From the Thunder to the Warriors to the Nets, Durant's career has been full of twists and controversies. His original intention of leaving the Warriors was undoubtedly to prove his ability to lead the team and fight independently, and he was no longer regarded by the outside world as a player who "relied on the Warriors system". However, as time goes on, one can't help but ask: Has Durant really proven himself?
During his time with the Warriors, Durant became an indispensable scoring point for the team with his excellent scoring ability and consistent shooting. His addition made the Warriors' already powerful offensive firepower even more terrifying, winning the NBA championship for two consecutive years, and Durant himself was awarded the FMVP. However, behind all this aura, there are always some voices who question that Durant has succeeded under the Warriors' system, rather than really proving himself.
So, in pursuit of self-proof, Durant chose to leave the Warriors and join the Nets. However, after leaving the Warriors, Durant did not lead the Nets to brilliant results as expected. On the contrary, the Nets have failed many times in the playoffs, and Durant's ability to lead the team has been questioned like never before.
In the days of the Nets, although Durant was still able to contribute excellent individual performances, the team's poor overall record made it difficult for him to get rid of the shadow of the Warriors. People are beginning to wonder if Durant really has what it takes to lead the team on his own, and whether he can really succeed without the Warriors' system.
Looking back now, Durant's original intention of leaving the Warriors is certainly worthy of respect, but the reality has cruelly proved that he is still difficult to shake off the influence of the Warriors. Perhaps, for Durant, the road to true self-certification is still long and challenging. He needs to find a team that suits him and lead the team to real success in order to completely get out of the shadow of the Warriors and truly prove his worth.
In this NBA arena full of uncertainties, Durant's journey of self-certification continues. We look forward to him finding his own stage and showing his true strength and value."
