Kevin Durant should have been the GOAT.

[Shogon]

He COULD have been the GOAT.

But hey, what's between the ears counts too. C'est la vie.

[HoopsNY]

That would have required better playmaking ability and better defense. I like KD's game. He has a killer instinct and an ability to hit big shots. But he just isn't the defender guys like Mj, Kareem, Hakeem, or even Kobe were.

[Axe]

Can he be goat under rehabilitation? I don't think so. But the moment he comes back in the next season, i hope he plays the same as he did before he ruptured his tendon. I'm not sure if he can turn the nets into perennial finalists but I'd be interesting to see if he can do that.

[StrongLurk]

Nah man, there have only been two players (Shaq, Lebron) since MJ who truly had the potential to be BETTER than MJ.

It's already hard enough to be AS GOOD as MJ (no one is yet), but imagine actually being BETTER than MJ.

[HylianNightmare]

He still can be but yeah he should've started way younger. After the first loss to a in prime lebron he should've meet him at least one more time during lebron's stay in Miami and taken 1 off the king. He had to massively collude to get his

[SATAN]

Shogon wrong as per usual :facepalm

[JohnMax]

He ruined Warriors team defense and ballmovement offense. Not because he was selfish but because he lacked physicality to play team basketball i.e. setting screens, fighting over screens, bumping players, boxing out, etc

This is why people thought Warriors looked better without him. Warriors teams defense and team offense would return the minute he missed games.

[HBK_Kliq_2]

2016 chokejob basically ruined his entire legacy. If he holds onto 3-1 Wcf lead then goes and beats LeBron? I'm sure he stays with thunder after a title. Instead he ruined his legacy by warriors decision. Now he's about to be 32 and needs to find a way to dig himself out of that hole he put his legacy in. If he fails to win a title with nets, he will go down as the most mentally weak superstar of all time along with his buddy Harden.

[JohnMax]

KD was 4-17 vs Lebron with OKC but something like 12-2 with GSW.

Don't be fooled, Warriors hid what ever was allowing Lebron to whoop his ass.

[kawhileonard2]

Maybe top 10 all time.

[Lebron23]

Maybe top 10 all time.

Nah top 20.
