The Athletic's interview with Durant revealed that his attention now lies in his team's daily advancement, not his legacy. He no longer aims for individual recognition.
Durant shared that people disregard logic when it comes to him, adding a narrative to discredit him. This has been consistent since his move to the Warriors.
Durant expressed disappointment in engaging with dishonest people who constantly raise the bar and label him a failure. He learned to accept varying opinions and focus on his own success.
Undoubtedly, Durant's status as an exceptional scorer is indisputable. He could retire now and still be regarded as a top 20 player and a definite Hall of Famer, thanks to his unmatched skill in self-shot creation and jumpers.
Durant's achievements are a showcase of his limitless talent: 4x scoring champion, 2x Olympic gold medalist, 13x All-Star, 10x All-NBA, 2x NBA champion and 1x MVP.
