NBA Players Share Incredible Kevin Durant Stories | Blake Griffin, Steven Adams, PJ Tucker & More 

Yeah he gained an instant fan in me. Same attitude I try to imbue in my son.

Only issue is he hacks a lot as a result of the attitude

"That's cool. Do it again." "OK. Do it again." "DO IT AGAIN!" No joke, I wish I could roll with the punches like that. Of course the game of basketball is far simpler than the game of life but there is definitely something we can all learn from that mentality.

That mentality needs to come back in the nba

Well you just said everything I was planning on saying

Amen

Er

Amen to that

People say that but there's a guy out there that won 10 scoring titles with 7 of them in a row...

@@jalenad11 Everyone got their own opinion can we accept that? You really used your time just to contradict someone that’s giving love to another person… phucking RU-vid…

@@truthlady4606 I don't debate him being the best of his era. I don't even debate him being a no question top 5. When you say words like "in history", that's another discussion.

@@jalenad11 he’s more efficient than Jordan and he shoots the 3 better

@@jalenad11 Discussion? With who? Did you get my point sir? It’s his opinion and you have yours… we are all different and all have different opinions and that’s ok… you may have your top 5 of all time and I may have mine… it’s ok to be different sir… it shouldn’t always have to be a discussion or debate 😂 maybe I just look at life different

7ft point GOD

Nah, spot up shooters don't operate the way he does offensively

@@DeuceAlchemist I meant purely in terms of how efficient he is as a shooter. Having a 50-40-90 season for instance. Obviously he's not Kyle Korver.

KD is a shooting guard with a height of a center.

@@duanedoldrum7570 with 10 point guard

Me neither. Mostly cause he a ussy and a itch but watching that man play is watching poetry in motion. Unreal talent.

@@agenteagresivo weirdo.

@@agenteagresivo how you hate on KD but watching a video about him 🤣

@@kdyy3 Prolly a bron stan or for russ. they're toxic af

Dirk was basically unguardable during his prime though. 2005-2011 Dirk was unstoppable.

If isn’t a 7 footer dude… He’s listed at 6’9

@@Dwyanerose he's g'11 without shoes. durant is just listed at 6'9 so he could play sf, since he plays like a guard

@@jay-jaypumatong488 These positions are so silly now. They only matter for what, All Star voting?

@@Dwyanerose he's 6'11 without shoes

@@Dwyanerose durant is not 6’9. Maybe you haven’t seen pictures of him standing next to dudes like Demarcus cousins who is 6’11. Go look at the olympic team picture and tell me he’s 6’9 lol

Ingram isn’t 7ft

@@Lob32City Notice he said “same build”…not same height

@@tremain7056 I mean you can say that about 60% of the nba at this point. Most of the NBA even the bigs are really thin

@@Lob32City its not about being long and thin, by "build" i think he meant the way they play, basically relying on tough shots and pull up threes, which both BI and KD do.

KD is taller

I feel like everyone knows he a generational talent

I personally never cared about his move to GSW. People care way too much about which team a player chooses to play at. It's not that deep. People tend to exaggerate what KD did as something awful when in reality all he did was choose to play for a different basketball team. It's even crazier that this happened 6 YEARS AGO and people STILL hate on KD for it.

I cant blame kd choice curry over wb. But then knew they will win the chips as long they stay healthy

Appreciate his talent, yes. But talent is only aa part of what we admire, especially in athletes. And i think rightfully so. Even in real life, talent is only part of the equation

@@kiarat5406 it's even crazier that criticism is considered hate in 2022

watch the draymond green interview with kd, k knows how good he is lol he explains that exact thing with the media and knowing how good he is enjoy my boy its a good watch.

@@stephenwong8053 I’ll sure check it out

He knows who he is

“I’m Kevin fuckin Durant, y’all know who I am” I’m pretty sure he does lol

Even skill wise kyrie Irving is a tad more skilled bcz of his size

KD *sucking

@@goodprince5327 if you are the best player in the NBA you deserve to be talked about

@@bornasiroki3976 sorry buddy . KD was never the best player in the league. It was LeBron and now its Giannis

@@goodprince5327 Kevin Durant's foot saved Giannis

@@tsong3545 Oh really? It wasnt the fact that he shot 0-5 at the OT and airballed the last shot? 🤡

PJ won my heart in the finals. My god, that drive and tenacity was insane. I've never seen such persistent defense in my life.

Celtics up rn

@@iJustWannaRoxk i knew Celtics would be up because Tatum only shoots well after All-star break but still don't have that mentality. Tatum has been getting to the basket more so maybe things will change

Marcus smart does. But when smart tells Tatum and brown to do it, they just poop on the suggestion.

Damn near speared tf out them folks lol

Idk KD hasn't came up enough in big moments for me to give him the edge over MJ I think he is the 2nd best tho

@@JOK3RC4RDx Jordan is better at getting to the rim, that's it. KD Is a better shooter everywhere compared to Jordan. A better FT, 3pt and midrange.

MJ

@@JOK3RC4RDx cap. KD has stepped up to the plate plenty of times

@@djwagner8950 can you name those times

KD shot 53% while mostly playing on the perimeter and shooting a lot of 3. That’s elite. Most player shooting 56% aren’t playing on the perimeter. When Lebron shot 56%, he was mostly playing in the post with shooters all around him.

@@amitpalbains9361 correct. That is my point

So basically he’s playing by different rules🤔 I think that matters because it’s an unfair advantage if other players(past and present) didn’t/don’t have the same leeway with the refs.

No it doesn't matter, like Blake Griffin said he's never seen a person as unaffected by the defense ad KD, he doesn't even have to cross over or do any special move ( he's a 7'0 guard with a deadly jumper ) all he has to do is raise up .

For the record all players ( past and present ) carried the ball just as much or traveled or pushed off

@Kali they aren't playing by a different set of rules, everybody in the league ( past and present ) play by the same set of rules, J.J. mentions " carrying the ball " because he didn't handle the ball ( he caught and shot ), but anybody that does a right to left or left to right crossover carries the ball, what I'm saying is KD doesn't even have to even dribble and would still be the best offensive player, KD dribbling or carrying the ball doesn't matter he's a 7 footer that can put the ball through the hoop from ANYWHERE against ANYBODY .

@@justingrant4860 we're saying the same exact thing

Prime LeBron before 2014, prime Curry after 2014, with Curry from 2017-19, rehabbing in 2020, then prime Jokic. Almost the same fate as Kobe and Shaq in terms of MVP luck lol

@@3isthenew1 its because he played with Russ for most of his career. Its not ironic that when Russ got injured kd won an mvp.

@@3isthenew1 ur explanation is false. If kd hadn't played with Russ he'd have like 5 mvps right now

@@3isthenew1 ur kobe and shaq example is false as well. Im a kobe and lakers fan who actually saw it. Shaq was clearly the better player and Duncan was better than Kobe at the time. So kobe was not in the mvp conversation. I love kobe but I can't lie. Kobe did take his game to another level in 2005. Thats when he became the best in the game and even then he wasn't the mvp because my lakers sucked then.

@@kwabenadonkor1865 i still stand by my opinion that KD will end up unlucky like Kobe and Shaq. Shaq actually could've won the MVP 1-2 years before and after he won it in 2000 but got unlucky because other players reached their prime--their peak--by surprise to the league (and Michael Jordan). And Kobe was also unlucky because his best years coincided with the peak of Nash's 7 Seconds or Less Suns, Dirk's incredible 07 season where the Mavs won 67 games, and prime LeBron after winning his only MVP. Many more "unlucky" greats: Elgin Baylor, Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, Chris Paul, Dwyane Wade.
