Arenas: If Durant did not join the Warriors, he might not have a championship for the rest of his life!
Durant's personal ability should be indisputable. His one-to-one scoring ability should be the same level as Jordan and Kobe in history, but he is not a qualified leader. This is also something that many fans questioned him. After leaving the Warriors, Durant became a "buddy" in the NBA. Whether in the Nets, the Suns or the Rockets now, Durant has not really proved himself.
For this, former NBA player Arenas said on his blog: If Durant did not choose to join the Warriors, he might not have a championship in his life. Like himself, Arenas's view has also been recognized by many fans. So the question is, is Durant's achievements really "fulfilled" by the Warriors?
Looking back at Durant's career, he actually had the opportunity to win the championship before joining the Warriors. In 2012, he led the Thunder to overcome all obstacles and reached the finals, and defeated the Miami Heat in the first game. However, after all, he lacked experience and ability, and the Heat lost the finals four consecutive games. After
, although the Thunder became a strong team in the West and was still a capable assistant like Westbrook Ibaka, Durant never entered the finals again. In the 2016 Western Conference Finals, he led the defending champion Golden State Warriors 3-1 with a score of 3-1, but was once again shockingly reversed.
After this failure, Durant was disheartened by the team and finally chose to join the Warriors, which had just defeated him. This choice was also called a "traitor" by many fans. Although he had suffered a lot of infamous, Durant experienced unprecedented happiness in this team.
Because the Warriors play basketball in the whole team, both Curry and Clay are very selfless teammates. In such a team, Durant's function is very simple, that is, scoring, and he doesn't need to organize and support the ball like in the Thunder. It is precisely because of this that Durant has played the highest scoring efficiency in his career in the past three years with the Warriors, and has won the two dream championships, and has also won two FMVPs in his personal experience.
In 2019, due to conflicts with the Warriors' management, Durant joined the Nets and formed a new "Big Three" with Irving and Harden. Originally, everyone thought that such a lineup should be able to win the championship easily, but in the playoffs, the Big Three completely disintegrated. Durant went to the Phoenix Suns, and the two and a half years in the Suns were not very successful. He came to the Rockets again this summer.
So judging from Durant's career, he has indeed left the Golden State Warriors, and has not really proved himself yet, which has also been criticized by many fans and media. Yang Yi A. Smith of the United States once said that Durant's personality cannot be the leader of a team. He needs a perfectly tolerant teammate like Curry. Therefore, this also explains why Durant's career after leaving the Warriors is so bleak! What do you think? You can leave a message below!
