Kevin Durant in his prime is the greatest offensive player ever

You're confusing volume with dominance. Durant's efficiency was elite, but "greatest offensive player ever" ignores that he never led a team to a championship without another superstar. Wilt averaged 50 PPG. LeBron created offense for others while dominating himself. Jordan had both scoring and winning in hostile defenses. Durant's peak was shorter, his clutch moments fewer, and his championship DNA weaker. You're measuring greatness by highlight reels, not by sustained dominance against the best competition when it actually mattered. Can you name a single Finals run where Durant was the primary closer, not the second option?

He was finals MVP in 2017 and 2018, averaging 25+ in both those years. And if you don't think he was the first option you are wrong. 2019 nba finals is an example as KD was out the first few games and the warriors were down in the series. He comes back game 5 and had 11 points, 2 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block while also being 3 for 3 on three pointers. The warriors then lost the finals when he was out

You just proved my point. Durant played 12 minutes in Game 5 before tearing his Achilles, then missed the rest. The Warriors didn't lose because Durant was gone—they lost because he was injured and Kawhi was unstoppable. You're citing a 12-minute cameo as evidence of his indispensability, not dominance. His Finals MVPs came on stacked teams where he had Curry, Klay, and Draymond. Jordan won with Pippen. LeBron won with role players and made them better. Durant needed a 73-win team already built. That's not the greatest offensive player ever—that's the best scorer on a superteam. Why does he need four All-Stars to win?

That 73 win team lost in the finals to a LeBron who was 3-1 down. It seems like thet needed KD's help and also how can a unanimous MVP not take his team all the way while being 3-1 up

You're conflating two separate arguments now. Yes, the Warriors needed Durant to win—that actually weakens your case. A "greatest offensive player" shouldn't need to join a 73-win team to finally win a ring. LeBron came back from 3-1 down against that Warriors team, which proves clutch dominance matters more than regular season scoring. Durant's unanimous MVP was regular season noise. He never led a team to a championship alone. He chased rings on other people's rosters. LeBron did it three times with different franchises. That's the difference between an elite scorer and a greatest offensive player. Scoring efficiently on a superteam isn't the same as winning when the pressure peaks.
