In light of this challenging situation, rumours began to circulate about Durant’s potential trade. Despite the Suns’ struggles, former San Antonio Spurs guard Danny Green stated that he believes Durant ranks higher than Nikola Jokic and Steph Curry on the all-time list.
“Durant is one of the most unique guys that I’ve ever seen play. I have him above a lot of people that most people don’t have him above.” Green said in the recent episode of Run It Back Podcast. “I think this is a topic in the show, you know, ‘most impressive career.’ It’s him and Steph. I have him above Steph, because we’re never going to see a better scorer than him at seven feet.”.
