Regular season MVP. Conference Finals MVP. Champion. NBA Finals MVP.

Kevin Durant didn't. Russell Westbrook didn't.

KD is still the most talented player I’ve seen play for OKC

8/27 and still had 30 points. Really earned that free throw merchant nickname haha

Certainly a strong argument for it based on accomplishments.

Durant was clearly better at basketball though. Like you’re out of your **** mind if you think SGA is better now than prime KD

I'd take prime Durant on this team over SGA if I'm being honest...

I wouldn’t even retire 35 if I was OKC honestly

Who has that newspaper headline that called him mr unreliable

No **** way. SGA clearly a much better leader.

Exactly.

Presti put a bunch of junk bench players and shooters around KD.

Unlike SGA, KD had zero luck in OKC either.

Sam Presti the only one with a possible argument over him

Peak KD was better but he came up short, and SGA succeeded where he could not.

Durant still the greatest Thunder ever because he has more superstar seasons than SGA at this point (2010-2014, 2016 to 2023-2025) which is 6 to 3. Shai should pass him eventually though

He's Zeus to OKC's Thunder.

Easily. KD failed. He didn't.

We just watched one the greatest seasons in NBA history but it’s a shame that so many of you won’t appreciate it in the same light.

Not when your co-star saves your butt with 40 points in a Game 5.

I don't disagree there... but on pure basketball talent, I'll take prime KD over SGA.
