Kevin Durant rapidly became the poster child for load management.

While his peers of the same generation have been able to draw out their prime and refine their game and abilities, Kev has been hurt. Kev's last actual serviceable year of NBA play was his 30 year old year.

It was a hell of a career. But if his performance in last years playoffs was any indication, especially in comparison to 5-6 years ago, this guy is fuckin toast.

No seriously, last years performance was abysmal. He was gettin ripped like a nerdy girl in PE class playing against a competitive boy from the varsity team. It was sad to watch. He's slow and weak now.

It was a hell of a career? By what standards?

Dude was carried to his only chip by one of the most stacked rosters in NBA history. His contributions to that roster were absolutely not significant to the final outcome.

He hasn’t led a team to any kind of deep playoff run since the season he left OKC. Yeah he had some good seasons purely from the point of view stats, but his overall impact on the game was pretty negligible. At this point I wouldn’t even say he’s worthy of admittance to the HoF. No legacy.

You are a total moron and thankfully history will not reflect the garbage you are spewing here.

He has 2 chips not one. So for you to say he was carried to his “only” chip is objectively wrong. Secondly, I’ve never heard of a 2x finals MVP being accused of being carried until now. Truly remarkable. He’s made 4 finals appearances, won 2, won finals MVP both times, and 1 regular season MVP, 4 scoring titles, and is a top 5-10 offensive player of all time. He will waltz into the HOF on the first ballot.

The warriors team was obviously stacked, but they had failed to win the finals the year before he signed. He was clearly the best player on those teams when he was there. When we talk about Klay and Steph we don’t discount those 2 rings. Those guys wanted him there and actively recruited him. Yet all the blame/hate is used to tarnish his accomplishments and not theirs.

He is a top 20 player of all time with ease. For you to say he doesn’t belong in the HOF because of some hate boner you have for a free agency decision he made is embarrassingly biased.
