors had already won a championship in 2015, and in 2016 they won an NBA-record 73 regular-season games.
Durant now is a 2x NBA Champion, 2x NBA Finals MVP, 1x NBA MVP, 13x NBA All-Star, 2x NBA All-Star MVP, 6x All-NBA First Team member, NBA Rookie of the Year, and a 4x NBA Scoring Champion.
