He has received a lot of criticism for his decision to join the Golden State Warriors in 2016.
Recently, former NFL star Keyshawn Johnson FS1's Undisputed (h/t NBA Central).
Johnson: “Do you think if you put Paul Pierce on the Golden State Warriors with Klay Thompson, Draymond and Stephen Curry, you could do the same thing?”

Who knows what the Warriors would have done if Durant hadn't joined the team for three seasons.
That said, they made it to the NBA Finals all three years and won two titles.
Durant was named NBA Finals MVP in both tournaments.
He'll be 36 before the Suns begin the 2024-25 NBA season, but he still ranks as a top-10 player in the league.
The future Hall of Famer appeared in 75 games last year and averaged 27.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.2 blocks per game while shooting 52.3 percent from the field and 41.3 percent from three-point range.
In addition to the Suns and Warriors, he also played 16-plus seasons with the Brooklyn Nets and Oklahoma City Thunder.
