On February 15, Beijing time, after leaving the Thunder, Durant, Wei Shao and Harden had different basketball careers, showing different personalities and choices.
First of all, Harden's departure was a passive move. As a superstar of the Thunder, he led the team to the Finals, but ultimately lost to the Heat. However, when it came to renewing his contract, the Thunder's management failed to give him enough support, causing him to be distracted. Eventually, he was traded to the Rockets.
In contrast, Durant's departure was an initiative. After years with the Thunder, Durant is eager to pursue higher honors and better development. So, he chose to join the Warriors and join forces with Curry. The move was seen as a powerful alliance in the basketball world and was highly controversial, but at least Durant won two championships and an FMVP.
Wei Shao's departure is a move of hope. During the Thunder period, Wei Shao was the hope of the team, but he has been unable to help the team win the championship for many years, and in the absence of any hope of winning the championship, the fans of the Thunder team also hope that Wei Shao will leave, so Wei Shao left with hope.
In this process, the friendship of the three young thunderers has also been tested. Although they had fought side by side together, their respective goals and interests gradually diverged after leaving the Thunder. However, even after the separation, they still maintain a certain connection and interaction. After all, they were once one of each other's closest comrades-in-arms, and this friendship will not easily disappear.
Today, the Thunder has become one of the legends in basketball history. Their departure methods and choices, while different, have left a lasting impression and memory on fans. Whether it's Durant's journey to the Warriors, Westbrook's Rockets teaming up or Harden's Rockets glory, they have all written their own basketball chapters in their own way. In the future, they may continue to create new miracles and legends in the field of basketball.
