NBA Icon's Shocking Take on Kevin Durant's Controversial Statements
Carmelo Anthony, the legendary figure of the Denver Nuggets & the New York Knicks, responded to Durant's latest remarks.
In a recent conversation with Duane Rankin of the Arizona Republic, Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant asserted that he would be in the GOAT (Greatest of All Time) discussion if he had never joined the Golden State Warriors. Durant stated,"Because I went to the Warriors. Why shouldn't I be in that? That's the question you should ask. Why not? What haven't I done?"
These remarks sparked controversy, with many questioning whether Durant's career achievements warrant inclusion in the GOAT conversation. Responding to Durant's comments, NBA legend Carmelo Anthony shared his perspective on his 7PM in Brooklyn podcast.
«I hate the GOAT talk he will go down as arguably the most purest scorer that this league has ever seen. He's a five level scorer. There's nowhere he can't score on the court. He's a champion He's seven feet. He changed the game. How [are] you not going to say he's not in the conversation with the GOAT?... If we talking ring culture, Michael Jordan is not the GOAT, Bill Russell is But people gonna say Michael Jordan is the GOAT to answer the question, yeah, that man is in the GOAT talk. He is a GOAT."
Anthony's perspective adds nuance to the discussion, suggesting that the concept of the "GOAT" should consider players like Durant, who may not be the overall greatest but have excelled in specific aspects, warranting their inclusion in the conversation.
