At age 35 it's pretty safe to say that Kevin Durant is out of his Physical Prime. But that hasn't stopped him from still being one the most efficient and high volume scorers across the NBA.

Na, he does. If he didn't care he would've stayed in Brooklyn. But he forced his way out to join the Suns and try form another superteam with Booker, then push the organisation to trade for Beal. But it hasn't worked out how he wanted it to so he's like whatever, he'll just keep doing his thing

Literally might be the single worse defender on the Suns... what are you smoking? He religiously ball watches the entire defensive possession and allows backdoor cuts/offensive rebounds every single time. Not to mention the lack of proper positioning, help side defense, and then turning the ball over more than anyone, I truly don't think he is helping the Suns at this point. Cam and Bridges would have been better system players who actually contribute towards wins.

If he had a real pass first PG his whole career and solid team around him,he could have done even more. People forget,he had 4 scoring titles with Russ.
