Isiah Thomas Weighs In on Durant's Legacy-Shaping Move to Warriors
March 13, 2024
Isiah Thomas spoke on Kevin Durant's major influence on the Golden State Warriors following their 2016 Finals loss.
Draymond Green played a pivotal role in recruiting Durant after the Warriors' unprecedented 73-win season ended in defeat.
Durant's addition to the Warriors led to consecutive NBA championships in 2017 and 2018, and another title in 2022.
Post-Durant, the Warriors remain a strong team, while Durant himself has not reached the NBA Finals again since leaving.
Thomas believes the legacies of Curry, Thompson, and Green would have been notably different if Durant had not joined the Warriors.
