Where did you rank Kevin Durant at his highest and where do you have him now?

[QUOTE=Nowoco;14903619]If the Dubs didnt get hurt in 2019, they would have won the chip easily. A dominant three-peat would have made them very difficult not to consider as the GOAT NBA team ever. I mean, some people say it already with two rings. So Kevin Durant would have been the best player on the best team of all-time. In a lot of people's minds.

It would be hard not to consider the best player on the best team ever a top 10 player. Now obviously they didnt three-peat but we all know they would have without breaking a sweat if healthy so it's not a big what if.[/QUOTE]

I would still see Durant more as Drexler to Hakeem or Wade to Shaq.

The team defining player was Curry.

[QUOTE=Nowoco;14903175]Nick Wright made a good point the other day when he said that 5-6 years ago, there was lots of talk of KD being top 10 all-time with some prominent analysts putting him in there.

Now he was saying that it's a struggle to get him in the top 20. I have to say I agree.

Where DID you rank him and where DO you rank him now? Has it changed?[/QUOTE]

How does that work? In your opinion which active players overtook him in the rankings for him to be bumped down 10 spots in 5 years on the all time list?

I had him a spot below Curry last week, now he's 2 spot below Curry.

Who got moved up?


:milton

[QUOTE=tpols;14903606][B]Kyrie was out almost every year with Durant[/B]. He was out all 2019 and 2020 and got hurt vs the Bucks in 2021. With LeBron when he won a ring kyrie played every playoff game and went off in the biggest ones. That's nonsense what you said. But the point is Durant was a great overall player... he was an MVP talent level.[/QUOTE]

?

Both KI and KD were out the first year.

KI missed 2 games in 2021 and they were on pace to be tied against the Bucks and they were together in 2022 and got SWEPT.

As others have said, to me he's obviously outside the top 10, but pretty much in that crowded, hard to rank 15-20ish tier with people like Moses Malone, Dr. J (depending on how much you value his ABA career) KG, Dirk, Jerry West, etc.
