Kevin Durant Questions Exclusion from NBA GOAT Debates

Despite Controversial Career Move, Durant's Achievements and Current Performance with Phoenix Suns Could Change Legacy Narrative

Kevin Durant, currently playing for the Phoenix Suns, has expressed frustration at not being included in the NBA GOAT (Greatest of All Time) debates, which typically focus on Michael Jordan and LeBron James.
Durant believes his exclusion from these discussions is due to his controversial decision to leave the Oklahoma City Thunder for the Golden State Warriors in 2016, a move that some fans have never forgiven.
Despite the controversy, Durant's career achievements are substantial, including two NBA championships, an MVP award, two Finals MVP Awards, four scoring titles, and the Rookie of the Year Award. He's also been named to the All-NBA first team 10 times and to the All-Star Game 13 times.
Durant is currently having an MVP-caliber season with the Phoenix Suns, and some speculate that if he leads the Suns to their first NBA championship, it could change the narrative around his legacy.
Despite the debate, Durant has a 100% chance of entering the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, according to Basketball Reference.
