Durant averaging 2.5 blocks a game?

[Malta]

He just doing this KD best defender on the Warriors shyt to spite Draymond

David West and Jordan Bell have been amazing defensively this year as well.

@CHICAGO doesn't realize his argument for KD being more athletic than Giannis can be used to say Kristaps is more athletic than any of his favorite PFs from the 80s and 90s

based off your saying,
So cassel was more athletic than Francis, and BDiddy.

Moses was more athletic than Ralph




You equate dunking more as more athletic?

fukk are you talking about? Cassell was a midrange marksman.

 

[GilSho]

Durant more athletic than Giannis.

Giannis is averaging 30 without a jumpshot & elite handle.

this was a year and a half ago
he grabs the board...accelerates from the opposing rim to the 3 point line in 2.5 seconds
decelerates....
changes directions twice in the euro step...then explodes on a good shot blocker with little effort.
mind you...he's probably stronger now than he was then
im sorry theres no reality where kd is more athletic

Dude is basically a 7-foot Russell Westbrook and they are trying to argue KD's 33 inch vertical having ass is more athletic

It's simple Giannis is a higher leaper, stronger, faster, how the fukk is KD a better athlete he would get beat by Giannis in any athletic testing.

How the fukk this turn into KD vs Giannis ?

The coli never fails.

Strength and having nothing but quick twitch muscle fiber has nothing to do with athleticism y'all

Are you referencing fast twitch muscle fiber? Which type?

Do you understand how it's formed? How they are developed?

Hint: being buff/shredded isn't a great indicator.

He could average 10 blocks a game and would still be a bytch nikka

Isn't athleticism just the physical qualities that make you good at a sport.

As it stands KDs physical qualities make him better. In order to show this I gave you examples of where these differences come to fruition.

coordination is a part of athleticism. its one part. kd is more coordinated than giannis. every other aspect of athleticism puts giannis above kd.
kd has better body control....thats about it.
kd is simply more skilled.
giannis is getting numbers off brute force.
just attacking in the paint cause no one can physically check him.

 

[The Fire]

what's Giannis's weight currently? 220 doesn't look right

 

[Poitier]

Giannis is a better athlete but yall are overrating his strength. I've seen him struggle in situations against guys like Julius Randle and Stanley Johnson.

Also isn't a defensive anchor *just yet*. I'd definitely give KD the nod defensively.

Cause they don't run track.

KDs physical skillset translates more to basketball.

We are talking about athletic ability not skillset.

KD been hooping all his life, he mastered the triple threat game, is a pure shooter, and has better handles that has nothing to do with his athletic ability that is pure skill. He is obviously a more skilled player, he is not a more athletic player its not even arguable.

Also, all this talk about KD's coordination. He has great coordination at 7-foot but don't act like in OKC he wasn't prone to loose ball turnovers because at the end of the day he is a 7-footer dribbling the ball and it leads to a loose handle and awkward movements at times. Durant went from 115 looseball turnovers in Oklahoma City the final year to 39 last year on Golden State.
