Draymond explains why KD isn’t part of NBA GOAT conversation

A never-ending discussion centered around the greatest players in NBA history, such as Michael Jordan, LeBron James, and Kobe Bryant.

However, Kevin Durant, who recently questioned whether his basketball legacy was lessened by his Warriors union, is perplexed as to

why he isn’t included in the conversation.

“Since I attended the Warriors.” Why am I not included in that? You ought to inquire about that, Durant said to Arizona Republic reporter Duane Rankin. Why not? What have I failed to do?

And in timely fashion, Durant’s former Warriors teammate Draymond Green weighed in on the debacle and gave his reasoning as to

why he doesn’t believe the Phoenix Suns star should be included in the GOAT conversation just yet.

During a sneak peek at the upcoming “The Draymond Green Show” episode, Green declared,”I think KD is one of the greatest scorers

we’ve ever seen.” “KD scores the ball in such an easy method. With 14 shots, he will score 31 points for you;he has never seen a bad

shot. That night is typical for KD. Naturally, I won’t say something like, “KD’s championships aren’t real.” Put an end to it. No

championship exists that isn’t genuine.

It wasn’t until 2022, when he led this club to a championship and won the MVP award for the Finals, that Curry received the

recognition he does now. Steph said, “Alright fellas, come on, let’s go there,”

when everything else had failed. Clearly. You possess

Before joining the Warriors in the 2016-17 season, Durant spent the first nine seasons of his NBA career with the Oklahoma City

Thunder (formerly Seattle SuperSonics). Durant averaged 27.4 points on 48.3-percent shooting, with seven rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.2

steals and one block in just under a decade with the team.

The timing of Durant’s move to Golden State was questioned and critiqued by the NBA world,

as his Thunder had just been knocked

out of the postseason by … the Warriors … the season before.

Nonetheless, it happened. And with the Warriors, Durant helped lead the team to three consecutive NBA Finals trips and two titles.

While Durant was an obvious key component to Golden State’s postseason success during his time there, he continues to be crucified

for the move, with several critics claiming he needed Curry to win a ring.

In addition, the story was rewritten to favor Curry, as Green has pointed out. Curry faced more pressure after Durant departed the

Warriors to play for the Brooklyn Nets and later the Suns. It was said that Curry would not be able to win another championship

without Durant. The 3-point phenom Curry quickly disproved that assumption by leading

the Warriors to yet another title in the 2021–2022 campaign.

Durant hasn’t been able to get his club past the second round of the playoffs with the Nets and Suns.

Perhaps Green will reevaluate Durant’s GOAT standing until he does.
