Could be the first truly solid player as these are all very low level (impact) players. Though shout out to Earl for having a few nice minutes during our 94 run.
From the article. Durant is fvkng Amazing! Durant (6-10, 240) is a former MVP, 15-time All-Star, 11-time All-NBA selection (First Team six times; Second Team five times), four-time scoring champion, and a two-time NBA champion and Finals MVP. He also holds a men’s Olympic basketball record with four gold medals. In 17 seasons, Durant has appeared in 1,123 games while averaging 27.2 points, 7.0 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.13 blocks and 1.05 steals. He is one of six players in NBA history with career averages of at least 25.0 ppg, 7.0 rpg and 4.0 apg, joining Elgin Baylor, Wilt Chamberlain, Luka Dončić, LeBron James, and Oscar Robertson. Durant is the only player in league history averaging those numbers along with at least 1.00 spg and 1.00 bpg. Durant joins Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, LeBron James, and Karl Malone as the only players in NBA history with career totals of at least 30,000 points, 7,000 rebounds, 4,000 assists, 1,000 steals and 1,000 blocks. Durant ranks eighth all-time in scoring with 30,571 points and needs 849 to pass Chamberlain for seventh and 990 to pass Dirk Nowitzki for sixth. In 2024-25, Durant started all 62 of his games played for Phoenix while averaging 26.6 ppg, 6.0 rpg, 4.2 apg and 1.24 bpg. He was one of six players who averaged at least 26.0 ppg, 6.0 rpg and 4.0 apg last season and joined Giannis Antetokounmpo as the only players to have done so while also averaging at least 1.00 bpg. Durant also had the second-highest 3-point percentage (.430) of any player who averaged at least 2.0 3-pointers made in 2024-25. Durant has averaged at least 25.0 ppg in each of his past 16 seasons played. LeBron James (20 times) is the only other player in NBA history with more than 12 seasons averaging 25-plus points. Last season marked Durant’s third straight season, and his seventh overall, shooting 50.0% or better from the floor and 40.0% or better from 3-point range. No other player in league history has more than three seasons accomplishing that while averaging at least 25.0 ppg. Durant also has the second-best career free throw percentage (.882) of any player with at least 6,000 attempts.
lol agree. Pat Riley would retire your jersey after 2 months and maybe a mob killing for him on the side.
It was probably a stipulation of his. Rockets- we're gonna trade for you KD- alright, I'll agree, but get rid of that scrub that's wearing #7, for pennies, cause I ain't paying him shet for my number. Rockets- say less
