so he will get praise, still ...but less cuz LeBron is transcedant on and off the court ...durant only matters on.
I have the Warriors 4 peating with their current team. Even with Durant getting 4 and Lebron having 3 people will still look at Lebron being the best player of his generation. Has to suck for Durant because I do believe he wants to be considered the best. He's not like Duncan in the sense he only cares about winning.
Harlem, Despite his somewhat cowardly but smart choice ...
If Lebron didnt exist ... wouldnt we be talking has Durant surpassed Bird? especially if he gets 3 rings in his career?
But we never will ...
why?
LeBron ing James.
that matters more than the Hamptons.
What has Durbeta ever won without stacked teams full of all-stars and MVPs? I'd love to see him try to carry this year's trash Cavs roster. Would be hilarious seeing him get exposed as the overrated frontrunner he's always been.
No way to know since he plays at a time when defense is not allowed. Wonder how he would fare against the bad boy Pistons. I think Bruce Bowen would have even gotten into his head back in the day. Now he just shoots wide open uncontested jump shots.
shrinks to a dry pos when his up against kawhi, then pads his stats when kawhi is on the bench...
I don't care what he does from here on out, dude is the biggest puss in recent sports memory.
no, there never was, once he started defending.. He's good, period.
His decision to leave OKC is the right one, no way he would have won anything with a 40% usage westchimp... Now maybe signing for GSW was the right choice, dude is a beta and he knows it, GS gives him what he needs: stacked team, elite guards, draymond doing the dirty job and low pressure. smart if you ask me
Skills-wise he's one of the best player's I've seen.
He has the ball skills of a 1
Shoots like a 2
Can cover the 3 with his size
Naturally a 4
Can protect like a 5
However, he will be remembered as someone who defected to a stacked team because he was a pussy and was a big part of bas izing this beautiful game
So he will not be remembered for the player he is on the court
Jordan will always be remembered as a winner and the best player of the last 40 years
Hey OP,
Cupcake shot .430 and .282 treys in the 2016 playoffs.
What exactly did he add to his scoring game after that?
Oh that's right, n-o-t-h-i-n-g.
He simply joined got State for wide open stat padding including ref sex.
2nd greatest scorer.
If given the choice, who would you rather play with: Westcrook or Chef? Honest question.
If you tried, you could make an argument for Bird. Further, if Magic was in this era, would he be considered as a PG (with enough size to start as C in a Finals game), or a do it all SF (and thus, compe ion for Durant)? You could make an argument for Magic as well.
He didn't play center in college.
Come on man, Durant would easily rally the Cavs to the playoffs. We’re talking about the same conference that has perennial chokers like Defraud Derozan and Kylie Lowry clinching the top seed
It’s just unfortunate a guy that skilled had to conspire with the best team with one of the most cowardly acts in NbA history.
When Durant was at UT, I told everyone he had the tools and the trajectory to be the number 1 most unstoppable player of all time. I felt comfortable being a Spurs fan until he started owning us left and right with OKC. Now he's showing people his true powers....but is also the official biggest juiciest head alopecia-infested mark ass chump made in all of NBA history
the bold ones are just... no.
Durbeta was a perennial choker until he joined a 73-win team
That's what I'm saying. KD is thriving now knowing he has ZERO pressure on him to lead. He's on a team with a bunch of other all-stars. If he s up any of those guys can pick up his slack.
There isn't one. As a pure perimeter scorer, he's 2nd best all time imo. There's almost nothing he can't do. He's so good that he makes Curry and Klay look significantly worse than they actually are by comparison.
I was talking to a Rockets fan last night who was trying to argue for Harden over Durant as a scorer
The most impressive thing about Durant, imo, is his efficiency. Dude can hit from anywhere, and he does so at a relatively high percentage.
How about when he wasn't on that team and eviscerated both of our teams in the playoffs while dealing with a chucking (albeit talented) diva as a teammate?
Jordan often single handedly won games. Sure he had a good cast around him but they weren't so good that the other team couldn't double team him with help.
But nothing like Durant. At this point, we'll never know if Durant could put a team on his back.
So many weapons around him that you just can't really double team for a full game.
