So then you're saying he actually enhanced his legacy by going to gsw..

Rangz don't affect how I see Kevin Durant's career at all, so no. I think that the way the people view these things has generally changed, and nuance exists as far as championships, winning, etc. go. It's not just rangz rangz rangz anymore, at least from my view.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Like in real life it's cool to be harden or melo or Karl Malone and tell your grandkids how nice you were. I legit respect it. But in the highly scrutinized lens of sports legends, nobody really cares that much

 

[dacomeup]

Kd's legacy would be closer to what harden's is had he never went to gsw. And that's real

Troll better, G.

You said he was top 10 regardless. Top 10 plus rings and finals mvps = enhancement

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Shaq has the same exact logic when people tell him anything about the Kobe feud. He, and Kobe too seem quite content with what they achieved

After you win a title, especially two, perspective inevitably changes

 

[Thats My Word]

Durant isn’t going to leave the warriors, his little heart won’t be able to take the criticism again if he joins another team.

 

[HIM]

Yeah. The old days when Clippers fans and Dubs fans used to argue with each other about lottery seeding.

(Come back, @mjshoefanatic).

People in real life be tryna say I just hate the warriors because they’re good. I try to explain we been beefing since we were each struggling to hit 20 wins a year.

Also, I’m in the works on a deal to bring MJSF out of retirement for another run with the squad. Stay tuned

Your not winning 4 in a row. So after 3 peat who cares, go do what you want.

All them boys dipping.

He will be praised, he is good as gone after a title this year.

If he won one in okc they might of named a damn town after him over there

Championships that MEAN something are always gonna be better than this ******** they got going on in golden state.

That bron championship in Cleveland will be remembered till the end of time. Bron is Teflon in any hood in Ohio because of that. I’ll take one Cleveland championship over the last two golden state ones because they accomplished something. They didn’t get the best player in the word and then continue to steamroll the competition with out any resistance

This **** has me heated. I gotta smoke a cigarette.

 

[MVP]

He's a top 10 player of all time whether he won those rings or not. This post is awful.

Top 10 nah

 

[MVP]

Andre is a sage

Whatever criticism he'd get for bouncing won't even be a fraction of what he got after joining the squad that eliminated him the year before. The only group that would really give him stick for leaving would be Dubs fans

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Bruh he was playing with Russ. He was never gonna win **** in OKC. Plus KD choked often enough his damn self in the playoffs with the thunder. That would've been his legacy. Big scorer, regular season MVP. Couldn't get it done when it mattered. James harden-esque

 

[MVP]

What consensus top 10 player doesn't have multiple rings, never mind just one? There is an exclusivity at some point. Everybody can't get in. KD would may have been recognized as a top 10 talent (hell he maybe top 3 ever in that regard already) but in the lexicon of resumes top 10 ever nah.

san francisco giants 2010, 2012, 2014 world champs. **** was magical

Suck my **** **** y’all

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Dudes really tryna act like rings don't matter

 

[BIG FISH]

KD top 3 most talented?
Who are the other 2 lol

 

[wavycrocket]

Gotta love this new search function

HIM

His lateral movements and ability to score at the rim tells me he’s about 90% right now.

Hes shooting 81% in the restricted area. Dude just went cold from 3 in a small sample size over 2 games. That’s it. Heavy literally shooting 49% from the field in the playoffs...and this is off of being out for 6 weeks.

Legs and conditioning are coming to form.

how does that make sense though? Because he won rings?

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Uhhh...yea

 

[addict4sneakers]

Shaq and Jordan. Steph Kareem. Harden too

Wilt
Bron/MJ/KD

no it does NOT tatyana

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

I think some of yall might be forgetting who KD was. Yall like to call him the best player on one of the goat teams to shade Steph but he had plenty of flaws and blunders when he was with the thunder
