After investing nine seasons of his career with the Thunder, KD couldn’t win the most important trophy for any NBA player – The NBA Championship. In hopes to achieve that dream, Kevin Durant left Oklahoma and joined the Warriors in the offseason.
Following the decision, Durant embraced the villain role for the next three years of his career. However, it was all worth it as he became a 2x NBA Championship as a GSW player. Furthermore, he bagged two NBA Finals MVP trophies as well. Apart from winning on the big stage, Durant had three NBA All-Star selections, one NBA All-Star MVP trophy and 3x All-NBA selections.
