Why Kevin Durant Isn't What He Used To Be

Kevin Durant fell off and it's time we talk about Kevin Durant and the truth about him. It's no longer acceptable to compare Kevin Durant to the likes of LeBron James and Steph Curry because to do so would be. to disrespect the former. Because Kevin Durant has yet again failed to win a championship outside of Steph Curry. Kevin Durant's entire career can be split up into 3 phases and those phases are Pre- Steph Curry, Steph Curry era, and Post-Steph Curry. Now if you are a person that is highly regarded in your profession it's not a good look to have your entire legacy tied to someone else, it's not a good look and it's safe to say that you probably are not going. to make the top 10 list of anything and that is telling of Kevin Durant. After Kevin Durant failed to beat the Warriors in 2016 he joined the Golden state warriors team that had eliminated him in the playoffs the same year. We all know how that went, Kevin Durant went on to win two championships with the Warriors and two finals MVPs, but something wasn't right, even after winning the thing he sought after so much something did sit right there he was in June two years in a row with an NBA final in one hand and a championship in the other and the fans were still praising Steph curry. Furthermore, even though he had just helped the Warriors who had recruited him it seemed as if they still didn't respect him, evident by how Draymond Green treated him and called him names. So Kevin Durant decided he needed to win somewhere else if he was ever going to get the respect he deserves. So he joined the team with Kyrie Irving in Brooklyn and tried to make it work there but he found that he couldn't get the job done with Kyrie just like how he couldn't get it done with Russell Westbrook. and this is where the comparisons between him and Lebron James became unfair because Lebron was able to win with Kyrie Irving But Kevin couldn't. When that team fell apart and Kyrie left he asked to be traded to the Phoenix Suns yet another super team. but two days ago he just got eliminated from the playoffs and so now he has played with stars like Kyrie Irving, Devin Booker, Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook, Stephen Curry, and James Harden and the only player that helped him was Steph Curry. That's not good for his legacy because if he never wins a championship outside of Steph Curry he will forever be in his shadow. and that is the truth about Kevin Durant. He is more hype than anything.
