Phoenix Suns superstar Kevin Durant is going to be a Hall of Famer one day. He is a virtual lock to make it to Springfield. While there is no denying his greatness on the court, Durant’s legacy continues to get sullied by haters who think that the Suns forward backed away from tougher challenges in the NBA by joining high-powered teams.
It all started when he signed with the Golden State Warriors in 2016, joining forces with Stephen Curry and company, who had already won a championship and had just lost to LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in a legendary NBA Finals.
Phoenix Suns’ Kevin Durant Shuts Down Critics
Despite the noise, Durant doesn’t seem to be bothered by his critics. In a recent interview with Chris Haynes of Bleacher Report, Durant had the following to say about the hate:
“I understand people are always going to question what I do, but if you’re not in the building with me watching how I prepare for this game, I don’t really care about your opinion,” Durant said. “My focus is on who I’m working with and who’s in the building. I can’t concern myself with what people say or think. I know people need s–t to talk about. I know what I bring to the game, and I’m going to keep working towards getting better and helping my team win games. All that other s–t doesn’t matter.”
Whether people love him or not, Kevin Durant feels that he’s an accomplished player in the league. After all, he has two NBA rings, been named NBA Finals Most Valuable Player twice, and NBA MVP once. He has a good chance of netting another NBA title in the 2023-24 NBA season, with the Phoenix Suns having the Big Three of KD, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal.
On the season, Durant, who was traded to the Phoenix Suns from the Brooklyn Nets via a complicated four-team transaction in 2023, is averaging 28.0 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 5.4 assists per game.
