"Kevin Durant is more gifted than Jordan, possibly the most talented player ever" - Steve Kerr

[steph_harden]

Define gifted

What we talking about? Cause if we mean the literal definition which is natural and innate ability then MJ>KD. If we talking pure skills then Kyrie>KD

KD is special not just because of his skills but also because of his size...there's never been anybody at his size whose had his combination of skills. So im not so sure if i would call him the most talented ever...he's up there in all time talent but he's also a freak too. I'd say what MJ doing what he was doing at his size was a greater display of talent than what KD does

 

[inndaskKy]

Yea son! Don't let those people outscore you!

"Ey Nick Kerr, go get me some buckets boy...I mean...my boy"

 

[HabitualChiller]

These arguments are always based around scoring, because MJ was gifted offensively and defensively. MJ is considered top 5 on both sides of the ball.

He really shouldn't be defensively.

 

[duncanthetall]

I think this doesn’t seem like a ridiculous take and that a lot of people are scared to say this because they see MJ as their basketball Jesus and/or daddy. Kevin is a bytch but this shyt is obvious to me.

 

[Dilltastic VolWon(derful)]

Do you not understand what gifted means?

He's a 7 foot tall player that can do anything on the court. You can't teach that. We've never seen it before and might not ever see it again.

If KG played in this era, he definitely could do a lot of that stuff.

Not sure about the pure scoring aspect of it (deep 3) but that wasn’t ever part of his era or required

KG post game>>> KD post game

 

[Michael's Black Son]

Steve Kerr ain’t coaching shyt. And he wouldn’t have won shyt without Jordan.

All respect to KD but without a stacked squad (no matter the team) he’s not eating.

 

[Rigby.]

Idk why people still consider this contentious. He’s 7 foot, has fantastic foot work, has a great dribble package, has one of the best 3 pt shots and is fukking unblockable. Leave out the trite intangibles and just discuss what the player can do

 

[Rigby.]

I mean, he's not wrong.



Dude just came back from what could've been a career-ending injury and pretty much has been crowned best player in the league. Don't see how that doesn't show toughness.

Pushed 3 all stars and Brook Lopez, who’s been all defense caliber, to 7 games and shoulda won if he ain’t have size 24 feet nikkas gotta stop with the nonsense about this guy because he loves shytting on nikkas on the Internet

 

[EBK String]

MJ is literally insane and will do anything to win. Not to mention he is one of the most athletic players of all time and on top of that one of the most skilled players of all time. KD is great but he isn't that.

"Ey Nick Kerr, go get me some buckets boy...I mean...my boy"

slick!

 

[010101]

there are players who check more boxes in more categories than cupcakd

but he has a 1of1 combo of stature combined with skillset

there are things that happen once a player reaches kds height that usually prevents them from developing elite guard skills

but cupcakd is like if they took a 6footers nervous system & wiring but in a bigs frame

create a player shyte

[BigTyme Records]

If we only talking scoring ability KD is up there with any player

Rest of his game? Nope.

 

[IShotTheSheriff]

Yep. Only thing stopping KD is toughness and mentality. We’ll never see a 7 footer with his skill set ever again. Still ain’t the best ever tho. Don’t convolute the 2

I like the way you worded it besides that echo chamber “fact” people LOVE to throw around... “we’ll never see such and such again”

Never say never when you factor in evolving genetics, dedication and watching all the current and past top dogs.

I remember back in '07...My uncle hit me on the horn in a state of jubilation " Check out this Durant boy down in Texas.HE'S A 7 FOOT MICHAEL JORDAN!!!" ...I was so appalled by the comparison, I just ignored his azz, and never checked for Durant.It was ridiculous.Just couldn't be real...Well I'll be damned

MJ would have 12 rings with KD size.
