Why Kevin Durant is the Best Scorer EVER. //  

Facts

Yep

Like a snake

Wakanda Pride people who hate him,,it’s envy..he’s that great..

Hit or miss 😂

Amazing Sports Clips obviously 🙄

Passing?

@@boimalloy8616 In terms of scoring

I rather take 35 from Steph than 35 from Durant because Curry's gravity and shooting get you a higher win, gets teammates easy buckets like Durant and Klay and Curry is the focal point for the defense, not Durant. That's why 35 from Curry means he beats you in the third quarter and rest, not Durant. Durant Isolating suffocates the offense and for @ By Any Means Basketball, You don't talk about YOU CAN DOUBLE TEAM Durant and because he sucks at getting a pass for his height, then you can get a steal. Overhyped!!

@@javierlandaverde4108 so are you saying curry is better than kd? Because if you are you need to go to a doctor

not really

Not really I mean against Kawhi or even Beverly and Marcus Smart, Blake Griffin, Tim Duncan, Boris Dias, I could name players all day, Draymond, Steph, Klay, and Iggy make him look better than he actually is. He had Westbrook, Harden and a ton of talent still couldn’t beat the Heat, Chris Bosh and Prime LeBron shut him down. If you put any good player on a good team you have a high chance of winning, I mean look at the Raptors they have Lin as their 3rd string PG and Ibaka coming off the bench, it’s obvious that KD depended highly on others to be successful. Dirk Nowitizski did what KD did a million times better, but I say Tracy McGrady was the greatest shot creator of all time, their was a game that is legendary between the Mavericks and Rockets where Nowitzski and McGrady went for 50 a piece and it came down to the wire. Tracy McGrady never had a good team, his only other all star was Yao Ming, and like Steve Nash and Karl Malone he eventually went to the Magic and rotted out his career on a team that would never win. Regardless he made it to the Finals and may have not won a ring like Dirk, but give Tracy McGrady Jason Kidd, Marion, Jason Terry, and he’ll three peat.

I wouldn’t necessarily say he’s clutch.. taking games over on an all star team when this talented is not that difficult tbh..

Brent Ralph Bautista ur buggin

Not necessarily. As creative of a scorer Tracy was, he never worked on his game in manner in which he could slow himself down and get easy go to buckets. Look at Kawhi's game right now. He can just be slow and methodical and get whatever shot he wants on the floor. As creative as T-Mac was as a scorer, he was never a guy that could be methodical in terms of getting whatever he wanted on the floor while simultaneously getting other players better. He was a great scorer, but I think Durant is a better scorer. And Jordan is better than them both.

90% free throw..... that’s a reach XD that’s Curry not KD. KD around 87%-88%. Curry around 94%

Javier Landaverde 50 40 90 club?

Kobe is better. All time please Kobe scored 81 in a game come call me when KD does that.

@@superpro1thomas858 we don't know yet

@@superpro1thomas858 I hate taking away from that achievement but Kobe scored those points in a weaker defensive era on one of the worst defensive teams during that time

Xavier Jobe Tracy McGrady was better

@@ManoharRajanlalala T Mac wasn't as efficient.

Nathan Salinas Kevin Durant isn’t very efficient and how can you be efficient when you are triple teamed every time you touch the ball? Kevin Durant has always been on loaded teams where teams have to guard Westbrook, Harden, Curry, Klay no other great has had as much help as KD and only two rings what an amazing who relies solely on his height wonder how good he’ll be after that Achilles ouch

Yeaah people forget T Mac carried a team without Yao Ming. KD has never carried a team.

T Mac is only one of many, Steve Nash, Kobe, Gilbert Arenas, Karl Malone.. I could name names all day KD is great rim protector and scorer, but greatest???? Miss me with that. He is just getting hyped from the LeBron effect where a player is good but has to join a super team to be great. Kyrie is also an overrated player, but in the coming years we will see.

Arguably the best scorer since Kobe

@@lemueldorcely3676 KD is a better than Kobe in basicically every aspects of scoring: - Scoring average in Regular season: KD - Scoring average in the playoffs: KD - Efficiency: KD - Midrange: KD - 3 point: KD - Post moves: Kobe - Free throws: KD - Slashing: You can make a case for both He's even a more complete scorer than MJ (not saying he's better, even though it's arguable).

