What’s the argument for Kevin Durant NOT being the GOAT?

[Run DLC]

He singlehandedly destroyed LeBron’s legacy and dominated him throughout their respective careers . He’s a better scorer than MJ. He went to GS, took over the team and singlehandedly led them to 3 straight NBA finals and almost three-peat. KD is a better leader, defender, passer, rebounder, more clutch than MJ and LeBron. Ladies and gentlemen, Kevin Durant is the GOAT.

He was the goat until last year. Kawhi is the goat now.

KD didn't dominate the 2010s the way Jordan did the 1990s

[Lion's pride]

Lol this thread, can you still be a goat and not be considered top 10 by most?

[k0kakw0rld]

Shut up idiot!

Only has a winning record over LeBron (in the playoffs) because he joined a 73-9 team who had already won a championship and reached 2 finals before he got there.

He is a disgrace and you too for believing this LMAOO

Is Durant even above Curry all-time? And yeah, those 2 FMVPs are nice, but imagine if it had been Curry joining the Thunder and getting the single coverage treatment.

I would say so because Durant’s prime has been longer but imo Curry’s been a better player even though most people thought durant was better when they played together)(I rondo). Durant still doesn’t have a year like 16 curry and maybe not even 15 curry

Wait how is Durant a better scorer than MJ when MJ averaged over 30 points?

Kevin's a little too 'thin' if you know what I mean.

40 y.o MJ had 43 on the #1 defense in the league :kobe: He also had 41/12/4/3 vs Pacers the same season.

35 y.o Lebron only has one 40-pt game on the season.

The muscle between your ears. More or less.

Why do you guys take troll threads seriously? The guy said single handedly took the warriors to 3 straight finals lol

My question is, at the end of 2016 season who would you rank higher? Because even though KD won back to back FMVPs the following years I don't feel like that's because he was a dramatically better player. His circumstances improved exponentially. His scoring numbers/percentages were off the scale but does that happen without Curry and Klay on the same floor with him? What KD ended up doing on the Warriors was give them a much wider margin of error than everyone else, and it's not like they needed it short of a couple of teams.
