Golden State and injuries
His best years were in the Warriors, where he played from 2012 to 2016, being the starting pivot of a team that revolutionized basketball and with which he won a ring. In addition, he was a key player during the 73-9, which gave Golden State the best record ever in the regular season.
Kevin Durant’s arrival in San Francisco led to his departure to Dallas first and then to Cleveland: in the Cavs he only played 58 seconds after fracturing his tibia in his first game with LeBron. Injuries have been his big headache: ankle, wrist, elbow sprain, knee … his body never gave a player a break with a superlative reading of the game.