@@lemueldorcely3676 I hope you're really a Kobe fan

@King Ky sorry if i offend kobe fans, but i can even give out a really strong argument that prime melo is a better scorer than prime kobe, kobe is a complete player, but there are some visible limitations at his offensive game unlike kd and melo

@@ebenezerindi1766 MJ couldn't shoot 3's, KD can I personally think that aspect alone makes him better, They are identical in every other way with slight edges going to either one.

It is. T-mac made a living off of it

but tmac shooting wasnt as good as kd. tmac has better post moves and fancier finish. kd has way better shooting range plus %. better handles too

WHHHAAAATTTTT!!!!!!

Agreed

He looks good lmao

@@robin8503 my prayers came true 😌

@@Junior-zf7yy Yeah💪

So why the fuck are you calling him the best scorer ever? Go educate yourself.

Conor B Dude calm down lol

@@CB-ns6sy I mean yeah I can watch Jordan highlights but idk I would just rather have KD cause I actually watched him play if that makes sense. Relax bro I'm not throwing any slight to Jordan tho

Rian Eagan same. i remember watching the 2012 Conference finals when he was with the thunder and the spurs were playing them and i was so amazed on how easy kd was able to score and i still am amazed till this day. no matter how much i hate him, have so much respect for his game. easily top 5 scorer of all time

@@princeatc yeah forsure bro. It was his 2014 mvp season when I was just in awe every night cause he was just scoring at will.

What is Kobe's weakness? Please tell me. He'll adjust to it right away mid game.

@@raymanny7418 Kobe isn't efficient scorer, throughout his career he missed the most shots in nba history

Moe K Wasn’t efficient

What was kobes, wilts or Michaels weakness?

HGC 4E Kobe was not efficient. MJ was subpar three point shooter. Wilt bad at free throws.

KD and Giannis are two completely different monsters KD is nowhere near as physically imposing as Giannis while Giannis isn’t as skilled a scorer as KD Both are terrifying though

@@foolyunfiltered but if i had to choose one as my main scorer and star well kd always bc giannis has obvious weakness on offense that teams can ecploit but kd has no weakness to even use unless u foul like u would with mj

and giannis dropped 45 on kawhi while he just dropped like 20 something, no one can stop giannis, but i gotta admit kd is a way better scorer then giannis, its not even close.

KD ain't no ones dad.Giannis scores on him effortlessly.

@@BenDover-ed1hh kd can guard giannis better than giannis can guard kd. Sorry it's facts. All teams have to do is Clough the paint like raptors did, he has no jumper

Tacko fall

Watsup Boi with what speed? 🤔 barbecue chicken 🍗

Tacko fall is fast lol one thing you cant say about the guy is that he isn't agile and fast for his height he is very fucking fast

Brandon Ingram

Giannis

We all know he's good. Just weak minded

Everyone knows he's one of the greatest scorers, but to be the GOAT scorer you have to actually score more as well... Jordan just has more volume in the playoffs than him. Like PPG wise Jordan is alone lol

If u r a true bball fan , u will appreciate every player's greatness

The argument for why KD could be a better scorer than Jordan could be that KD shoots the 3 better

Eghose Isiramen Way better. Off the dribble, catch and shoot, contested, from any spot, can hit from the logo. But it was a different time. I 100% believe if MJ played now, he would 100% develop a more consistent 3 PT shot because of how insanely competitive he was. Also he played in the triangle and didn’t really need to shoot 3s to score a lot. I mean he was a 10x scoring champ. But yes, KD is a more complete offensive player in terms of what he can do, not necessarily numbers.

@@gabesoto9301 yeah I agree with every point u made

Eghose Isiramen KD is special, and I really hope he comes back and is most of his old self physically. I hated his decision to go to GS like most ppl but I’d be an absolute hater if I said he wasn’t fun to watch in the playoffs. At some point you just have to respect greatness. I doubt there will ever be another player like KD for real.

@@gabesoto9301 I agree with all these points, and I had no problems with his move to GS, I just liked good ball, well except for him beating lebron but still. Hopefully he comes back 100%or at least close to that

@La'Rue Mathis that plays like a guard? Yes you can't stop that.

If Kyrie don’t flip, Jordan is cancer and I’m willing to bet Allen won’t be happy about sitting in the bench because of Jordan. Caris Lavert is also a ball dominant guard... might not mesh well with Kyrie

@Dåńīël Grandeùr I fcking called it

You were right, dude just dropped 39 points with ease 🐐

@@adrijiyuda Called it

Ben Moxness that does not make you the best scorer ever 😂

rmtjr237 one of the reasons tho

Devin Otero 6 50 point games in 9 seasons says he’s not even close.

