3. Kevin Durant

Playoff averages vs Warriors: 30.0 PPG, 8.0 RPG

Before becoming a Golden State Warrior himself, Kevin Durant used to torch the Dubs. It seemed as if every time he was matched up against the Warriors he had a huge game. Some of his best moments came playing against Golden State.

In his first and only playoff series against the Dubs, he averaged 30.0 points and 8.0 rebounds a game. He was dominating the floor through five games and gave his team a 3-1 lead. As we all know, KD ended up losing that series, but his performance was still monstrous.

Outside of the playoffs, Durant terrorized the Warriors in the regular season. For his career, he has 16 different games in which he scored at least 30 points against the Warriors. The highest scoring game on this list is when KD lit the Warriors up for a career-high 54 points on 68 percent shooting.

A few other notable games from his career against Golden State include multiple 40+ point 10+ rebound performances. For his career, KD holds a 20-17 record when playing the Warriors.

Would Durant still be killing the Warriors had he never joined them? We may find out the answer to this question if he decides to leave in free agency this year. For now, all we know is what he used to do.
