Magic to Hakeem.
Duncan's team weren't that loaded, especially not 99 , 03 and 14. A case could be made for 05, 07, and even then they were no match for those 80s Lakers and Celtics teams, or even the GSW for the last 3 years.
I actually thought the Spurs could get his defensive potential maximized if he joined the Spurs. I would have moved LMA to center and interchanged Kawhi and Durant at PF. I actually thought he could reach his defensive potential with the Spurs. I didn't think he'd get there with most other teams, but it looks like he has doing it there in Goldenstate. I also don't think Scott Brooks and the Thunder emphasized defense that much. It was more Westbrook and Durant fighting it out for Alpha status - that's what he spent his time working on.

why do ppl say he improved his defense this year?
his playing on a stacked team where all of them play some form of defense, either his allowed t o roam more freely cause of the weapons on the team that the opponent has no answer to.... then the pace the gsw plays at and building up leads where the opponents starts trying to trade baskets leading to poor shots and bricking them that's not even contested possessions
I am happy for Durant...didn't chase money he chased the chance to win...and this should be applauded and celebrated
