NBA: Kevin Durant's Discontent With Warriors Puzzles Lakers Legend

Kevin Durant has achieved everything any NBA player would yearn for and yet he seems to be discontent. The 30-year-old has already won back-to-back titles and NBA Finals MVP, feats that any player would be proud of. So what could be missing?

This is the question hounding NBA fans and personalities. This includes former Los Angeles Lakers president Earvin "Magic" Johnson who can't seem to figure out what more the 2014 NBA MVP would want. He shared some thoughts recently on ESPN's First Take.

"So, Kevin, if you won back-to-back titles, you won MVP of the Finals as well, where are you going to find happiness at? I just want him to find happiness because when I look at Michael Jordan when I look at Kobe Bryant, this brother, Kevin Durant, is one of the greatest scorers we've seen in NBA history, so I just want him to be happy. I just don't know where he's going to find it at if he can't find it at Golden State."

As most know, Durant left Dub City and joined the Brooklyn Nets last summer. This was even though he suffered an ACL injury in the last NBA Finals, something that led many to believe that teams would get turned off. This was not the case and the speculated move to Brooklyn pushed through.

With or without the injury, most are still left wondering why leave a team where you garnered success. And from the looks of it, it was all about being top dog. With the Warriors, there is a possibility that Durant had a hard time sharing the spotlight with Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson. It is the same situation most felt he had with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Looking at the Nets, he will have to share the same spotlight as well with Kyrie Irving. Assuming Brooklyn garners success, would Durant end up with the same predicament? How does he define happiness?

These are questions that will continue to hound Durant once he does wind up his stint with the Nets. For now, he remains doubtful for the 2019-20 NBA season. But in a report from TMZ Sports, it seems he is making good progress. He has shown no signs of limp three months after surgery, raising hope that he could play later on this season.
