NBA on TNT Reacts to Kevin Durant: "I Don’t Care About Legacy" 

Every time KD says he doesn't care about something, it means that he cares deeply.

After 2x MVP's, NBA Champ, Finals MVP, 7x All-Star, DPOY, and many more achievements. People still can't say Giannis' name correctly.

When an athlete doesn’t care about what fans expect of them, that’s when their happy and shine. I’m feeling it.

I’m not gonna lie.. if this is the second unit for inside the NBA I can say I’m really surprised how well it went

Kd really benefiting with no chuck and shaq there. Cause they would’ve been trying to criticize everything he said

Durant and Sir Charles beef will always be prime entertainment

Not caring about legacy is different from ignoring the comments about it. I think KD is currently doing the latter because it helps him ignore everyone talking about what this situation is right now. He's literally put himself in PHX. It is what it is. I think he actually still cares and just doesn't want to deal with the ring chase talks and bus driving or whatever. I'll believe it when enough time passes. Right now I don't think he's fooling anyone.

Jamal has done a really good job being an analyst. In my opinion. Very proud of him

KD will be remembered as an incredible talent who decided to take the easy way instead of working hard for a championship the Warriors thing ruined his legacy

We knew He stopped caring about legacy when he signed to a 73-9 2015 NBA championship team

Legacy is what matters in sports and there is no denying that. I feel like imo that’s what being a professional athlete is all about. Becoming immortalized in the rafters.

This crew has great chemistry!

Probably one of the best basketball era's ever . You got the all time scoring leader break the record, the greatest shooter of all time and a 7ft slim reaper doing things guards can do not to mention two 71 performances and kyrie displaying arguably the greatest handles we have ever seen . This is a great basketball generation.

KD is not influenced by anything, except for tweets😂

I wish chuck and shaq was there would love to see their live reaction to they would’ve been hilarious

We knew that when you left a team for a team you were supposed to beat 😂😂😂

The changing of the guard is so good for the networks future. No player hate from the older generation and no unnecessary topics from shorties like Malika Andrew’s. This is dope, need more broadcast crews like this

It's perfectly okay to be forgotten, to not be remembered. 50 years from now nobody gives AF about any of this.

Even tho I like him really much, you can't put KD in conversations with Giannis, Lebron and Steph - Greek brought the ring to Milwaukee, Lebron to Cleveland (plus set multiple records, got even more rings etc.), Steph has won four rings, multiple records, probably the best shooter etc. KD - great offense, poore defense, Warriors thing, couldn't lead a strong Nets squad anywhere near the title...Now if this thing with Suns disappoint, we surely can keep talking about the talent and skills, but being a legend and having some big legacy is a completely different thing. To put him among 10 best ever? Lol.

Isaiah is a relic. His value to the media is crazy. Wow. I'm amazed we have ppl like this on this show

He didn't care so much that he was fighting that one guy on twitter arguing that his legacy was "better" after getting swept in the first round of the playoffs 😂 It's the same thing with his leadership and him being the top dog of a team. he'll say "i just wanna ball man" when in reality that's just a way to shield himself from criticism when he can't will or lead his team like how we usually expect other "the guy"s on other teams do. whether or not you want to be the leader on the team you have no choice, that's what you get for being a top dog, unless you have someone else that can do it for you like how kawhi had lowry. kd can't even get his "friend" kyrie to stop with his drama when they were both on the nets and still sided with him even after all the flaking he has done to him and the team.

Those who got to the top by stepping on others usually want to forget the path they took

With his 4 years with us he’s going to win a ring and I pray that he stays healthy all 4 as well

Nice to see a New York Knicks reunion of the Isiah Thomas era 🤙🏽

KD is at that point of his legacy where either he will rise and be talked about for years, or yeah he was good in the era but not all time. IT won two, he is talked about in the 80s era but when the conversation of all time best, he will never be mentioned. That's is where KDs legacy right now. It's up to him now if he want his name brought when people mention top 10s, or does he want to be eventually forgotten unless his era is brought. LeBron, Steph's legacy will be brought when it comes to best all time.

