Let KD win another title or two playing at an elite level the next 3 years.
We're going to have to be real with ourselves and start talking about KD surpassing Bron.
Gonna repeat something I've said on here maybe twice in the last two years: its coming time to have serious comparison between Durant and a number of your favorite All-Timers before you get to Bron---->chiefly guys like Kobe, Bird, Duncan, Shaq, Dream, etc...
There's still a dozen or so guys between KD and Bron and we've seen KD and Bron play in the same era at the same time, that conversation is only interesting because KD is better now (and maybe has been the last few years)...
He's not really close to Bron All-Time at this point and its rather interesting this funny forum doesn't want to compare Durant to anyone except LeBron, which says more about how yall feel about LeBron than Durant...
The problem when we start hypothesizing the legacies of any great player of this era, besides LeBron James, is we go on this fanatical tangents where we assume the other greats (in this case its Kev) are about to win multiple more titles in multiple more elite years while LeBron is basically doing nothing to enhance his own legacy----->yet its the reverse with LeBron when talking about his legacy...
To your point if KD does what you just hypothesized, its gonna get uncomfortable for all the GOATs, and sure, a run like that will make for a serious discussion with he and Bron. But you nikkas love acting like Bron is the only dude ahead of KD on GOAT boards abd its a bunch of yall favorites that are much closer to being surpassed by Durant, so in your words, if we're gonna be real with ourselves, let's keep it all the way real...
I'm all for introspection and nuanced discussion of Kevin Durant, so let's pull the gloves off and stop tiptoeingaround shyt on some biased agenda shyt, because if we're really talking about Durant's legacy, we're talking about his legacy in total and ALL the GOATs who his legacy is threatening...
he should've been had more championships with the talent he's been running with even back to okc era
how you gonna be better than a nikka ahead of you in every category as an individual player¿

You know cats act like Durant had some virtuoso carry job in OKC....yet we all know that team was a perennial championship favorite for a half-decade and two All-Timers together (Durant abd Brodie) could not win ONE title...
Dude has had plenty of opportunities to win more titles, taking away the two years he was hurt. That doesn't take away from his work as an All-Timer but we not finna play this make believe game that Durant, a guy who outside of his first 2-3 years has ALWAYS played on a contender, has been crippled from winning more titles...
Only with LeBron James can you have a dozen games like KD's greatest game last night, have a mountain of metrics you're over someone, and yet be considered inferior to that player lmao...
Raptors won 50 games the years before and after him. Y'all need that team to be awful to fit a narrative but it's literally the opposite of reality.
That was one of the best constructed rosters in the NBA and just needed a better star player to maximize their potential.
Potential that needed KD's injury to be realized.
