Durant is a phenomenal player but my god he's so soft. If people have Instagram here, go check KD's most recent IG stories. If you remember some of the criticism Charles Barkley gave KD about his time with the Warriors, then you'll understand it.
Not a good look for KD IMHO
I've honestly begun to question his actual place in the pantheon on basketball. I've lowered him considerably on my all time list because I don't think he is an alpha like the true all timers. His comments about never being the focus and not knowing how to deal with it. His flameouts in big moments in OKC, hise short cut to titles and then bolting when it got tough, and then going to a place to play with a friend rather than care about winning. Chris Broussard, for all his faults, said it best that the problem with the Nets is that their Batman has a Robin personality and their Robin has a Batman personality. Durant has the talent to be a #1 guy, but not the mental makeup to really handle it. He needs the fall guy to take pressure off. For so long that was Westbrook. he then joined a champion and faced no adversity while healthy, got hurt, and bolted. Now the last 2 years, he has had to be the man in large part because the guy he chose to play with flakes out consistently (when he is even available), and they've lost 8 of his last 9 playoff games several of which he just wasn't very good. I used to think Durant was a top 15 player all time, now I think he is more like a top 25 guy, maybe even more like top 30 or 35. I just don't think he really has it. He could certainly prove me wrong next year and the Nets could make a deep playoff run, I just don't see it.