In 20 years Kd’s career will be remembered hilariously

Yeah didn’t realize talk shows were all about just making sure no one’s feelings got hurt. Had to throw Isaiah Thomas at the 80s thing to make sure his feelings werent hurt. Bro there is nothing wrong with saying there was people you think are better. What MJ did what Steph Did what Magic did was way harder than what KD did. His rings still don’t count.

This just his way of saying that his legacy is set no matter what anyone says. He really a top 10-15 of all time.

Kevin Durant "Just let me ride the bus."

It’s sad when you come to a realization you just don’t match up to the all time greats so instead of trying to live up you quit and rest in content, this should be a message to young hoopers don’t be like this guy don’t look for the easy route in life, don’t take shortcuts and own up to your failures in whatever walk of life your living.

KD is a mercenary type of soldier not a general. We just gonna have to accept that. He ain't a leader like MJ or Lebron or Giannis and there is nothing wrong with that basketball wise but legacy wise yeah it matters.

IT beat MJ, Bird & Magic... that's a Legacy

In my opinion, KD is done with making the public love him. KD is just gonna play great basketball and retire. And still people always gonna talk about whose the greatest etc. He's just slowly removing his name from it and enjoying life.

Him not caring about legacy is obvious based off his moves. Guy doesn’t want to be that guy. Greatest Robin ever.

The thing is that you have to be 1. 7 footer, 2. agile enough to dribble the ball, 3. great touch to shoot from anywhere, That's almost impossible to copy, just like Shaq, Lebron, Jordan...They are special from the beginning, not just hard working...

Fact check: he’s not 7ft tall. He’s 6’10”. Close. Very close. He may seem more of a giant, and he remains unique in what and how he does what he does. But before KD came many players to inspire what big guys could do. Dirk being a prime more recent model who set the bar.

Durant can’t win without Steph. Steph won rings before and after Durant was in golden state

If KD really didn’t care about legacy he wouldn’t be so in his feelings every time Chuck talks about him. He obviously cares. Chuck keeps taking about him coz he knows KD is sensitive

Kevin “If you can’t beat them join them” Durant Legacy The 2014 MVP, 2015 MVP, 2016 unanimous MVP joined together on a 73 win team (with a DPOY and FMVP) to stop the GOAT, that beast from the east 🤣

I mean he cares enough to make a public statement about what he thinks about his legacy.

I know exactly what charles would have said. "kd's legacy of the play-in banner for the nets" LOL

He only said that because Chuck spoke the truth about him

Love Isaiah Thomas such great views and perspective. Legend

Isaiah always got bars one of my favorite basketball minds overall 👌🏽.

The Aaron rodgers of the nba 😂

These guys are just saying what KD wants to hear, with no personal opinion.

Nah, Barkley was just right. He is a bus rider.

I hope KD watching this! Mad props!!!

I might believe him if he didn’t have to make burner accounts to defend himself lol

Kd got two rings now, one of the best players we’ve seen, 7 feet tall. He has a legacy he knows that. He can say what he wants

KD will be fine, the problem on KD is he respond on little things

I mean that legacy looking real shaky without Steph maybe he should care about it

Kevin didn’t say he’s made his mark, he literally said he doesn’t care about legacy

I love KD… his greatness silenced any criticism lol

Current players shouldn’t be talking about legacy. That’s up to the fans and analysts to put them in that convo based on their performance and merits

I remember the media tearing Westbrook apart when he said he plays without any expectations.. Now when KD said he doesn't care, it's all good??

Shaq lost over a foot in height and Chuck lost like 130lbs!😮

If he didn't care about his legacy then he wouldn't have went to the Warriors or even requested a trade from Brooklyn. He just wants to be talked about

KD in my top-20 🐐. Based on technicality: 2 titles, a league MVP, 2x scoring champion, and a 50/40/90 member you deserve mention in the top-10 top-15. However, when you peel back all the layers: -he jumped ship on Steph Curry's team -he made it to 1 NBA Finals (4 conference finals) as the franchise player -post GS era... hes been exposed as the leader that I saw he wasn't since 2016.

“That was a bar” man regardless of who they add this show will never be the same without the OG cast

J Crawsover is so right with the “perfection basketball” statement

I love seems perspective. He is also a real nice person

Takes a group of ex players to understand what KD actually meant without trying to spin the narrative for views. Shaq and Chuck wouldn't have gone that hard either. Shaq would probably say he's disappointed and Chuck would just say he's at the other table. Then Kenny would say something about his rings, but then Chuck would talk about his HOF induction... Then shaq would shut em all down with "Google me."

