The GOAT according to Kevin Durant

[Swagnificent]

In honor of the guy currently busting LeBron's ass in the NBA Finals, here is what he had to say on the topic of whose the GOAT just a few years ago. Enjoy.

Kevin Durant: Kobe Bryant is 'the greatest of all time,' Kobe and Michael Jordan '1 and 1A'

Mark Medina of the Los Angeles Daily News spoke with Durant about the way he works on his game, and how he's modeled that approach on his experiences with Bryant over the years:

“Of course. He’s the greatest of all time. His skill is second to none. Him and [Michael Jordan] are neck and neck as far as skill. You can put in athleticism and be the best passer and strongest and quickest. But it’s about skill. I think that’s how his game is played. That’s why Kobe is the top two best ever in just having skill, footwork, shooting the three, shooting the pull up, posting up, dunking on guys and ball handling. It’s flat out skill. Him and Jordan are 1 and 1A. They’re neck and neck as far as the skills are concerned.”

“Kobe plays his game no matter what with his intensity and focus and he will play to win. He also will do what he needs to do to get ready to play. If he sees a mismatch, he’ll take it down low and demand the ball. He’s one of those guys who will always bring the same intensity every time no matter who’s on the court.”

Why? KD is letting us know where he got the inspiration to dominate the NBA finals from.

Why keep making all these Finals/LeBron threads when there's a huge ass stickied thread at the top of the page specifically for those topics

Durant must not know about advanced stats

True. Nick Wright should tell him that advanced stats are more important than his experience of playing tonight against Lebron and busting his ass on both sides of the court.

I hate you stats nikkas. " But he had 40- 10 - 12 on 50% shooting" Yeah nikka put out no offensive effort until garbage time then played for 20 min of garbage time against the 3rd string.

LeBron is the king of empty stats.

I honestly woulda never guessed he had 28/15/8 last night.

Just goes to show how irrelevant his numbers typically are.
