Kevin Durant will be forgotten in time, and be eclipsed by players playing right now...and this is not an unprecedented phenomenon

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

So, Kevin Durant is probably done with major NBA success...it is what it is. He isn't WASHED, he was top 10 in scoring this year, but lets be real, there is not a path to an NBA title again based on the direction the league is going, the way the sun's abhorrent cap situation is...and the way the conference is structured...I don't see it.

He was on a path to GOAT tier...and I believe he'll settle at "really great nba career" tier.

1-2 NBA titles, multiple scoring titles, MVP, plethora of all nba etc...this is the resume of Moses Malone, Dr. J, Hakeem Olajuwon...and Kevin Durant. And we respect the hell out of them, but they are not in the GOAT conversation, the way that Kareem, MJ, Magic, LeBron, Wilt, etc are. Kevin Durant does not belong there. He was on GOAT path for a while.

I don't think it is even reasonable to place Durant over Larry Bird at this point. I fully believe Giannis and Jokic will eclipse his level of success completely, and the trajectory that the new class of players is going, he could be forgotten in time the way that Moses Malone and Dr J are like, myths to anyone my age or younger.

Has your perspective about Kevin Durant's career changed over the past few years?

"That guy in those 'my next chapter ' memes actually played???"

 

[Da_Eggman]

He is still one of the best pure scorers ever but i would not put him ahead of Bird

Why you gotta do Hakeem dirty like that? KD is not on his level.

Their resumes are very similar...Hakeem is a superior player though, no argument here.

I'd put KD a tier below. Leike he's the very top of the next tier. Thsi board massively overrated him because it fit multiple stan agendas at once.

Yall gon get hernias tryna force people into the GOAT debate

 

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

Dudes stay complaining about how trash NBA coverage and talk is, yet actively contribute to it with these types of discussions.

Always shytting and talking down on someone’s career just to prop up others.

 

[O.iatlhawksfan]

No he won’t he’ll be remember as the the originator of the 6’11+ skilled wingman

 

[GoldenGlove]

Yeah, kids one day will be calling him DeMar DeRozan if he got to play with Steph Curry and a Dynasty for a few years

And what critical and important nba thread have you ever made in your entire life? In fact, what do you even contribute to The Coli?

who are you referring to / who is forcing who in to debate pause

 

[Boonapalist]

With Dr J and Moses I think it’s different. They’re not mentioned much because their primes were before when the NBA was in a down period. And Dr J spent part of his in the ABA.

Well, i'm not going that far because he has a superior skillset...no am i taking those titles away from him.
