Talent wise...of course...that is generally what professional basketball players do...

But as far as expanding their game...uh...

Tell me...what shot has 26 year old Kevin Durant added to his arsenal that 23 year old Kevin Durant did not have...?

They were putting point guards on 23 year old Kevin Durant and it was giving him trouble...they put point guards on 26 year old Kevin Durant and...it gave him trouble...
:wtf:

Durant could shoot from everywhere on the floor at age 23..... he just got more efficient. He expanded his game in other areas - defending and playmaking. Only Bron was a better forward playmaker than him last season.

And stop with this nonsense of point guards giving Durant trouble - a few possessions of Paul holding his own against him doesn't equal 'point guards were giving him trouble". He expanded his game into winning the MVP last season, or did you conveniently forget that?

He had months last season where he was averaging 33/7/7 and 35/6/6 on high percentages while leading the Thunder to double digit win streaks yet you in peddling this bullshyt that he never expanded his game?

He also forgot to include Durant hitting the game clinching shot over CP3 in game 3.

Mama they might hire that man who says "hand down man down."

He would be a decent coach for OKC but I would rather them hire Alvin Gentry their offense would be unstoppable especially if they re-up Kanter. Whats killed OKC is Scott Brooks emphasis on Iso ball all game long. Durant is a willing passer and Russy just got a taste of that triple double life and he wants more. An Alvin Gentry run OKC team would drop 120 on the league. Than hire a good defensive assistant.

Orlando would be a very good fit for Brooks despite not being a coach you'd want to win a championship.

He seems to develop young players well
