When you talk about the Era's of certain teams, Durant will always have 1 less title as part of this Warrior squad.

Right now it appears that way but in hindsight he could overshadow all of them. Yogi Berra has ten rings (more than anyone else) but few would give him the greatest Yankee title.

It's also possible KD could outlast the rest of them.

I doubt it. Foot issues for a guys who's ~6'11 are no joke. I doubt he's a super long lived player. He's still the best guy on the team though

Diamond Stone has the posture of a gamer shut-in. No wonder he's a total bust and failure with injury issues and was humiliated by a very average looking woman with a rude attitude.

There's still a surprising amount of Town folks at the games, even during the playoffs. It's not as amazing as the 2000's but it still gets rowdy.

There are way more escorts chatting up people in line for foot/drinks now tho.

He literally just had one of the greatest Finals performances ever.

He's smart, has an outside shot and is 7' tall so he could potentially be a viable player in a Nowitzki/Duncan-esque way into his mid to late 30s.

Most hall of fame players (that don't have game based off quickness) don't fall off fast unless an injury ruins them.

Not at all but it's probably contributed to the ankle of knees injuries he's had since. We'll see I guess but I wouldn't be banking on a Dirk career path. Nowitzki never put anywhere near the stress on his limbs Durant does and he never had a major injury. He was 33 before he played less than 75 games in a season (rookie year notwithstanding but that wasn't an injury issue it was the strike season)

KD just needs to spend an off-season working with Dirk to master the one footed shot. Problem solved.
