NBA 2K16 gave Kevin Durant 100 loyalty points

While OKC Thunder was one of the best teams in the NBA when Durant left them for the Warriors, they were yet to win an NBA title. The Warriors had beaten the Thunder in a historic Western Conference Finals series, coming back from a 3-1 deficit. Fans spoke against Durant on social media, angry that Durant had joined the team who prevented them from reaching the finals.

While Durant had 100 loyalty points, his loyalty dropped to 49 after his trade to Warriors. Some fans even manually adjusted his loyalty points to zero. Durant played three finals with the Warriors before moving to the Brooklyn Nets via free agency after the 2018-19 season.

In an episode of All The Smoke podcast, Durant had revealed that he moved to Warriors as he needed a change after getting frustrated with OKC over the years. He admitted that while all his teammates were talented, no one could shoot or handle the ball and he was tired of being the one to score and make three-pointers all the time. Durant injured his Achilles heel during the 2019 NBA Finals versus the Toronto Raptors.

As a result, he was sidelined for the entire season with the Nets and will not play at the NBA restart in Orlando as well. After the NBA suspension on March 11, Durant also tested positive for COVID-19 and has since then, been cleared.
