Durant's status in the US mainstream media rankings is even higher than Curry's, for no reason, only because his scoring ability and Jordan are in the same file.
In addition to this, his honors include 2 championships, 1 regular season MVP, 2 Finals MVP, 4 scoring champions, 9 Best Team and 12 All-Stars.
Even with these accolades, Durant could be one of the most overrated superstars of all time.
Why? His accolades don't stand up to scrutiny in delving into his career, and he's probably one of the most highly protected and overrated stars in NBA history.
Let's take a look at his career:
Born a scorer, but lacking in other areas
There is no doubt that Durant's scoring ability is at the top of the NBA pyramid like Jordan's, shooting 49.6% from the field, 38.4% from three-point range and 88.4% from the free throw line.
His scoring ability is definitely the top two in the whole history.
But when you ignore his scoring ability, his overall performance is not good, and when he feels bad in the game, he can't use other means to influence the game, whether it is holding the ball to drive his teammates or suppressing the opponent with defense.
He didn't do it, which is one of his weaknesses, Jordan, James, Kobe Bryant and other people can still dominate the game when they don't feel good, and Durant can't, when he doesn't feel good in the jump shot, he can't lead the team to win.
Not a leader
Durant is loved by fans because of the image of the boy next door, and now Hu Someone still thinks of the tall, thin and tall schoolbag boy.
Looking back at Durant's career, he has never been a leader, in the Thunder, Wei Shao shot more than him, the right to speak more than him, Durant could not control Wei Shao, in the late thunder team, Wei Shao surpassed Durant on the MVP list, and for the first time in the entire league, the second oldest MVP votes were higher than the boss.
Later, he went to the Warriors, and even a character like Green pointed to his nose and told him, "We were champions before you came, and we didn't think of him as our own person at all, but just a tool man, a migrant worker."
Will Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and James be treated like this by their opponents? If you dare to do that, don't say that the team, even the entire league, doesn't have your place.
After coming to the Nets, is Durant the boss? Owen listened to him? Harden listened to him? What should the brothers do, what did Durant say? Respect his decision.
This is not the voice of a leader, a good leader, a qualified leader, who knows how to give grace and power, who has both a bodhisattva heart and a thunderous means.
Honor seepage, gold content is too low
Durant's overall career has his best accolades of 2 championships, two Finals MVPs, 1 regular season MVP and 4 scoring champions.
These honors were able to improve his all-time rankings, but his overall championship was not worth much.
First of all, his championship is not the boss champion, but the second champion, which is to be discounted, secondly, he won the championship by surrendering to the enemy, and again, there is never a precedent in history for a peak MVP to join another team with a peak MVP.
Whoever beats me, I join whoever wins the championship in a shortcut style, and it is difficult to achieve greatness.
Besides, he joined a team that had just won 73 wins and 9 losses, and just like Green said, they could win the championship before he came, even if his performance in the Finals was great enough.
But his championship couldn't lift him to the top fifteen in history.
Never been the best player
Durant won the MVP in 2014, which was his best season, but even his best season, there was James who was better than him.
In fact, throughout his career, KD did not become the best player, with Kobe Duncan Garnet Norwiski in the early days, James at his peak, and Curry alphabet in the late period.
Even if you played a professional masterpiece last season, can you say that you were beaten and became the best player in the world? Not to mention that more than 30 games have been played in the whole season.
No one takes failure as a masterpiece, even if it is highlighted.
Overall, Durant is a super scorer, but he's never proven himself to be a leader, not an all-around star of this era, or the best player in the world at any given time.
If you rank historical status by scoring ability alone, it is a very nonsensical, purely personal behavior, without logic or evidence.
So what do you think Durant's historical status contains? How many places do you think he should be in? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
