Kevin Durant can NEVER be in the GOAT debate 

“What haven’t I done?” - Be the clear #1 option on a championship team - Average more than 8.3 rebounds despite being 6’10+ with a 7’6 wingspan - Make an all defensive team - Take accountability for his playoff failures

Shout out Barry McCockiner for exposing KD.

Charles didn't hold back, damn

Excellent Video dissecting KD. chefs kiss

Every ring counts, there are no asterisks. But every ring has value.

The golden state superteam is more reflective of Steph Curry than KD. He couldn’t turn it on and get 1 game in the FINALS which has NEVER happened before. That’s happened over 10 times in the playoffs. End of the day It was his call he could’ve said “fuck KD run it back” but he didn’t and was even cool with adding Demarcus Cousins fresh off a 25 point 13 rebound season. Even in 2022 he had 3 other teammates averaging 17+ not even the Heatles had that

Tbf okc loved Durant more than Westbrook until he left

Kawhis 2 rings are different from Durants 2 rings, always compare the 2

Bro I watched this video 4 times. The points were soo beautifully articulated, the comedy complemented the points perfectly and the analogies used were immaculate. Well done young man, your growth shown over the past 6 months has been truly humbling. This has slowly become my favourite NBA RU-vid channel and that comes from a guy who has been watching the likes of dom2k and the rest for years.

😂😂😂😂😂trading the entire audience 😅😅..that killed me.

„he thought about trading the entire audience“ 😂😂😂

Kd is not even top 10 all time. He’s an absolute sellout and throughout his career, he’s played with some of the best guards in the game. Russ and harden, steph and klay, kyrie and harden and now he’s playing with booker and beal. This dude HAS to play with two elite guards or he’ll request a trade. People like to shit on bron, for going to miami and recruiting players, but at least bron finished all his contacts and he got all the cities he played for chips. Mj, bron, kareem, kobe, magic, shaq, wilt, bird, hakeem and bill are 10 guys i would take over kd. Shit, id take giannis over kd.

KD pulled off NBA's greatest backstab. You gotta give him that.

Ever since KD went to Golden State that stained his career

As an OKC fan this man broke the hearts of all of us Oklahomans and we still resent him to this day. But now we don’t even need him as we have SGA now and the 2 seed

"Im up to my ears.. in softness" is a crazy thing to write down, record it, and put in a commercial 🤣💀

KD will NEVER be in the GOAT debate cause he LITERALLY pulled the “if I can’t beat them, join them” card. His 2 rings have ZERO weight on him when it comes to player debates. Heck he tried joining 2 different organisations and try to make super teams out of them and FAILED!!! Now he is trying to win with the Suns and that’s not happening 😂

Dude u are a breathe of fresh air here on RU-vid. The first 20 seconds of this mans videos are fkn GOLD and the strays to doherty and N3ON

Kevin Durant is one of few people who you would never be able to please

Facts on facts. The journey and story behind the ring holds a lot of weight in how a player can be judged, it's why even though Dirk had only 1 ring, it's respected cause it was one of the most stacked playoff runs ever and Dirk led his squad all the way.

1:03 It is so poetic that KD's ring is covered by Livingstone's.

Chuck's face at the intro edit KIILED me!

I saw KD's quote online and instantly knew the Commish was on -the- his case. Gotta love your dedication to the game.

The only GOAT debate Kevin Durant is in, is in "people who are delusional about their hairline and should just let it go"

I actually rooted for him when he came to the league. He's so tall and reminded me of mcgrady. I believe if seattle was never disbanded, he never left that team. He would've had different teammates. He never liked okc. Well that's all ifs now

LeBron tradimg the entire audience 😂😂😂

“We need to stop lowering the standards of greatness.” I agree, I mean look at the basketball hall of fame, you got guys like Kyle Lowry making it in.

Omg the Charmin soft bear. That was hilarious.

NAH The Devin Booker clip along with the music had me dead lmfao

KD never won anything without Steph. he played with more all stars than Steph ever did and never won anything. Unless he had the Intangibles. Leadership, Accountability, Team building, he will never be in Goat conversations. 2016 (with Westbrook) CHOKED a 3-1 lead against the warriors 2017-18 (BS rings) 2019 (imma give him a pass, legit injury happened) 2020 (still injured) 2021 tried to be LeGM and got SUPER CHOKER James Harden who didn't even average 15ppg against the bucks. "BUT HE'S INJURED!!!" If you're injured, then DON'T PLAY! I'd rather have a healthy mediocre player than an injured all star who plays like ASS. 2022 Badly spanked by the Celtics and straight out CHOKED while Warriors beat that same Celtics team in the finals 2023 Teamed up with Devin Bricker to Lose in game 6 (In an embarrassing way) against the Joker. (The only reason why KD got them big shots was because the defense is more afraid of Curry anyway)

Forget about the GOAT conversation... Any chance KD has ever had to be in the Top 10 died the moment Steph led the Warriors to their fourth ring in 2022. That's the reality.

I feel like KD Draymond and Harden gonna put dynamo in a straight jacket

4:06 LMAO the Snuggle bear mascot pull. Dynamo is hittin!

