CJ McCollumgives NBAtalked about Kevin Durant and his glorious time in the Golden State Warriors. The guard of the New Orleans Pelicans did not hesitate on ESPN’s “Get Up” program when choosing what he considers the best player in the franchise in its “dynastic” phase, when he was in five consecutive finals from 2015 to 2019 and won three championships during the period; Durant joined the team in 2016.
“There is no argument about who was the best player on that team, because Stephen [Curry], Draymond [Green] and anyone knew the guy was Kevin”spiked. “He was challenged, first and foremost, to play a different style of basketball by signing with Golden State. He had to learn a new system and, on top of that, share the ball with other stars. That certainly made it more complete.”.

McCollum also added, saying that, at the time, he felt betrayed when he heard the news that the current number 7 of the Brooklyn Nets would be part of the Warriors roster. “I was on vacation when I got the news and I didn’t really believe it was serious. He had been beaten by that team, after all, before Kevin even arrived.”highlighted.
The 30-year-old athlete also revealed that he came to talk to Durant in the face of what happened and that he stated what he thought about: “I even told him I was disappointed with his decision at the time, but he has every right to make it.
