Kevin Durant has been one of the best scorers in the NBA for the past decade or so. His 6?10 frame and smooth shooting form led him to get the upper hand on some of the best defenders and stars in the league. Durant was able to solidify his name right from his Oklahoma City Thunder days. However, since he went to the Golden State Warriors, the take on his legacy has drastically changed.

Durant already was one hell of a player while playing alongside Russell Westbrook in Oklahoma. But his move to join the Warriors to merge forces with Stephen Curry and an already stacked team led fans to add a certain narrative to it.
