Kevin Durant has played on some of the most talented NBA teams ever assembled. In fact, he's only played one regular season without a future hall-of-famer on his team.

During the first three years of Durant's career in Oklahoma City, the 6-11 wingman was the beloved leader for a young core of players featuring Russell Westbrook, James Harden, and Serge Ibaka. His greatest triumph with the OKC Thunder might have come when his squad jumped out to a 3-1 series lead over the record-setting Golden State Warriors (73-9) team in the 2016 Western Conference Playoffs.

But, the Durant-led team lost the series in seven games and a few months later, he joined that same Warriors team in the off-season. Thus, making KD a basketball villain in the eyes of NBA fans and several analysts nationwide. Durant's impact on a Golden State Warriors team that already boasted the likes of Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green provided immediate dividends as they dethroned the Cleveland Cavaliers, the 2016 NBA Champions.

Although Durant became a two-time world Championship (with two NBA Finals MVPs) as the best player on the Warriors, he garnered a fair share of criticism for creating a superteam that no other franchise actually had a chance of competing with. Sports commentators such as Stephen A. Smith, Max Kellerman, Charles Barkley, and Kendrick Perkins have remained quite vocal regarding the path KD forged to get to Golden State and Brooklyn shortly after that. Skeptistim from Perkins has sparked some fiery rebuttals from his former teammate over the years.

Etan Thomas, another former teammate of Kevin Durant in Oklahoma City, recently took to Twitter to share his thoughts on the Brooklyn Nets' front office in the aftermath of the disappointing "KD, Kyrie Irving, and James Harden" era.

"I’m no GM, but if you have KD, Kyrie, and James Harden, and you end up trading all 3 but don’t get back any all stars in return, you have failed as an organization," Etan wrote. "#BrooklynNets fans should be livid at [Joe Tsai] and [Sean Marks].

This tweet prompted a response from Kendrick Perkins, who accused KD and Kyrie of being the puppet masters being the moves that were made in Brooklyn.

"I respectfully disagree!!!" Perkins wrote. "Player empowerment??? KD and Kyrie made all the decisions over there."

To that, KD chimed in with some choice words for Perkins in the comment section.

"N*ggas like perk make a living lying. Have some honor homie."
