[Diondon]

This bytch ass role player ass cac new schtick is to say ______. > Jordan

 

[fifth column]

I think KD and Bron was blessed with more physical gifts but not more basketball talent than MJ. MJ is the perfect basketball player

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

You mean air ball with the game on the line?

People do make mistakes after averaging 45+ minutes and 43 points over a 3 game stretch. That does happen

There's been dozens of guys built like Kevin come out in the past half decade that don't have 1/10th of his skill. Just being 6'10+ isn't an inherent path to being a HoFer, and it certainly doesn't lend itself to being as talented on the perimeter as him

There's more all time great ~6'6 cats than 6'10 perimeter players!

Durant revealed that he wanted to originally play for the University of North Carolina before ultimately deciding to play for the Texas Longhorns. Former Tar Heel and 2009 national champion Ty Lawson was his best friend and roommate during high school, as they both played with each other for three years at Oak Hill Academy. Durant stated that he wanted to team up with Lawson, but the roster at the time was loaded thanks to players like Tyler Hansbrough and Danny Green. With potential playing time being a big concern, his parents ultimately told him no, and former Texas head coach Rick Barnes managed to lock him down.

Perhaps the most interesting comment that Durant made during the interview, is his double-down statement that if he went to Carolina he would’ve been “just another name in 20 jerseys” in the rafters. His choice to attend Texas made him a legend for their program, with the school even deciding to name their basketball center after him. The way things worked out for him with Texas as well as with his NBA career falls in line with a discussion that is constantly being had about high school recruiting: do some players prefer to be “the guy” at a non-Blue Blood school?

His career turned out fine, but he wouldn't have struggled for playing time at UNC.

So random

Bruh these "skills" conversations are so narrow and generic. Can't even say it's an honest offensive conversation because really all dudes talking about is scoring the ball or handling the ball; for damn sure dudes not talking about defense when they talk about "skills", as if just anyone can be a good defensive player with no skills...

No aspect of Durant's game is at an All-Time elite level besides scoring the basketball. But at scoring the ball, he is very clearly and obviously on the short, short list of great scorers...

I'm not with calling a guy "the most gifted/skilled ever" when there's only one phase of his game that's upper crest, no matter how "unicorn-y" the guy is...

Please don’t act like Kevin Durant isn’t an absolute problem on the defensive end.
7 footer with 7’5 wingspan. Can protect paint and rim.

We’ve watched KD play his entire career and hardly anybody has given him routine buckets.
Nobody’s gone on stretches and given him vicious buckets. Ever.

KD is not one dimensional in the least. He hasn’t been for several years. And let’s not act like any former NBA wing players wouldn’t be getting 30+ dropped on their heads routinely in this modern NBA2K era of scoring that we live in

I said physical gifts not just physical. Gifts is the god given part that makes KD unique

yet he’s never gonna come close to making a all defensive team in his career

in his best defensive season (2016) he was above average/good his offense took a nose dive in the post season. The dude had a 20 PER in the 2016 playoffs. That’s nowhere near all time great.

also plenty of dudes have lit up KD. I have no idea what you talking about
