@Fishstick - The media brings up LeBron 24/7 and some even say hes the GOAT so its only fair to be critical. There are new players rising in the league so hopefully we wont have to talk about him anymore.
@@billr5842 this chump isn’t close to Lebrons level. Lebron would have brought this team to the finals like he did every year. KD couldn’t even make it to the ecf. Too funny
But why tho lol we all know the truth. If nets were healthy or if the bucks also had injuries, nets would’ve won. Bucks and hawks the only two healthy teams in the playoffs
@@gdeezy their entire team was healthy, which includes their three best players. 2 of nets starters/best players were hurt, they should’ve lost. Same way the lakers should’ve lost. Same way the nuggets should’ve lost. The bucks and the hawks are literally the only two teams that have been healthy and look where they are lol
Major major respect to Kd for how he handling this tough loss. He left it all on the floor and still showing humility and sportsmanship. I root for players like him.

Bucks fan from Wisconsin here (not Illinois). I’ll be honest if harden would be 💯 percent healthy and if they would have Irvine in game 7, i think it would be hard for the bucks to win, they still struggled beating KD. On the other hand iam happy because the Bucks have built around Giannis and not a super team like the nets.
@Rick Steel you're delusional, Joe Harris missed three wide open 3 pointers when it counted...He choked, can't blame Harden..Even one of those threes from Joe Harris would've made a difference, KD would've had more momentum while carrying the whole team on his back...He could've easily kicked it out for the last shot, but nobody wanted to step up so game over
Give credit to the training staff matter of he had the surgery right after he tore it any ways when you making KD money you don’t wait sat out last season and barely played this season but was still in great shape to win game 5 and almost pulled game 7 off a healthy Kyrie ball game would have been different for sure
I'm so happy he's made a full recovery. I was getting worried about the minutes he was logging on that leg. Glad it held up with no discernible ill effects. KD's gonna be in the game a while longer and every basketball fan is a winner because of that.

This is the type of praise KD deserves, its what's right. Some people like hating on him but he's still one of the best in the league but then there's others who have the audacity to call him top 3 or top 10 all time.
This is one of the best games this playoffs, with Giannis and KD scoring 40+ points each, and also Middleton being clutch in overtime, a very close game and a well deserved W for the Bucks
One day, giannis walked into Pet Smart looking to purchase a snake. “Hello I’m looking for your softest snake”🐍💕 said giannis. “I need a snake who I can snuggle with, hug, and love without the risk of getting bit”.🥰🥰 The employee led him to the back corner of the store, and there...sitting in a small cage full of pillows and cupcake stickers was...DurSnake!!💓💓🐍 “DurSnake what happened!”😨 said giannis. “When I was little, I heard legends about how the DurSnake was the most dangerous in the world! Why are you in pet smart?!”🤔 “Hisssss” hissed the DurSnake in disappointment. “I lost my Ssssnake ssssuper team. I’m just a fraud snake without them”😓🐍 “Aww that’s ok DurSnake. Since you’re not a threat without your super team anymore, I’ll become your new owner. How much for this DurSnake??” Giannis said. “11 cents sir” the employee replied. “Wow. With his super team he would’ve costed millions💵💵 Oh well. I’ll take it!!” Ever since that day, Giannis has owned DurSnake👨🏾🍼🐍 and he proved it by winning the series and taking over in Ot while DurSnake went scoreless and air balled the game winner😂😂
Can't give enough respect to this man for the way he answered the workload question, it takes a real winner to ignore someone trying to bail them off and focus on the real reason they lost the series. It was a 7 game series and it was worthy of the Eastern Conference Finals
@@billysummers1616 see, here's where you fail to think like a winner, like KD. Injuries have happened to all teams, Bucks themselves have a very good starter out for the season, they are a great team, did a heck of a job on this series, still were completely awful in the first 2 games and took this series to 7 anyways. Listen to this guys who actually were great on this game tell you this is not just about outscoring opponents.
As a bucks fan I’d of preferred a healthy harden take shots away from KD. Not to mention the nets were way better defensively with harden out. KD is terrifying & plays a beautiful game. No flopping, foul manufacturing or crying to the refs
@@lloydaneroticlifecuratedby7306 actually if you've watched the nets you'd realize that kd is the #1 while harden is the one getting all the assist so actually I think harden would've actually created more shots for kd especially since the defense would have to adjust to 2 stars and it would be pretty difficult for holiday to guard harden the whole night (which is who I would think would guard him)
Wow. It’s funny how you see a guy grow up in front of you. He was present, gave thoughtful responses and respect to the Bucks. I feel like even just 4-5 yrs ago you wouldn’t have seen him fielding questions with such candor, and giving out much deserved credit to the better opponent. Much respect to KD for handling this like a man... Now watch him go to Milwaukee next yr....Haaaaa!!
