Every NBA fan knows the great GOAT debate between Michael Jordan and LeBron James, but wildy, Kevin Durant thinks that he should also be part of the GOAT conversation.
So, why isn’t he part of that conversation? Durant thinks he knows the answer.
“Because I went to the Warriors,” Durant said in an exclusive interview with The Republic. “Why shouldn’t I be in that? That’s the question you should ask. Why not? What haven’t I done?”
Unfortunately for KD, NBA fans definitely don’t agree with his stance and are absolutely roasting him for it.
The best reactions to his GOAT take are below, and the fans do raise some valid points.
If anything, curry is closer

Even if we count your 2 rings and 2 FMVPs with the Warriors, that’s not enough to put you in GOAT conversation

I like Durant as a player, I like him more than I like Bron, but his career has been underwhelming ever since he went to Golden State & after. He hasn’t lead a team to a title. He hasn’t made the finals since. He’s too okay with letting Booker/Kyrie/Curry take over. That’s not…
