Kevin Durant has been a polarizing figure in the NBA, often at the center of discussions due to his high-profile decisions and injuries. After winning two championships with the Warriors, he faced a career-altering Achilles injury, which led to a complicated series of moves, including stints with the Nets and now the Suns. As he looks for a new team, the Knicks—a team he once rejected—have made it clear they are not interested in him, largely due to concerns over his age, despite his continued scoring prowess.
LeBron James is better, Stephen Curry is more beloved, but Kevin Durant has consistently been the center of NBA drama for over a decade.
Durant's trajectory includes facing injuries, rejection by his desired Knicks team, and now, as he seeks a new destination, facing age-related skepticism.
Despite his impressive scoring and past titles, Durant's age has led the Knicks to decisively shut the door on his comeback aspirations.
The irony remains, had Durant chosen the Knicks back then, he would have been the franchise savior, yet time and perceptions have shifted dramatically.