Man almost played 53 minutes. 48 points. KD gave it his all tonight man. Easy Money Sniper. Single handedly carried this Nets team through this series. One of the greatest to ever grace a basketball court.
Nope he should of won that's what they said about bron when he dropped 51 against kd warriors team dont want to hear it LeBron had to play like that every night
@@anthonyhooper2270 true bro that’s fact but we know they don’t keep the same energy so we gon give KD his props he put on a show he showed a lot of heart and dog KD is an all time great player just didn’t get it done it happens to the best of them
@@S1ngleP1ayerr I agree i give him his props but if LeBron shot a air ball to win the game he's not clutch he could of passed the ball to bruce who was wide open but he listen to the narrative that he has to take the shot and a bad play is always respected over the right play
@@anthonyhooper2270 bro believe me I know bro I lived it for years but we gotta except that he’s held to a different standard than everybody else for most people so at this point we fighting a losing battle
All the comments: " I NOW HAVE RESPECT FOR KD" ME: you ppl are idiots for not having respect for him beforehand. He's a real dude and a great player. What are you guys talking about?
lopez can shoot 3s and definitely fts so... I don't get your point kid 😕 are you implying sending that good shooter at line seals the game 🤔 👀 if you then ok..
@@HoodPsychoP3dia I think he meant that the game was already over and the extra fts aren’t necessary. They already hugged it out before the freethrows were called. 😆
It's more likely that the Lopez trade kind of started this whole rebuild to get us to the point where we are now so for him to put the last little tocuhes on the series in Brooklyn just made it feel all that more bitter.
Give my boy Bruce Brown some god damn respect. Kid's full of energy on the court and going against big guys in the block the entire game. He definitely became one of my favourite prospect in NBA, with Lou Dort being my 2nd favourite
I'm proud of KD. His post game interview was super respectful and humble. That's crazy how much he gets talked about like a villain but I don't see it here
People have short memory, a coward will always be a coward. If the Nets were not limited by injuries, let's say the ideal scenario were everyone was healthy: the Nets would have swept the Bucks, then sweep the Sixer and maybe the Lakers could steal 1 game or 2 in the finals. Durant intended to took this shortcut, but he ended up forced to carry the team.
@@grannas211 Are you seriously asking this question? The guy revealed his true colors when he opted to go to the Warriors instead of building a team for himself. Because that was the easy way out, a literal shortcut. A competitor should never take shortcuts, sports = competition. If the sportsmen attempts to avoid competition in any way, that's a disservice for the sport itself and the fans. You people should be ashamed of giving the benefit of the doubt for a worthless competitor, they do not deserve respect
@FuzzysnAnAngel The guy was forced to play without his superstar friends, D'Antoni forced him to play the entire 48 because that's his thing... and we have to pretend this is something commendable? You people are acting in a shameful way, respect the game of basketball. There's a reason why players seeks shortcuts nowadays, if the media and the public think this is reasonable, why not? Their image did not get sullied as it use to when men played this sport
You know what he meant, defense wins championships, they don't have a single player that is known for defense, look at the last 6 or 7 teams that have won then look at their defensive numbers
Respect to KD. Impressed me with his responses in that press conference. Ok, Milwaukee. This is your shot. You probably wont get another one. Embiid is on one leg, and Tray Young is the same height as Giannis' knee.
Im low key scared of the hawks more then the sixers because the hawks are the underdogs with nothing to lose, kinda like the we believe warriors who knocked out the mavs... we will see
I’m basketball you can either live by the 3 or die by the 3 pointer. It’s all good if the team hits the three’s. A different story when you don’t make them. That when you got to the basics (the paint, post-up, mid-range jumpers).
Time to put respect on Giannis' name. Time we all realize that. He needs his energy to take every one from the Nets to weight room, at the rim. No need defending KD and wasting energy on that. We had tucker for that
@@basicLife7721 let’s not get it twisted. Giannis didn’t check KD at all this series. I respect Giannis but it was him and his team who got this done. KD had Brooklyn on his back.
