Idk, his personality and his coattailing winning players, winning teams aside, Durant to me is still one of the most indefensible scorers the game has ever seen. Sure, one can question his ability to lead teams by himself or without immense talent around him. I don’t think that takes away from his astonishing offensive abilities. The two Golden State les and FMVPS will always have asterisks attached. I still think he’s one of the all time greats.
In response to one of the above posts, I’d take Durant over Karl Malone 100 times out of 100. Prime Charles was about as crazy an individual talent after the first tier guys like Michael, LeBron as the league has ever seen. The combination of being a physical specimen with skill and ability and an aggressive style of play compares pretty favorably with a guy like a prime LeBron. So I agree Charles over Durant. I’d probably take Dirk over Durant too, but I think they’re similar talents. Not necessarily similar players, just similar caliber players. Wouldn’t fight too much either way if either were chosen over the other.
You add the non basketball to the equation, and I think it’s easy to criticize the guy and use it to discredit his game.
