Obviously, a season like 2014/15 doesn’t count, where he was out injured almost the whole season.

Durant joined the SuperSonics in 2007, averaging 20 PPG in his rookie season. He then played for OKC for many years together with Westbrook and Harden. Then he went to Golden State, playing with Curry and Thompson. After that, he joined the Brooklyn Nets and played with James Harden and Kyrie Irving. Lately, he joined the Suns with Devin Booker.

So I would say there are not many players in NBA history who had more star teammates over the years than KD. Can you still say that KD always was the #1 guy at the end of the day? Especially when it goes to the clutch time?

    Obviously he was the best player on OKC and the Nets.

    You can make the argument for Golden State. I do think it says something that teams thought the best defensive action was to try and limit Curry as opposed to KD. I think ultimately they are just two different types of players. But I’d argue that Curry had the better career, and Curry changed the game more.

    And at some point, Booker will be considered better than KD. It might even be this season, with Booker entering his prime and KD exiting it. But that’s coming.

    The cool thing about KD though - is unlike a lot of superstars. I don’t think he cares.
