    Default REturning to the value of two finals MVP's

    Warriors were in dire need of help and they got it (at the time he was labeled cupcake)

    Well Cupcake is with the Suns this year , and will probably go farther than his past two teams.

    But this thread is about K.Durant.

    We forget that Durant was in his quite essential PRIME when he was playing for the Warriors.
    In the two years he was there , he accomplished a pretty darn good record, 2 chips and 2 mvp's

    MAKING HIM LITERALLY A WALK IN HOF'er.

    Subtract those and would he be a walk in ??

    Durant did something few have ever done , go to another team , and make them back to back champs with him as the primary scoring source.
    Give him his due ________________________

    He won mvp before he joined them so he was going to the Hall regardless.

    Also to be clear he was there for three years just got hurt in the third.

    Lol he got free cakes with the warriors during his stay rt. Too bad kawhi had to stop him in his third run doe. So three-peat no more.

    And no, don't even mention about injuries. Kawhi got it first which eventually led him to leave texas a year later.

    Yes, a team that had just won 73 games, had the 2x MVP and 2 other All-NBA players was in "dire" need of help. Great point.

    Well Cupcake is with the Suns this year , and will probably go farther than his past two teams.
    Yeah, I would hope he'd go further than Brooklyn

    But this thread is about K.Durant.
    It was about him the entire time

    We forget that Durant was in his quite essential PRIME when he was playing for the Warriors.

    Literally nobody has forgotten this

    No shit sherlock

    Absolutely retarded question

    Durant did something few have ever done , go to another team , and make them back to back champs with him as the primary scoring source.

    As of now, KD undoubtedly comes out of the losing end of this argument. The Warriors won a title before he got there and then after he left, while he has only made a single Finals outside of Golden State.

    the value of this thread is coming : Suns will be playing to go forward , and Durant on his downhill of his prime , just watch and enjoy.
    He is a unique as hell player ever in the league , and probably will never see another one in your lifetime.

    Was he even the real MVP in those two series or did they just give it to him because he was on the winning side.

    Being a Hall of Famer and joining a finals team to get you those accolades taints the accolades in my opinion.

    you guys act like he is an average to all-star quality player.

    At the time he joined the War's he was a super star.

    good post. Every single thing OP says is mindboggingly dumb. It has to be his age.

    So a team that over the previous 2 years had won 140 games, a championship, and was literally a minute away from winning another couldn't have won again without a top 20 player of all time joining the team? Do you not realize how completely idiotic that sounds

    Look at the list of a ton of people who get in the HOF, it's insulting to ask if KD would get it without those two seasons.
