KD is confused why he’s not in the GOAT conversation: “Because I went to the Warriors. Why shouldn’t I be in that? That’s the question you should ask. Why not? What haven’t I done?”

LeBron and MJ have both been the clear best player on multiple championships
You have 1 MVP
I mean, I love Kevin Durant, but he is a top 15 player of all time imo. He doesn’t belong to the GOAT conversation lmao
I don’t even think it’s the warriors thing honestly. The overwhelming majority of titles have been won by loaded teams. I just don’t think he’s done enough. Has there ever been an entry into serious goat conversation for anybody with less than 3 titles? Like I don’t feel it even started with Bron before the Cleveland title
You have 1 MVP and 2 titles that came by way of joining a team that was already the title favorite. Can’t be serious lol
Indisputable argument for GOAT:
– Jordan
– LeBron
Some argument for GOAT:
– Kareem
– Russell
Everyone else ain’t in the conversation. Including Wilt, Bird, Magic, Duncan, Shaq, Kobe, Hakeem, etc…..
And KD ain’t anywhere near the top 11 guys. Hell naw.
He has no shot at the GOAT convo.
At best he has an argument as the greatest scorer ever.
The goat debate is basically “how long were you the best player in the league and by how much were you the best” and the answer to both for KD is “never” so its really a non-starter.
2 titles vs 4 to 6. KD ain’t on that level.
Went to the warriors and haven’t won before or after. Yeah man you answered it
When your legacy is worse than another player on the team you played with, you dont really have an argument.
KD will be lucky if 1 or both of Jokic and Giannis dont pass him.
Brother there is literally no point in time where you were indisputably the best player in the league. The only time is 2021, but even that’s contested with Giannis and Kawhi’s injury.
Dude literally answered his own question in the first line of the quote 😂
Joining a super team to win your only 2 championships makes not a GOAT.
You haven’t won multiple titles and had multiple MVPs over a decade. I don’t understand why people can’t understand there are degrees and it’s not an insult to tell someone they aren’t the greatest of all time.
This is delusion
What team has he carried since the warriors I’ll wait .. that’s why you not in the goat conversation you can’t go to the finals without a super team
KD is an all timer but the guys above him have done everything he did and more
Bro you’re not even top 15
Cuz you haven’t won shit without being on a stacked roster and have 1 singular MVP. Giannis will have a better argument if he wins another at this point.
Joined his biggest rivals in his prime and bus rode his way to two titles. He’s in the conversation for BBOAT (Biggest Bitch of All-Time).
Narcissism is a bad drug.
Kevin Durant the basketball player is elite, one of the greatest of all times, but come on man…there’s no way. He doesn’t have the numbers or accolades, and more importantly when it comes to the GOAT conversation he is missing the narrative.
What is KD’s legacy? A 7 footer who can score at will, and a solid defender? That’s it. There’s no adversity, no story. Nothing. “I was the second best player in the world, and teamed up with the third best player in the world and his team with the best record in NBA history to beat the best player in the world”. GOAT legacy indeed…
KDs great. He had a ton of potential and won quite a bit. If he had better luck, he might have even won in back in 2021.
Sadly he didnt and his accomplishments amount to about the same as Giannis or Jokic, both of which could easily surpass him in the next couple of years.
Let alone Steph, who won before and after him.
These days i feel like KD is a bit underrated, but his decision making is probably the worst of any all time great.
Had he stayed with the Warriors, god knows how many championships they still could have won.
I like kd but jfc dude lol. You aint even in that class.
Least self aware superstar
He’s cringier than the guy who made a post on here about “non cringe” NBA players.
He’s the third best player of his generation. Maybe focus on that KD
Simple answer is a single MVP, long answer is never being able to win it as the main guy on his team.
Hall of Famer for sure, but GOAT is completely brain dead. The Warriors still could have won those 2 chips without him and he wasn’t able to seal the deal on any other team with plenty of star power.
Steph would have a better argument lol. It was his team and Steph changed the game more than KD. Won without KD, etc.
how is he gonna call himself a potential GOAT with zero in-season tournament titles?
Couldn’t even win a ring with a team that had 2 other future MVPs on it
Meanwhile LeBron is dragging a Cavs team to the Finals with fuckin Boobie Gibson and Drew Gooden and Larry “sub 40% FGs” Hughes
Fuck outta here
