I can’t believe anyone is actually trying to argue Durant over Giannis after last year. It’s not close man. Giannis is arguably the best player in the league. Durant isn’t even top 5 anymore.

For real, and I'm starting to wonder when the last time he actually was 'top five.'

The last two seasons, his offensive numbers and shooting efficiency have been great, arguably putting him in the MVP race, but then you look at his advanced stats, and it's kind of shocking how little he raises the BPM and WAR numbers, considering. He's not even close to the leaders.

Building around him as a point-forward and Kyrie as a... whatever the hell he is, just doesn't seem to work nearly as well as it should. Now how will Simmons impact that?

KD is a HOF, but his legacy has taken a huge hit, no doubt about it.

I have always believed in KD, but have been disappointed by his lack of assertion as the team leader that we need.

Great player, but those chips in GSW don't add much considering they were a well oiled machine + had won it already(actually just eliminated his ass before joining.. weak af.)

KD needs to come into this season with a killer mentality, no other way around it if we wants to salvage his legacy.
