Unquestionably, one of the best players of our generation is Kevin Durant. Durant was one of the most adored players in the league throughout the early years of his career. But after Durant made the decision to depart the Oklahoma City Thunder, everything changed.

He became the most hated player in the NBA. But it wasn’t due to the fact that he left OKC, it was because he joined the Golden State Warriors to form a superteam with Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green.

During Durant’s stint with the Warriors, he won two NBA Championships, and the Dubs obviously dominated the league. But even today, players are salty about KD’s move to the Warriors. Former player Evan Turner most recently called the Warriors dynasty with Durant ‘lame as f**k.’

Richard Jefferson Reacts To Evan Turner’s Comments About Kevin Durant And The Warriors Dynasty

After Turner’s comments went viral, Durant took a shot at the former NBA player on Twitter. Now, a few weeks down the line, former NBA player and current analyst Richard Jefferson discussed Turner’s comments about Durant.

Although Jefferson believes that Turner’s call-out was a bit aggressive, he still diminished the value of the two NBA Finals MVPs that KD won during his stint with the Warriors.

Via Sideline Sources:

“That’s aggressive and it’s already been covered, no superstar has taken an easier path to dominance. Bron and Bosh joined the Heat but the year before the Heat were a lower seed, not two-time finalists. KD can do it, not knocking it, but the value of Finals MVPs is weighted by the difficulty of the journey.”

Jefferson used examples of LeBron James and Chris Bosh joining the Miami Heat as a similar move, but he also mentioned there was one huge difference. It was the fact that the Heat were a lower seed before their arrival.

In the case of Kevin Durant’s move to the Warriors, not only did the organization make back-to-back NBA Finals, but they were also coming off the best regular season record in the history of the league. Keeping that in mind, it’s no surprise that the value of Durant’s two NBA Finals MVPs is certainly not as much as he would have hoped.