6:50 "If you eat pure icing, you're likely to get diabetes." That cut deep, fam!

That intro killed me😂

He has to win way more championships, more MVPS more final MVPS and have more team success to even be in the discussion. I mean is he even a top 10 player right now ??? Top 15 maybe

Don’t get me wrong KD definitely has the skills and the basketball talent to be in the GOAT debate but he doesn’t have the accolades and the leadership skills which automatically disqualifies him in the conversation. To be in the goat debate you have to be a leader of men and KD is no leader.

Your videos are so unique 😂 I love it. But yeah I agree. Everything is watered down now a days. It's what did you do today now, and ppl don't even bother to research the past even tho they have a computer in their pocket. Stats seem to matter more than winning and championships.

Kevin Durant is trying to sneak through the backdoor of the GOAT debate after Shaq tried to drop Curry into the GOAT debate through the chimney. Michael Jordan still has more NBA Defensive Player of the Year awards than Scottie Pippen, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Kareem Abdul-Jabar, Isiah Thomas, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant, COMBINED! The GOAT conversation is an one-man conversation via Michael “Air” Jordan.

4:29 You made me cackle 😂 come on it's MJ it's hard enough getting to do any media thing ever since he retired my man Ramone can't fight against that

I largely agree with this. In no particular order Jordan, Wilt, Kareem, LeBron, Magic, Russell, Kobe, Shaq, Hakeem, Duncan, and Bird are all ahead of him. Then you've got the next group that he's in. Robinson, Durant, Thomas, M. Malone, and Dr J. I think youcould make the argument for him being top 15, but I also think you could put him even lower with guys like The Admiral, Barkley, K Malone, West, Garnet, Baylor and Dirk. Durant is a great player but he can't be in the actual GOAT discussion.

Hes good but i domt even have him top ten

One of the greatest RU-vid videos I have witnessed

KD is a great player, but GOAT? I don't think so. LeBron, MJ, and Kareem for me are the 3 players that have an argument to be the GOAT. He may arguably the greatest scorer, though due to his versatility scoring the ball. But even then, I would have MJ ahead of him, and probably even LeBron. KD's still a top 15 player though in my opinion.

*1)JORDAN* *2)KOBE* *3)BIRD* *4)MAGIC* *5)CURRY* *6)BIG SHOT BOB* *7)RUSSEL* *8)KAREEM* *9)WILT* *10)DUNCAN* *.•°~*HONORABLE MENTIONS*~°•.* *11A)SHAQ 11B)LEBUM* *12)A.I.* *13)KLAY* *14)DR. J* *15)BABY JESUS*

Man, KD should go to the Nuggets fr fr 😂

On behalf of the Nuggets delegation: we good dawg no thanks ✋😅

The warriors didn't need kd....they just needed someone better than Harrison barnes. That's what Durant was a upgrade over barnes. 😂😂

ngl thats just facts stacked up, youre spittin

Kevin Durant sold his basketball soul to the basketball devil and after he left golden state he is paying the price

No he is not a goat. That GS ring ruined it for him. He ran to a 70 win team. What did he expect.

"what havent i done" Go round the corner and get a 4$ pick or hairbrush

everybody in the goat debate are usually top tier or good defenders. (e.g: MJ, Duncan, Kareem, Kobe, Shaq, etc.)

Reputation wise, it's probably better not to win a championship your entire career than to actively seek out trades to teams with championship potential in hopes of chasing after rings.

"scientists at Down Bad University" sent me 🤣

to be honest, lebron shouldn't be in it too. he basically started the super team era.

He isn’t even better than giannis, kawhi or curry all time. And he’s not a notable defender at all. And he’s never won without curry. He can’t be goat level. He is top 15 worthy tho

KD will be a HOFmer, but he will never be in the GOAT conversation,,, Lebron may have made an underwhelming superteam in Miami but what KD did will go down as virtually unprecedented.

KD cant be in the GOAT conversation, Just like LeFraud James. they have not won anything by themselves. They needed a stack up team to win something and they both were RIDING the bus, Never were the driver EVER!!!...Again being popular does NOT mean you are the best...Besides this super soft cup cake era cannot be compare to other mainly because of its mediocrity, softness and lack of professionalism...The only reason people say LeFraud is in this conversation is because LeSoft himself has voiced it, but the real bball connoisseurs know James is not even close to MJ. Stop the ridiculous disrespect for the real players... This era from 2010 until now is the SOFTEST ERA EVER, all those stats don't count, anyone can score now, they allowed the 3pt to be the foundation for the game, no post no mid range and ZERO DEFENSE, a toddler can score in this era that's how bad defense is...

He's not even better than Curry. KD is 12-17 max

GSW drafted the best shooter ever ALONG with Larry Bird. They didn't draft the second best as well. Klay isn't even close to Larry.

