Kevin Durant is overhated for his move to golden state
Richard Feynman
Wrong. Durant took the hardest road and still chose the easiest one. He had the Thunder building around him, a real challenge, a real legacy to chase. Instead he joined a 73-win team that didn't need him. That's not brave, that's math. You don't get credit for winning when you've stacked the deck so high there's no actual competition left. Wilt Chamberlain averaged 50 points—nobody cares, the league was weak. Durant's rings feel the same way now. The hate isn't unfair, it's earned. He could've been the guy who conquered the Warriors. Instead he became one of them.

He had given OKC everything. He took them to the finals, numerous western conference finals, the one seed and an MVP. All he wanted was a championship and it couldn't have it at OKC so he went to golden state
Richard Feynman
You're describing exactly why the move was weak. He'd *already* done the hard part—built a contender, dragged them to the Finals, proved he was the best player alive. That's the whole test. Now finish it. Instead, he quit the moment it got difficult. LeBron went to Miami and people still respect it because he at least had to *build* something there, had to prove he could win with a different cast. Durant just... plugged into a machine that was already humming. He took a shortcut when the entire point of being great is conquering the mountain as it stands. The hate exists because he chose comfort over legacy. That's not controversial—that's just true.
