Evaluation

Thunder Du has been the second in the league since 2009 until he left in 2016. The second time in MVP was the second time to LeBron James, who was in the peak period of history. In the 2013-14 season, Durant finally won the MVP championship with his outstanding performance. The four-time scoring champion has even higher grades. In NBA history, only Jordan and Chamberlain have scored more times than Durant. The first team of the 5 best teams shows that Durant is the number one forward outside James.

Thunder Career Team Achievements

Finals: 1 time (2011-2012)

Western Conference Finals: 3 times (2010-2011, 2013-2014, 2015-16)

Second round: 1 time (2012-2013)

First round: 1 time (2009-2010)

Evaluation

East and West Degrees are the touchstones for superstars. If you cannot lead the team to the division finals, it will be difficult to convince the quality of the stars. For example, in recent years, Embiid has been as strong as a tiger in the regular season and has also won an MVP. He can lead the 76ers and is always unable to break through the second round, which makes him always at a disadvantage when compared with Jokic, Antetokounmpo and others. Since 2010, Durant has led the Thunder to compete for the championship team. From 10 years, he has reached the Eastern Conference Finals in four years within five years. In 2012, the 23-year-old Durant led the Thunder to the finals. Since leaving the Thunder and the Warriors, Durant has never appeared on the stage of the East-West Finals.

Repent

The biggest regret of Durant Thunder's career is that he failed to win a championship for the Thunder.

The first person without a championship is unsteady, especially considering that Alexander has collected three top honors: scoring champion, MVP and champion. In the 2011-12 season, the Thunder Three Young Masters passed the qualifying rounds and reached the finals. The young Thunder finally paid the "tuition fee" and lost to the more experienced Miami Heat. In the 2015-16 season, Dewey made great efforts and led the team to the Western Conference Finals all the way and achieved a 3-1 lead. In the end, Curry and Clay played in a god-level performance, reversed the Thunder, and Durant missed the championship again.

Conclusion

Durant's Thunder career is the process of Durant's struggle for the championship. In this process, Durant collected almost all the top personal honors (MVP, scoring champion, best lineup, All-Star), but luck made people feel good. The trip to the Western Conference Finals (a final) ended in failure. Durant's Thunder career lacked a championship trophy.

If Durant had won the Thunder nine years of his career, he might have been like Duncan, one by one, and that would have been another good story.
