Former NBA player and three-time Dunk Contest champion Nate Robinson regards Kevin Durant highly. According to him, the two-time NBA champion is already above NBA legend Charles Barkley. Durant, who is set to miss this entire season, is widely regarded as one of the best players in the league, and some even say he is the best.

Via Brandon ‘Scoop B’ Robinson on Heavy:

Nate Robinson already considers Durant a great. When I asked him where he place him on his Mount Rushmore, he was quite candid.

“Anywhere over Charles Barkley,” he joked. “Anywhere over Sir Charles. And he’s a Hall of Famer.”

After winning two rings with the Golden State Warriors, KD signed with the Brooklyn Nets last summer. However, he is yet to make a debut for his new team as he ruled out by the Achilles injury during the 2019 NBA Finals.
