Kevin Durant's two championships with the Golden State Warriors are often undermined, with a lot of people calling it unimpressive. However, the now-Brooklyn Nets star doesn't think that's the case at all.
After a hater criticized him for the “weak” move and for being unable to win without superstars around him, Durant didn't hold back and had an epic clapback to the Twitter troll.
I guess I’m not good at basketball anymore lmao

While it's easy to play down Kevin Durant's achievements with the Warriors, especially since he joined a team coming from a 73-9 season, there is also the argument that the Dubs wouldn't have won in 2017 and 2018 without the help of KD.
Besides, Durant won the Finals MVP award in both instances, which speaks volumes on his massive contribution to the Warriors.
Of course, it's true that Durant chose the “easiest” path to the title. But then again, everyone knows that winning in the NBA is no easy feat–even if you have all the talent in the world. Just look at what happened to KD and the Nets despite having two other superstars in Kyrie Irving and James Harden.
Simply put, the road to the championship is a tough one to traverse and credit should always be given to those who have successfully went through it.
As for Durant, there will always be haters ready to question his legacy. Maybe it's time for him to accept that is something that comes with being a good basketball player.
