Kevin Durant Reveals He Does Not Regret Leaving Warriors for Nets

• Kevin Durant has said he does not regret leaving the Golden State Warriors for the Brooklyn Nets
• The Phoenix Suns superstar received heavy criticism when he left the Nets to join Phoenix
• The veteran forward was also blasted for joining the 73-9 Golden State Warriors in 2016

In 2016, Kevin Durant made one of the most controversial moves in basketball.

He left the Oklahoma City Thunder to join the 73-9 Golden State Warriors. He won two NBA titles there before leaving to join the Brooklyn Nets. He recently said he doesn't regret leaving the Warriors, who won their fourth title in eight years last season.

The Phoenix Suns star has been heavily criticized for his actions in 2016. He made the Warriors even more potent. They won the NBA title in 2017, losing just one game in the process (16-1).

He won another in 2018 and was close to a three-peat in 2019 but suffered a long-term injury. He joined the Nets, teaming up with Kyrie Irving and James Harden.

Fast forward three years later, and none of those superstars play for the Nets. It has been called the biggest failed experiment in NBA history.

Durant on regrets

At 34, Durant doesn't let any of the scrutiny and criticism bother him. He will go down as one of the greatest players in NBA history when it's all said and done.

Durant never reached the Eastern Conference finals with the Nets, and seeing what the Warriors achieved last season, some wonder if he regrets leaving the Bay Area. His answer was crystal clear, per Fox Sports.

"Hell, no," he said. "I don't regret anything I do. I don't regret my time in the league because I feel like I maximize every day as a player. I feel like I get the most out of myself every time I step on the floor."

The Suns are undefeated with Durant (8-0), although he's only played eight games with them, per Bleacher Report.

He is looking to win another title with the Suns. Many experts have tipped them to go all the way to the finals. Durant may be the one to deliver their first-ever NBA championship.

"No beef" between Durant and Westbrook

Sports Brief earlier reported on Westbrook reiterating that there's no beef between him and former Thunder teammate Durant. The former teammates will face each other for the first time in a playoff setting.

The Los Angeles Clippers star made it clear that there is no animosity between the two of them, saying:

"It will be normal for me. I think people still think like there's some beef or something. There's no beef of any [kind], so I think that's the good narrative for media, for people to talk about."
