This is why the coil is trash about sports. Winning a title with GSW is the easiest title of all time any top player could have achieved. Bron would have gone undefeated with them most likely.

KD joined the beat team that beat him and you talking accomplishment ?
This is a laughably bad take

No titles are easy to win, as we saw when Golden State didn’t win in 2019. Takes like, “it was easy for them to win an nba title,” is why we can’t have real NBA discourse. Too many of you all are in your feelings.

I have never seen a player get so much love after choking a loss and air all in gg the last shot while scoring 0 in an OT of a game 7

Had that been Lebron ? :russ:
Look at this post. Durant played 53 minutes, scored 48 points (an nba game 7 record), and your takeaway is he choked and shot an air ball. We can’t have a reasonable discussion when he put in one of the all game 7 performances.

Bringing up LeBron shows you are in your feelings more than being rational.

I’m not even a Bron fan so you can stop there. I watch sports for pleasure and no stabbing here.

I don’t care what KD did and how many minutes he played. Harden played on a bad hamstring and locked down Giannis. He still lost. Didn’t he ?

The fact is KD scored 0 in OT. 0. On top of that he airballed the last shot. Are those facts or me lying ? Just like PG and Kawhi and Giannis shyt Ted the bed before and they played heavy minutes.

On top of it all KD been out for more than a full year. I’m not taking any excuses or made up stories about skills when he’s airballing. That’s all that matters. CP3 is the most skilled player now but y’all still clown him for choking.


Stop with the gaslighting breh

Again this makes zero sense. If Lebron or Kawhi joins the Suns next year, wouldn’t that be an easy title given they all healthy ? GSW broke the regular season winning records. They then added a top 3 scorer with a height no SF can guard how is that not easy ?

I don’t care if you are or not. You brought him up in a thread that had nothing to do with LeBron.

Do you watch basketball or skim through it? Giannis scored 40 points on 15-24 shooting. You don’t know what you are talking about, lol.
The fact is KD scored 0 in OT. 0. On top of that he airballed the last shot. Are those facts or me lying ? Just like PG and Kawhi and Giannis shyt Ted the bed before and they played heavy minutes.
You are proving my point. You aren’t being rational and clearly don’t know shyt about basketball except for Skip Bayless takes. If you are ignoring Durant’s numbers because he was exhausted in overtime and didnt have the legs to carry them through, then you are trolling.

Durant wasn’t on vacation the last year. He tore his Achilles which is usually career-altering, but he overcame that. But in your narrative only NBA brain, you are worried about five minutes instead of the entire body of work.

There you go bringing up LeBron again, lol.

You aren’t a serious NBA fan. You arguably aren’t a serious basketball fan, as it seems you follow the game through social media.

Don’t play with me bro. I play at LA Fitness still and been following the game since 1994. I bring up Lebron Kawhi CP3 but you chose Lebron.

Y’all just hate on Lebron cuz y’all don’t even ball in real life or just suck at it. Yes KD is a good player but for skill sets ? That’s outrageous.

anyway yeah KD is skilled and let’s all act like he’s going to the finals. GG

You can be a bench player for th Nets. You could be part of Inside the NBA. Your posts in this thread would still exhibit a lack of NBA appreciation and understanding of basketball.

"He just showed he's the most talented basketball player on earth, if not of all time," Kerr said. "Honestly. He's just so gifted. I loved coaching him, and I'm looking forward to doing so again."

The most gifted player of all time? That's a bold statement when considering, well... Michael Jordan.

Kerr won two championships with Jordan as a teammate on the Chicago Bulls and won two more coaching Durant, so he just might have the best perspective of anyone when it comes to this debate.

"I think he's more gifted, I really do," Kerr said. "That's saying something, but Kevin is a different...entirely different breed. He's 6-11 with guard skills, unlimited 3-point range, passing, shot-blocking -- his shot-blocking at the rim, it's just stunning. Watching him this year was really, really gratifying to see.

Yahoo is now a part of Verizon Media

He might be the most gifted. 7 foot tall handles / moves like a guard and a jimmy? If your tall he'll go right past you. If you're short he'll shoot over you. Doesn't force nothing, and is smooth. Offensively, he might have the best game ever if you add in his height

When it comes to the art of scoring he’s not wrong. He does every at an elite level (mid, post up, 3 pointers, free throws, attacking the rim) ad the fact that he’s 7 foot with great handles he’s an anomaly even by NBA standards that we might never see again so it’s not a stretch imo :hubie:

Also, dude has made strides with his playmaking and team defence. Not saying he’s elite at either but he’s improved greatly at both to the point it’s no longer on knock on him.

I said physical gifts not just physical. Gifts is the god given part that makes KD unique
I mean it ain't a physical gifts thing, like being able to dribble a basketball at an elite level or shoot isn't a gift. Dude is like 50 pounds under the avg weight for his height. The only physical gift he got was being tall, which doesn't have any innate correlation to his skillset, other than being unblockable (which would be ignoring the fact that he fades on most of his shots, which makes them doubly difficult to block)
