I mean, Harden and Westbrook have also had as many teams as Durant at this point:
Durant: OKC, GSW, BRK, PHO, (HOU)
Harden: OKC, HOU, BKN, PHI, LAC
Westbrook: OKC, HOU, WAS, LAL, LAC, DEN
FWIW Carmelo Anthony also played for a lot of teams, although admittedly most of them were right at the end:
DEN, NYK, OKC, HOU, POR, LAL (and I guess technically he was on the Hawks for a while although he never actually played there IIRC).
I think longevity is a big part of it. But also I think the current CBA has really juiced player movement by making it harder for teams to retain their own players.
I mean, they have their flaws but they've both won MVP of the league and are locks for the Hall of Fame. I think it's reasonable to call them All Time Greats, even if there's an argument that Durant's career has been better than both.
I could argue about Harden’s MVP, and for sure RW’s was undeserved.
I suppose that it depends on what we understand for “all time greats”
KD could be in that category for me, the other two, don’t
Brody is a teir or 2 below KD. Harden was a great scorer for a while but he's not KD. The top 50-75 guys in history seen to stick with 1-3 teams it seems.

NOH, LAC, HOU, OKC, PHO, GSW, SAS. I think that's the Hall of Famer with the most teams I can think of.
