awesome
He has had the best supporting cast in the NBA the past 2 years..he has never had to fight through the hardships of a weak supporting cast, like Kobe/Lebron/Wade, etc..unlike Lebron and Kobe, he has never had to suffer through any pressure or criticism from the media..
All these advantages, yet he has failed to perform at a dominant level in any series..he has yet to make the NBA Finals..the most disappointing part for me is that Durant has made just negligible improvements to his game..he still doesn't make his teammates better, he doesn't play D on a standout level, he still doesn't wash his face..if Durant was a notable defensive player and passer, his stacked team would have made the Finals the past 2 years, tbh..
Thankfully for Methface, Westbrook will receive all of the blame..
awesome
He has one major flaw....
not a leader.
He likes to defer to his teammates, specially Westbrook.
Until he grab hold of his balls and lead they will lose.
Best supporting cast?
He has no one inside who can finish around the basket.
Far from the best supporting cast, that would be LeBron in Miami.
Durant has a top 10 player in the NBA, a top 5 SG, the best shot blocker in the NBA, arguably the best post defender in the NBA, along with a solid bench..
everybody criticizing Miami's team all year, but hyping them up in anti-Lebron arguments..
Durant doesn't affect his team in any way except scoring, tbh..they have been the heavy favorites to win the West the past 2 seasons, yet they haven't even made the Finals, mostly due to Durant..
He's still getting better. Give him some time.
How old is he, 22? I guarantee you that he rangs more than LeHype.

Harlem with his own agenda over evaluating Durant supporting cast to make Lebron more shinny.
Shtick starting to be more tiresome than giuseppe kobe 5 duncan 4
I love Westbrook, but he's not a top 10 player in the league, Harden, sure.Durant has a top 10 player in the NBA, a top 5 SG, the best shot blocker in the NBA, arguably the best post defender in the NBA, along with a solid bench..
Durant doesn't affect his team in any way except scoring, tbh..they have been the heavy favorites to win the West the past 2 seasons, yet they haven't even made the Finals, mostly due to Durant..
And who gives a flying crap about that, neither can do offensively. Perk is useless offensively, Ibaka has a solid mid-range jumper, can't post up, or do anything else.
Like how Durant guarded Kobe, who went 2-10 or 2-11 on him?
The guy is 23, give it time, if he still doesn't have one after he's 26-27, then sure you can use that argument.
Only 23.
Which part of my assessment was false?..Westbrook was undoubtedly a top 10 player, this year..Harden is easily a top 5 SG..Ibaka is the best shot blocker and Perkins is arguably the best post defender..
Durant is the most protected player of my lifetime, tbh..
The double standards and hypocrisy is ridiculous..
So you want him to make the Finals this season?
Westbrook ain't top 10.
OKC's defense was worse with Durant on the floor, this season, and has been during the playoffs..
KD didn't abandone ship. That's the difference for me. When the going gets rough, the tuff go to Souf Beach!
Kobe has the best supporting cast. Durant has his mini-me who pretty much takes the team out of the game. If the Thunder had Rondo, they would be twice as effective.
Nowitzki, Paul, Bryant, James, Wade, Durant and Howard are the only players that I couldn't make an argument against, in favor of Westbrook..
I'd have 1 or 2 more ahead, but I can make an argument against anybody else..
Fine name the top 10 then.
and yet lebron doesn't have a ring yet. get his outta your mouth already geez.
Lebron
Durant
Parker
CP3
Howard
Love
Aldridge
Wade
Bynum (if he gets his mental together)
Dirk
Maybe not the best 10 in the nba but all clearly better than WestBrick.
So Harlem's point is Lebron > Durant
I think most of the people agree with that during at least 3/4 of a game
I'm gonna agree with Harlem here... OKC has the 6th player of the year coming off the bench while Miami trots out Battier and Mike Miller... Nazr can defend bigs, where neither Haslem or Turiaf can...
Truth is every OKC fan walked in here to let us know how great defenders Sefolosha (the famed Kobe stopper) and Ibaka (top shot blocker in the league) are, but now that they've been exposed because they have no offense, they're scrubs?... doesn't work like that.
Ive said for a long time that Durant will never be as good as LeBron because of how one dimensional his game is. KD is a great scorer but its mostly on jumpshots and that really hurts his ability to makes teammates better and be an effective closer. I know hes hit some big shots this year but Ill take my chances with someone taking it hard to the rim over someone shooting fadeaway 3s like KD normally does in crunchtime.
Nono with the goods
