Kevin Durant Reflects On Time With Warriors

Kevin Durant made shockwaves when joining the Warriors back in 2016. Durant's addition to the team clearly made them above and beyond everyone. Indeed the Warriors did become an issue for the league. The franchise won back-to-back titles. Unfortunately, a three-peat wasn't in the cards as Durant and Klay Thompson's injuries stopped the dynasty. Durant left Golden State after three years. Signing a deal with the Brooklyn Nets while rehabbing his Achilles injury.




Durant's time with Golden State was short. However, his presence made for one of the more memorable runs for a franchise in NBA history. Although the team wasn't desperate to add another superstar. The season before Durant joined the Warriors, the team broke the record for most wins in a single season with 73. Also, that same season, the Warriors eliminated Durant's Thunder from the playoffs. Fans were quick to judge the decision Durant made to join the Warriors.

Kevin Durant Doesn't Care What People Think

In a recent interview with The Athletic's Shams Charania, Durant spoke about his decision to join Golden State. "When it comes to me, people are not going to think in a logical way or simply look at what I've done and say that's it. They gotta add a narrative to it, they gotta push something to discredit me. Once I left to go to the Warriors, it's been the gymnastics on how to discredit me every step of the way. It's like, damn, that's not even fun no more, like, engaging with people because y'all aren't even being truthful. You move the goalpost every time, you expect the most out of me and if I don't reach it I'm a failure. It's like, what's the problem," Durant stated to Charania.




The decision was made, and Durant created history with Golden State. Undoubtedly the most dominant team in recent NBA history. If Durant would have decided to stay, there's no telling how many titles the franchise would have by now. Especially since the team has won one even without Durant.
