The Kevin Durant Hate Has Gone Too Far Kevin Durant has had a lengthy and incredibly successful that included him winning an MVP and multiple titles and has had a historic playoff performance just a year ago but Durant is now commonly being called a non top 5 player as ESPN even put Durant as the 8th best player in the league, behind Jayson Tatum and only one spot ahead of Ja Morant. Despite the rough playoff series against the Boston Celtics, Durant still wasnt terrible as he averaged 26 points a game and had a great regular season but hating Kevin Durant has started to get fun and popular among NBA fans but we must realize that Durant is still a top 5 NBA player and that the hate has gone too far.
