Is Kevin Durant 5 Hall Of Famers Away From Another Title?

Some fans call him soft. Others, like Twitter user @DevinKurant argue he’s the greatest of all time. Since the superstar forward has lacked elite talent around him throughout his career, with the exception of Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Russell Westbrook, James Harden twice, and Kyrie Irving, we may never find out what his true ceiling is. But what if, by some stroke of luck, Kevin Durant was suddenly surrounded by five Hall of Famers?

Think of the damage he could do if those Warriors teams also had Kawhi Leonard and Anthony Davis. How would you defend against that team? How would you score on them? If those guys had all played together for their entire careers, how many rings would they have? At least five or six. Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen won six rings together. But imagine if Jordan had five Scottie Pippens. That’s like, 30 rings. 

Can Durant recruit five more Hall of Famers to help take him over the top again? Or will the sun set on his career before he can team up with LeBron, Giannis, Jokic, and Luka on the Suns? Only time will tell. Until then, Durant will just have to live with the fact that Danny Green has more championships than him and is therefore the superior player.
