Let’s be Realistic About Kevin Durant

New York, New York (PSF) - There’s no doubt Kevin Durant is one of the games greatest scorers we’ve ever seen and could possibly be a future Hall of Famer when his career is done. It’s time to be real about Durant in the last three years.

We will see Kevin Durant play roughly 40-50 games during the regular season and shoot very efficiently from the mid-range. In the playoffs, he underperformed in recent playoff matchups while he was a Brooklyn Net. In sports, we hold Kevin Durant to a standard of being a champion which no one should discredit him for.

The talks are Durant can’t win without Stephen Curry, even with these super teams having James Harden and Kyrie Irving as teammates in Brooklyn, to now the Phoenix Suns having Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, and Deandre Ayton as teammates.

It seems Durant should have stayed in Golden State to keep winning instead of going to Brooklyn to build his own super team since that became a disaster, especially in the playoffs with underperformers and injuries. Well, we will see how the trio of Booker, Beal, and Durant can manage and how things will go in the playoffs if they do make it.
