James Worthy believes that Kevin Durant deserves to be considered among the greatest players in basketball history. Worthy admires Durant’s exceptional versatility, particularly his ability to score from long range, including beyond the three-point line.
He also highlights the Suns player’s unstoppable mid-range game, noting that few can defend him effectively in that area. In addition to his offensive prowess, Worthy points out that Durant is also a strong defender, a quality that often gets overlooked.
When discussing the elite players who could be considered in the conversation for the greatest of all time, Worthy asserts that Durant unquestionably belongs in the top tier, citing his all-around talent and unique impact on the game.
“I just love his range, the way he can move out to the three, you can’t stop him in the mid-range game, he’s a pretty good defensive player, and he doesn’t get talked enough about.
“If you’re talking like top seven guys who can be the greatest of all time, he’s in there in my opinion. He’s just a phenomenal player.”
