2016年7月5日,凱文-杜蘭特離開了雷霆,正式加盟金州勇士隊,新合同為期2年,總價值5430萬美元

This news shocked the league at the time, and the level of amazement was definitely no less than that of the Mavericks sending Doncic away. If the Mavericks send Doncic away, all the players in the league are worried about their own whereabouts. When Durant joined the Warriors, it would undoubtedly be desperate for all teams, because they could no longer see the hope of a championship.

Winning the championship trophy twice in three years, and winning the FMVP trophy in the finals twice, it is still not worth saying that when you come, we are the championship team.

Green's classic quote that shocked the alliance will also be like a sharp blade piercing the chest of the Grim Reaper, becoming the real culprit of the end of this relationship.

2021年6月17日,2021-22賽季NBA總決賽正式落下了帷幕,金州勇士103-90擊敗了綠衫軍塞爾特人,從而以大比分4-2戰勝對手,時隔4年重奪NBA總冠軍。

This time to win the championship, so that the Green formula closed the loop, and even when you came, we were the champion team, and after you left, we were still the world quotation of the champion team, and it ushered in the finale.

Two astonishing remarks allowed Green to defend the majesty of the Golden State, and also put Durant in danger not only did not rise in history after winning the Finals FMVP trophy twice

And after Green's remarks continued to ferment, Barkley's remarks also made the superstar who won the championship trophy twice and the Finals FMVP trophy twice, and the MVP gold content plummeted, and even due to the successive voices of Green, Barkley and other players and celebrities, Durant's historical status also plummeted, and even Curry, who won the Finals FMVP trophy, was directly overtaken, so that he struggled extremely much after that, and did not hesitate to rush for quick success and quick profit to keep warm, so as to prove his well-deserved historical status.

In the 25-0 season, Golden State acquired Butler through a trade, and after Butler joined, the Warriors were promoted from a playoff fringe team to a playoff team, and even expected to compete for a championship trophy.

For the Warriors, once Butler joins the team and lets the team win the championship again, and Durant decisively rejects his predecessor after the team recruits, this history will definitely be mentioned again, and it is likely that Golden State will affect Durant's historical status again after Butler joins the team.

Today, we take an in-depth look at whether Butler's ability to help Golden State win the championship after joining the team will be another blow to Durant's historical status. We need to analyze it from two aspects.

-- The positive impact is very limited --

Championship year and background differences: Durant joined the Warriors in 2018 and 0, when the Warriors were a strong team that had already won championships, and Durant's addition was the "icing on the cake".

And Butler joined in 2025 years, when the Warriors had a poor record and even fell out of the play-offs, and his arrival was a "charcoal in the snow". Therefore, even if Butler leads the team to win the championship, it cannot be denied that Durant's contribution to the Warriors winning the championship in the first place cannot be denied, and the positive impact on his historical status is very small.

Independent individual honor system: Durant has 1 NBA championships, 0 Finals MVP, 0 regular season MVP and many other honors, which he has won through his own performance at different times, and Butler's victory in the Golden State will not directly affect Durant's existing honor system.

In other words, even if Butler wins the championship in Golden State, he can't shake the contribution made by Durant in Golden State that year, just like the fact that Golden State won the championship before and after Durant joined, it can only prove that Golden State is a great team, but it can't deny Durant's value, his existence still has a positive meaning and value, not a fact that Green's remarks and Barkley's bus rhetoric can be completely denied.

-- Negative effects can arise --

External Circumstance:Green has hinted that if the Warriors win a championship because of Butler's arrival, he will continue to taunt Durant, believing that the latter was wrong to refuse to join the Warriors. And Green also said that Butler is far superior to Durant in some ways, and sees Durant as a single scorer. This kind of public opinion may ferment among some fans and the media, causing some people to have more negative views of Durant, which in turn will affect the evaluation of his historical status to a certain extent.

For Green, he is extremely vindictive, and Green is just the mouth of the Warriors, after all, Durant publicly rejected Golden State, which will undoubtedly be a very faceless thing for the Warriors, and it will be a heavy blow to everyone, Butler can help him win the championship in the team, Green will inevitably spray Durant again, in order to vent the team's dissatisfaction with Durant's not coming to help, so that Durant will encounter rumors again, which will be expected, and it will also be Green's big mouth in the league, Things you have to do after winning the title.

Highlight the impact of personality differences:Butler is outgoing"big brother"Character, being able to get along with teammates quickly and make the team atmosphere more united. Durant, on the other hand, has a relatively introverted personality and has been described as "Globular disease"Stuffy gourd. This difference in personality may give the impression that Butler is more integrated into the team and inspires his teammates, but Durant may have a certain impact on his image in terms of team integration, which will have an indirect negative impact on the evaluation of his historical position.

In other words, Butler's aggressiveness and Zhang Yang's personality make him see him more as a leader, and Durant as a superstar singles king. Maybe Butler's personal ability is not as good as Durant's, but his ability to lead the team is not inferior to anyone, and Durant's ability to lead the team has not been respected and recognized under the recruitment of black and his own performance, which will also be the difference between the two, if Butler wins the championship with the team, he will inevitably become famous, and even Durant will inevitably suffer ridicule and roaring, and even in the case of fearful words, it will be inevitable to encounter the impact and humiliation of public opinion.

To sum up, Butler's victory in Golden State will not fundamentally change Durant's place in history, nor will Durant suffer a real loss. His honor is fixed and will not be affected by this shock. But there may be some small fluctuations in public opinion and some people's cognition, especially Green's agitation, and after being disliked by the current incumbent, if he wins the championship, Green will inevitably humiliate Durant again, so that he can get back face, because Durant's rejection of the Warriors will be extremely faceless for the entire team such as Curry, Kerr and Green, and if Green wins the championship, he will inevitably return a tooth for a tooth, and Durant will once again accept the roar and thunder crit of Golden State.

What do you think Durant will suffer if Butler and Curry win the championship, will it change his place in history, and will it affect the decisions and choices of the Grim Reaper offseason?
