According to The Athletic, Kevin Durant has expressed that he is not concerned about his legacy at this stage.

The website conducted a comprehensive interview with Durant regarding his mindset as a Phoenix Sun.

Kevin Durant, the new forward for the Phoenix Suns, is expected to help lead the team to its first-ever championship. The Suns traded beloved forwards Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder, four first-round picks, and a pick swap in 2028 to acquire Durant, highlighting the team's commitment to winning. Durant, a two-time champion, stated in his introductory press conference that he wants to prove himself with the Suns. However, in an interview with The Athletic, he revealed that he is no longer concerned about his legacy but rather how his team can maximize its potential every day. Despite missing his first shots in his home debut game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Durant helped the Suns win the game and expressed his excitement about being back on the court with his team. With Durant in the lineup, the Suns have a 4-0 record and are currently on a three-game winning streak, placing them ahead of the Los Angeles Clippers for the No. 4 seed in the Western Conference. Durant's performance, averaging 24.0 points on 56.7 percent shooting, will be crucial for the Suns to have a chance at winning the championship.
