This is the perfect summary.
Curry simply has it. Durant doesn't. Curry is beloved. Durant is despised. His off-court persona is a guy who uses burner accounts to battle Twitter trolls. Durant has boxed himself into this legacy:
Thunder: Not good enough to win a title as the man.
Warriors: Championship chaser.
Nets: Needs two other superstars to compete.
Good luck overcoming that.
