Alright, so today I decided to dig into Kevin Durant’s time with the Golden State Warriors. It was such a huge deal when he joined them, and I wanted to really understand what went down.
First, I started by watching some old game highlights. Man, those were some crazy games! I focused on the playoff series, especially the ones against the Cavaliers. I wanted to see how Durant fit in with Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green.
Then, I moved onto reading some articles and interviews from that time. I wanted to get a feel for the media coverage and the reactions from fans and other players. I remember there was a lot of talk about whether it was “fair” for Durant to join such a stacked team.
My Deep Dive into Stats
After the general stuff, I dove into the stats. Here’s what I mainly looked at:
- Points per game: I compared his stats before, during, and after his time with the Warriors.
- Field goal percentage: How efficient was he, really?
- Assists: Did he become more of a playmaker with the Warriors?
- Playoff performance: Because that’s where it really matters, right?
I spent a good chunk of time just looking at numbers, and I started making charts with a pen and paper.
Then I realized how Durant really elevated his game during the playoffs, those finals MVPs weren’t just for show.
Finally, I thought about the whole legacy thing. How did this move impact Durant’s overall career? How do people view him now compared to before? It’s still a topic of hot debate, and I can see both sides of the argument. It was all pretty interesting, and it gave me a lot to think about.
