As two superstars of the era, Curry and Durant both have very brilliant and successful careers, and their careers have also come to the end. Even though Curry and Durant are now 36 years old, they are still the core and leaders of their respective teams, and they still performed competitively this season.
As the greatest player in Warriors history, Curry is still the leader of the Warriors this season. Although his state has fluctuated, he is still the most reliable player of the team. So far this season, Curry has played 24 games for the Warriors, averaging 31.2 minutes per game, scoring 22.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.2 steals, and 0.5 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 44.4%, a three-point percentage of 41.1%, and a free throw percentage of 92.3%.
Although Curry's state is very unstable this season, he is still the absolute core of this Warriors team and the most relied-upon scorer. So far this season, Curry has scored a total of 540 points with an average of 22.5 points, ranking first in the team. The instability of Curry's state has also led to the Warriors' poor performance this season. So far, the Warriors have only achieved a record of 15 wins and 14 losses, falling to 10th in the West, in the playoff play-in area. The Spurs behind them are only 0.5 games away, and the playoff situation is not optimistic.
Looking at Durant this season, he still performed excellently on both offense and defense, and he is still the key player of the team. So far this season, Durant has played 19 games for the Suns, averaging 35.7 minutes per game, scoring 27.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 0.8 steals, and 1.2 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 51.1%, a three-point percentage of 40.9%, and a free throw percentage of 84.3%, performing comprehensively and efficiently. Unfortunately, Durant's health has become a problem again this season, and he has missed 10 games in the first 29 games of the season.
Despite frequent injuries, Durant's offensive firepower remains unabated, and he is the team's top scorer. So far this season, Durant has scored a total of 515 points with an average of 27.1 points, making him the most relied-upon offensive point of the team. This season, the Suns started strong but then faltered, once achieving the best record in the West at the beginning of the season. However, during Durant's absence, the team's record also slipped. So far, the Suns have only achieved a record of 15 wins and 14 losses, ranking eighth in the West, in the playoff play-in area. Obviously, Durant is still the key player who determines the outcome of this team.
Overall, Curry and Durant, both 36 years old, have reached a turning point in their careers this season. For Curry, although he still plays the absolute core of the Warriors and has unlimited firing power, the help given by the team is indeed limited, and the unstable lineup also makes his state fluctuate, and the team's overall performance is also struggling. As for Durant, although he has once again performed at the top level individually, injuries have found him again. It also proves that if the Suns want to win more victories and go further, Durant's health is crucial. In terms of comprehensive performance and team influence, it is obvious that Durant is better than Curry this season!
