Kevin Durant, the star player for the Phoenix Suns, has undoubtedly accomplished enough over his career to earn that acknowledgement from the NBA community.
Let’s temporarily set aside KD’s legacy, though, as the Suns star discussed his thoughts on Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets ranking among the best 10 NBA players of all time.
All we wanted to do was get back up and play better and harder. We had a difficult task, but I was pleased with how we completed it because the Nuggets are a physically strong team and had Jokic, who is undoubtedly the finest player in the world and among the top 10 players of all time,” Durant said.
Durant made the comments after securing a 110-100 win over the Nuggets during their NBA Christmas Day matchup.
It was a sweet win for the Suns as they were handed a defeat by Jokic and Co. in their previous meeting. In Devin Booker’s absence, Durant led the charge for his team with 27 points, 4 rebounds, and 6 assists in 38 minutes of playing time.
As for the Nuggets, Jokic gave his best, but even his 25-point double-double proved useless against the Suns.
Despite getting the dub, Durant ensured to praise his rival and has made it clear that the Joker belongs in all-time NBA debates.