It's crazy how it could have all been over had that end of regulation shot almost won the game. Then he couldn't quite get it in overtime. Definitely was on the edge of my seat
And if your old like me you can say you saw Larry Bird and Michael Jordan and Hakeem olajuwon and Kobe Bryant's entire career. S*** I remember when Chuck came out with that ad talking about "I'm not a role model".. I remember when they tried to make Grant Hill the face of the league, I remember Little Penny.. muggsy bogues, Stockton and Malone.. the admiral, the glove, the worm. Shawn Kemp and Dominique Wilkins.. I can say I was alive through all of that and witnessed much of it. Very lucky
@@sequoia1171 I'm very lucky to see Kareem's last 6 or 7 years, all of MJ's, Bird, Magic, the last several of Dr J's years, Barkley, and all that u mentioned. Ewing, the Glove, and of course the Dream as u mentioned. Hakeem maaaaay really be the goat if u really want the best ALL AROUND PLAYER IMO. GREAT YEARS TO BE A FAN!
OMG Shaq said nothing but facts. why do you people hate shaq. he telling you from past experience but yet you wanna listen to guy in Barkley who never won and was very difficult for teams to get along with and play. unlike Shaq, Everyone wanted to play with him. those are the facts.
YOU CAN CHANGE THE WORLD BE THE CHANGE YOU WISH TO SEE IN THE WORLD. THE ONLY WAY TO HEAL THE WORLD IS TO HEAL YOURSELF. BUDDHIST PHILOSOPHY/MEDITATION .. LOVING YOURSELF AND KNOWING YOUR TRUE WORTH IS THE ONLY WAY THROUGH!! TIME TO FREE YOURSELF FROM THE CHAINS
KD thanks for a very entertaining series. Get your team healthy for next year. The Bucks did there job. The Nets will be back next year. Anyone that doubts that is foolish.
Are u fucking serious right now? KD deserves NO respect! He just don’t wanna have to explain why they lost after building such a juggernaut! 🧁 Be goin to the Bucks this summer😂😂
@@ConnorMiller417 nothing but facts. Imagine if LeBron, missed a last second shot in OT... Skip would have a parade against him although he put up another fantastic game.
@@sammyswank1158 They passed the ball to Kevin even though the game was about to end so who do you think made the mistake, Kevin was on three point line and they pass the ball to kevin instead of making a 2 points bucket they trusted kevin too much, i can feel the pressure of KD
Durant was a gentleman in the post-interview. Be mad at the other 2 superstars... How are they soo injured during this series but they only played 1/3 of the season. Durant is why this series went 7 games. I like how he gave much props to Blake as well
Kd almost missed half of the season. haden and kyrie took it over to make in the playoffs. Kd can’t carry a team with out superstart or without kyrie. People can score 40pts per game. Like booker. But lose is a lose. He airball the clutch shot to win the game.
@@jetskick146 he hit the clutch shot to tie it which shoulda been counted as a 3 and he had 48 bro I’m a lebron fan but KD did all he could his team was injured he was in a lebron situation which I still believe lebron better but KD was ballin that whole series
If you drop 48 points(the most EVER in a game 7), hit the shot that even takes the game to OT in the first place, you’re allowed to miss a smothered shot. This was a legendary performance and a legendary series from Kevin Durant. Also have to remember he is doing this coming off an Achilles tear.
I'm a Bucks fan, KD is one tough SOB!!! I think he knew he was out of gas so he tried to end both regulation and OT with a 3, what an amazing player!! Milwaukee just made a couple more plays, that's how razor thin the difference between winning and losing is. Go Bucks
I was not a KD or New York Nets fan. But after watching his interview and seeing how professional and humble he is after losing. I have nothing but respect for him and will now be a fan, and wish him well next season.
People forget that KD is coming off the most horrific injury as an athlete, not just a bball player an athlete. I have never had as much respect as I have for him after seeing this interview. He’s the real MVP!!!
Exactly trying to downplay that fact bc they lost...being such a huge kd fan for many years it killed me when he went down bc they would have won another ring no doubt..but for him to play like he did this year was all I need to see..kd bout to come back with a vengeance next year
@@decanfrawst shaq is very petty about stuff he’s not a hater just not a good basketball analyst. You don’t have to defend him when nobody even called him a hater to begin with the original comment just called out shaqs bs.
shaq speakin facts ... the lakers were ranked like the 17th best defensive team in the reg szn and amped it up to 1st in the playoffs ..... go look bacc
@@darkchocolate3120 they shoot almost the same average look it up curry just shoots from further plus curry has cracked under pressure also its jus basketball man
Hahahahahah! Shaquille is a rare man. Rarely do you see such a dominant big man be so damn IQ smart in the real world as well as the sport world! He’s a phenomenal person. And I adore Sir Charles. What a group they have for these games! Unreal