"hes grown even more insecure in the years following" "people with burner accounts are insecue, as well as athletes who argue with youtubers" THANK YOU. finally someone said it. for me, his rock bottom was when he decided he needed to hop on random nobody's discord call for their podcast just to defend himself against the criticism of the week. people were praising this move, saying "isnt it so cool how far technology has come that someone like kevin durant can get on a discord call to be interviewed by a youtuber?" and i thought i was the only one who thought this was painfully uncool. kevin durant is supposed to be a larger than life superstar, a celebrity beyond basketball. what is he doing coming down to our level? why is he so worried about what the common person is saying about him? rather than look at the big picture, random people claimed it made him more relatable. did it though? cause all i see is someone who makes millions of dollars to play basketball unable to take the media spotlight that comes with said career needing to defend himself from some mean words on twitter. for the youtuber, yeah that was probably great to have kevin durant on his podcast. but for durant, the superstardom is shattered. for that alone, why would anyone classify him as a goat?

IMO, there's only 8 players that have a legitimate argument for being the greatest: MJ, Magic, Kareem, Wilt, Russell, Duncan, Lebron, Bird. Shaq, Robertson, Kobe and Olajuwan would be on the tier below. Maybe Curry in that tier also. KD? Nope. Look, I suck at basketball. Knees hurt, average handles, crappy jump shot. But I know enough to critique what I see on the court. Nothing against what KD accomplished, but he's a bus rider, not a driver. KD wouldn't even crack my top 25. Giannis' sole championship is more valuable than KD's two.

2:16 Excuse me, the second weakest move from a Superstar because the first and most weakest move i'm the history was Lebron joining the Miami heat along with Bosh and Wade, those three have the number one spot and nothing can top that... 🤷

KD has the body and skills of a champ but not the mind of a champ. Thats his only problem. His mind game is weak af.

I still don't even see KD as a champion... and really the Warriors only have 2 legit championships to mel

4:19 "trading the entire audience" 😭😭😭

Durant is even worse than bron. He took his talents to THE team that whooped his ass. Renegade, fake, betrayer, unloyal, trash.

Bro, THIS! This is why I love your channel. Your views on basketball are based af.

Curry should have 5 rings. KD would be in the GOAT debate if he stayed with Russ and won at least 2 rings.

Lebron & MJ has something KD doesn't have: actually carrying a ringless team to a chip

How can u fault kd for goin to the warriors wen lebron jumped to the stacked heat team

I think KDs Warriors chips should be a unit of measurement for all chips..his chips are like the 1 cent of chips.. So KDs warriors chips are worth around 4 Dirk chips....

He woulda had a better chance to be in the GOAT convo if he stayed in GS. It's still a bitch ass move but it would soft the blow if he stayed

Lebron is lucky KD went to the warriors or him going to Miami with Chris Bosh and dwade would have been the weakest move ever

Correction: Lebronze couldn never have won 3 rings in LA. Lebronze is not Kobe.

He was spectacular in Brooklyn, In my opinion. Kyrie too. I got to see them that last season... I respect the office's refusal to coddle their stars, but Damn... I really thought it was THE Season for them. The team had it's turmoil, but they had style, and it really seamed they were building an identity under Coach Vaughn.

So does the rings curry won with durant not count ?

Plus if you have to ask to be in the goat debate you definitely don’t belong in the goat debate. All it did is make KD look petty and pathetic.

KD did the same thing Lebron did but he did it with the team that beat him in the playoffs. That’s the only difference!

I like KD, easily top 20 but this video is 100% ✔ could be but his injuries took away his chances. Btw steph, jokic, giannis, kawhi are also not top 10.

Lebron and the nba started this and you guys said nothing. Talking about lebron is one of the greats. Now look at what you got.

4:18 By the way, once upon a time the Cleveland Cavaliers fans burned many replicas of both LeBron James #23 Cavaliers jersey and LeBron James #6 Heat jersey, in the streets and on camera. And once upon a time the Los Angeles Lakers fans routinely defaced LeBron James public murals on multiple occasions. Yet there are Kobe Bryant paintings and murals of both Kobe alone and of Kobe with his late daughter, all over Los Angeles from the urban areas to the suburbs, and Kobe’s public artworks look to be in perfect mint condition to this very day. 🤷‍♂️

Dynamo destroyed KD there ... finally Detroit is gonna get some much needed help !

If the suns miss the playoffs Kd will then proceed to join the Celtics.

Bruh I lost it when the Nirvana came on @1:03

KD is the world's most elite role player. People whine when I say that but can't prove to me this guy has lead any team anywhere

People criticized KD to the shadow realms for doing this but SOMEHOW forget Lebron had to do it 3 4 times for each ofhis rings

Don't worry KD, LeBron not in there either

Durant should have stayed in Golden State

Hes a fraud like The system

Well done

Bro the music plus the calm tone is just too perfect for tearing KDs ego up

The thumbnail man 😂😂😂😂

A goat can't be a bus rider.

Durant is a goat for sure at trades

I feel as though Durant running to GSW is no different than what lebron did with miami.

Dirks one chip means more

Even though I think LeBron has one of the most manufactured careers in all of sports - at least he won a championship with every team he played on. I put them in similar boats, but LeBron still managed to row his boat farther than this generational talent. This entire era was a wash in my opinion. These guys don't understand that a SINGLE ring can speak volumes simply because of the journey to winning is NEVER easy.

If Giannis or Jokic win their second chip this season I have them all time above KD KDs position is that flimsy
