Kevin Durant can score at will from anywhere on the court, but his midrange jumper is what vaulted him from being an elite scorer to an all-time-great offensive threat. In this episode of Signature Shots, ESPN analyst Kirk Goldsberry explains why Durant's midrange game makes him impossible to defend. #NBA #Sports

@leviuzumaki3903 3 года назад

The thing about a midrange shot is it makes you unpredictable and almost unguardable because first off if you can make a 3 pointer that’s already hard to stop because it makes you have to guard high up then gives you more options to blow past the defender for a layup or dunk then when the defense adjusts to that strategy and has a big in the paint helping if you can stop on a dime and do a hesi and pull up from midrange efficiently it’s very very difficult to stop you 1 on 1

MJ's first step is that deadly. MJ didn't need a quick release, he relied on his footwork to get to his spot, and that's more Unstoppable. Most Unstoppable 1. MJ 2. Dirk, KD, Kobe, Bird Most Unguardable 1. KD, Dirk 2. MJ, Kobe

THIS BROTHER IS SPECIAL, HE CAN PULL UP FROM THUUURTY

When he was a warrior, teams chose to double Steph and single cover KD. When Kd was double teamed, Steph would hit em for 50 in 3 quarters. Kd wasn’t quite as deadly. Kd great scorer. Better after learning from Steph, but not quite as dangerous as the greatest shooter of all time. Just adding perspective here. Not trying to start a debate.

I thought in 2019 - if there is a guy that has the tools to overcome Achillies rupture and be maybe not 100% athletic, but still be 100% productive, KD is the one. At the time of writing BKN is beating everybody without this "human cheat code". These 3 took it a bit personal, all have something to proove and - if healthy - we will probably witness some of the best basketball in recent history.

I remember Patrick Beverly’s reaction when the reporter asked him and Lou, what could’ve been done different to lock KD!🤣

can someone explain to me why Kevin Durant is not regarded as the greatest unstoppable force offensively that we have seen in NBA history??

@wiqadrealtappanar4871 3 года назад

Because the media doesn’t like him as much as they like whoever they always give that title to...but once you follow basketball and is not BIAS you know the truth...Eye test don’t lie,and believe you me,they say numbers don’t LIE,but it does in basketball..numbers don’t tell the whole story!!

@mohammadalfattal2902 Год назад

mid-range shots shouldn't be dying imo since they are easier to score and more efficient than 2 pointers, a great player utilizes both

@aisosaobano7038 3 года назад

Yes the midrange something for some odd reason people say it’s not needed. Analytics isn’t a must it’s just a option. So many times a simple mid range can be the difference between wining games and choosing a long range prayer. That’s just my opinion though.
