Durant Compares 76ers to Warriors' Championship Teams

Durant said Philadelphia can feature four elite scorers, while critics said the comparison ignores age, injuries and the Warriors’ three 20-point scorers.

  • On Monday, Kevin Durant argued the current Philadelphia Sixers are more 'talented on paper' than the 2017 Golden State Warriors, citing superior scoring depth across the roster.
  • Philadelphia features four elite scoring threats in LeBron James, Jaylen Brown, Joel Embiid, and Tyrese Maxey, whereas Durant's former Golden State squad featured only three 20-point scorers.
  • Defending his move to the Warriors, Durant claimed fans apply a double standard by criticizing his choice while giving LeBron James a pass for similar roster decisions.
  • Klay Thompson responded on Instagram, tagging Durant and posting: 'What u using my full government for??' after Durant criticized his MVP candidacy.
  • Critics including ESPN's Stephen A. Smith questioned the comparison, citing the ages and injury histories of the stars involved and arguing only James and Brown are proven winners.