A guy who had a burner to defend himself, who responds to randoms on Twitter, he can’t stop responding to Chuck, he IS sensitive. He’s one of the best basketball players ever, he has nothing to prove. But he’s NOT secure in anything, least of all himself.

Only thing I can say is, Kobe, Bron and Mike would've never say they don't care about legacy.

Isaiah spoke the gospel 🙏

I'm curious to know who those guys top 10 of all time is and how did KD make the list. Because if KD is on that list Steph has to be on it and higher than KD #just saying

KD really is the most talented Role Player ever.

The fact that the debate exists of who is better KD or Lebron is a legacy already.

@0:36 "Only certain guys get to talk about their legacy, and those are the guys who actually have it"

Man the part crazy to me is he drops 30 on a regular it’s sad we not appreciating his greatness cause these new nba fans don’t really care for basketball but narrative

Putting KD top 10 is just insane

I know it's not an exciting and inflammatory subject these panelists have discussed. It's refreshing to see four men giving accolades to Kevin Durant.

KD wants to be praised for his skill. Praise me cause I'm taller than everyone and shoot over anyone. Praise me cause my skills are so tremendous. Praise me even when I get outplayed by someone with lesser skill. Praise me even tho there's guys out there that compete harder than me and have accomplished more than me. Praise me for doing the bare minimum... PLAYING BALL. Cause I just wanna BALL. I just wanna suit up and make hundreds of millions of dollars to BALL. So what if I don't win. So what if I don't wanna compete. So what if I wanna bounce around teams. So what if I wanna join my rivals. SO WHAT? JUST PRAISE ME!!!

He doesn't care because he knows how everyone feels about. He's a bad bad man but he left to join the team that BEAT HIM. has that ever ever happened b4? It's like bird lost to magic then bird join the Lakers the next yr

Hoop wise, KD is a great player. That's IT.

"That Basketball don't weigh 185..." Classic

KD should be a representative for Charmin.

What a career it could have been….

Kevin "the Bus Rider" Durant. 🤣😂

Thank you thank you and thank you well said isaiah thomas.. It couldn't have been said better than that.

If hchuck was here we would get another viral moment 😂

I DON'T BLAME KD FOR DOING WHAT HE WANT TO DO WITH HIS LIFE.

I remember KD playing for Texas. He was special then, he has only built off that. He makes it look to easy, one of best scores ever!!!!! Glad he got his flowers!!!!!😎🙏

Chuck: *exactly what a bus rider says*

KD does NOT care about his Legacy the moment he joined the team that he has a 3-1 lead and beat him. KD could be on Mt. Rushmore given his skills BUT to be on that you NEED Legacy. No matter how SKILLED you are, Mentality is the defining factor of the GREATS!

They put KD top 10….😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤦🏽‍♂️😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

KD & Drake are homeboys & share a same wavelength. KD’s comment is basically paraphrasing what Drake said in “Trophies” - “What's the move? Can I tell the truth? If I was doing this for you then I'd have nothing left to prove Nah, this for me though I'm just tryna stay alive and take care of my people And they don't have no award for that Trophies, trophies”

KD cared and tried what the media said he needs to carry his own team to win it all. But look at what he got from Kyrie and his age. Of course he does not care it anymore.

I'm with the 🐍 on this one. I truly don't care about his legacy.

good attitude, don't care about the outside just win, just know that your decisions have consequences, and right now, i can see a lot of people disrespecting you because you act like you are the sh8 but you are not since you've only won with everything given to you on a massive plate.

I think once he left the warriors his legacy left the universe

People want too much from KD. He's just a guy who loves to hoop and hoops at an Elite level.

Was it just me, but when Isaiah named the players with a legacy in the 80's. He did not want to name Jordan? Or maybe he was trying to put MJ in the 90's. But, for him to say Jordan's name second to last [I know it wasn't in any particular order] seemed a little odd......or I could be trippin.🤔

I know one thing Steph legacy is better and brighter than KD 💨💯

KD is so cool. Just want to play, enjoy life and listen to good music. The man is so chill. Why should he give a f about legacy and all this bs.
