NBA icon Kevin Durant has given his verdict in the long-running Lionel Messi vs Cristiano Ronaldo debate, and it's safe to say he didn't sit on the fence when deciding
NBA icon Kevin Durant has entered the long-standing debate between football icons Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo , crowning the Portuguese forward as the "GOAT".
The argument over which of the two footballers reigns supreme has been a hot topic among sports enthusiasts and experts for years, often leading to divided opinions. However, Durant, a two-time NBA champion, double MVP, and triple Olympic gold medallist, didn't hesitate to share his perspective, given his own experience in achieving sporting excellence.
Speed responded with laughter, acknowledging that "KD is a Ronaldo fan" and recognising that the former Oklahoma Thunder star "knows who the GOAT is". For those looking to delve deeper into the Ronaldo vs. Messi debate, comparing their extensive list of accolades, both team and individual, could provide further insight into their legendary status.
With a total of 45 senior titles, Messi is considered by many as the most decorated player in football history. His leadership in Argentina's victory in the 2022 World Cup further solidified this belief among several commentators and players, however, Durant begs to differ with Ronaldo winning three league titles, an FA Cup, two League Cups, the Champions League, Club World Cup and Community Shield during his two successful stints with United.
