Draymond Green Excludes Kevin Durant from GOAT Debate, Cites Stephen Curry's Achievements

Despite Durant's impressive record, Green argues that Curry's leadership in the Warriors' 2022 title win sets him apart.

  • Draymond Green, a veteran forward for the Golden State Warriors, has publicly stated that Kevin Durant is not in the GOAT (Greatest of All Time) conversation in basketball, despite Durant's impressive accomplishments.
  • Green argues that Stephen Curry, who led the Warriors to the 2022 title and won finals MVP without Durant, should be in the GOAT conversation.
  • Durant has two finals MVPs (2017 and 2018) to Curry’s one, but only one regular season MVP to Curry’s two.
  • Green suggests that Durant's championships with the Warriors are not enough to put him in the GOAT conversation, and that Durant needs to lead a team to a championship on his own, as Curry did in 2022.
  • Durant is currently fifth in the NBA in scoring at 29.6 points a game on 53.1% shooting.
