The latest addition to the Phoenix Suns has already started to make a mark with his new team. After making his debut against the Charlotte Hornets, Kevin Durant continued the process of settling in with his new team. Not only that, but Durant also managed to make history in his second game in a Suns jersey. This forced LeBron James and Stephen Curry fans to surprisingly join hands just to downplay KD’s historic achievement.

Since his Oklahoma City Thunder days, fans’ perception of Kevin Durant has been somewhat negative and hostile. Even analysts have claimed that he can only win championships if he joins other superstars in the league. However, no one can deny the greatness of Durant’s game and he added to his accomplishments during the Suns’ win against the Chicago Bulls.

LeBron James and Stephen Curry fans unite

Kevin Durant had joined the Golden State Warriors and won back-to-back championships with the team. Since then, a majority of the fans have viewed KD as incapable of winning a championship on his own.

Be that as it may, Durant’s start with the Phoenix Suns sure made history as he climbed the all-time scoring ladder. Durant surpassed NBA Hall of Famer, Oscar Robertson to claim the 13th spot on the list.

However, some fans still decided to not give KD credit for his efforts. One fan tweeted, “He got carried by curry.”

While another fan commented, “Guess who’s number 1.” As the fan referred to LeBron James surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the all-time scoring record.

Here are a few more reactions from fans on Twitter.

The diehard Kevin Durant fans surely celebrated and appreciated his accomplishment. While others tried to tear down his most recent achievement.

Kevin Durant: then and now

Kevin Durant’s time with the Brooklyn Nets was marred with controversy and disappointment. His teammates missed games due to injuries and off-court issues, which led to the offensive load landing on KD’s shoulders.

Moreover, every time the Nets front office tried to add a third star with Durant and Kyrie Irving, things just never worked out. James Harden left the Nets to join the Philadelphia 76ers after just over a year in Brooklyn. On the other hand, Ben Simmons seems far from a star during his time with the Nets.

So now it seems like the two-time NBA champion is surrounded by players who want to win. Devin Booker is a proven scorer for the team while DeAndre Ayton is more than capable of holding down the paint.

To top it all off, this will be the first time Durant will be playing with a pass-first mentality point guard. So, it will be exciting to see Chris Paul find Booker and Durant for open looks every night as they hit the floor.

And who knows? It won’t be long before Durant is in the top 10 on the all-time scoring list.