@@rmtjr237 KD can drop 50 whenever he wants but he's played on teams where he wasn't the only scoring option. He still managed to average close to 30 ppg bc of his elite shooting/efficiency. Regardless, he's the most unguardable player ever

rmtjr237 the most versatile scorer ever man

100% facts

Having another their all time scorer in his team (Curry) makes it easier to score more efficiently. His efficiency absolutely skyrocketed after he joined the Warriors in 2017. Check the difference in efficiency between 2016 and 2017 playoffs.

Tenzing He’s been a career 50% shooter his whole career

@@Climb_Mountains he was averaging 45ppg in playoffs before he got injured. He can score whenever he wants but sadly he's not a ballhog

Season ppg and playoffs ppg says jordan

KD post injury will still be a good shooter not excellent but good, mid range monster but he will struggle again going to the basket.

@@javierlandaverde4108 nobody knows that Kobe Bryant was still good at going to the basket Dominique Wilkins was incredible basically the same player for the next 4 years so you can't say that cuz we don't know

Wilkins was how long ago.... pre-historic age and Wilkins and Kobe were better athletes than KD who for most part of there careers avoided injuries. Both if there Achilles were “freak injuries”. Kd’s body broke down season after season because of his lack of taking care of his body and health. He had 2 major foot surgeries since OKC years and now the Achilles. Won’t be the same in terms of getting in the bucket for contact. KD last season missed time as well. Too bad playing with 2 shooters 2 excellent defenders and point forward did not made it easy for his health. Can’t say the same in a Brooklyn. His career is over.

@@javierlandaverde4108 nah he cool now

@@javierlandaverde4108 this bs statement didnt age well bud

He shot 4-17 last night in a playoff game. Wtf u talking about smh

CJ Moore Kareem has the most though doesn’t he?

Let's be real tho KD could have like 4 scoring titles at least, KD has been on a stacked team for the past 3 seasons so he hasn't scored as much as he could. He relies marginally on athleticism also compared to Kobe, MJ, etc so he can keep this up till he's 38 aswell and by that time he'll probably stack up the accolades too

mj scored against ice cream truck drivers and bin men.

MJ was known for his scoring rampage when he was young with an efficiency of a big man. 45.2 ppg on 30.4 attempts 35.7ppg on 21.5 attempts and his scoring records in playoffs is unmatched. Many people forget that MJ has an insane level of stamina and creativity that even in the most difficult situations he scored a lot of his points.

RO Payne Karl Malone has more points than Jordan all-time too. Doesn’t mean he’s a greater scorer. Kareem scored his points over the course of almost 20 years man. Jordan only played in the NBA for 14 seasons. Two of them being with Wizards. And he’s still 4th all-time (currently)

😂😂😂😂😂 oh shit. Yoooo give this man a medal. Funniest shit ever

@@juststoic3809 at purely scoring, KD definitely has the edge.

@@marco5030 what really makes you think that? After watching a RU-vid video and reading everyone else's comments? The stars are there, rings, practice. Kobe can so what KD can and maybe MORE.

For sure

@@Dariusdoesplay y'all are something else

U sound dumb iTs nOt eVeN clOsE Shaq MJ heck maybe prime Giannis.

Sniperflashgaming U said prime giannis who can’t hit a J and got shutdown by Kawhi, foh you’re dumb

@@moffo2626 you sound stupid

Since Mike* he’s already a better scorer than Kobe

Not really. Not a mismatch EVERYwhere. Even in the current NBA look at Giannis

Sniperflashgaming have u seen Giannis guard him? doesn’t fade him at all tony Allen does a way better job then I ever seen Giannis do

Jordan was a bigger mismatch not just on any defender, but on whole team defenses. Jordan averaged 33.4ppg for his playoff career. KD is the most versatile scorer ever though!!

@@user-js7mo3wy4z lmfao have you watched him this season?

Kd is not even on mj or kobes level let alone wilts

@@mrslick58 His diverse skill set is damn near unmatched I'm not even including his great height and pretty decent athleticism. Let me put KD into perspective Into KD makeup KG Size Jordan mid range Athleticism. Of Adrian Dantley More clutch than Hondo b Finish like Gervin Post = Bird Create shot like Glen Rice

My words. He definitely redeemed himself with his two Finals MVPs. Nobody‘s as good as him offensively.

@@fabolousninenine30 4 scoring titles at 25 and decides not to keep doing.if he wanted to he would have about 7-8 by now he's like 30

@@joshliggins2260 easily

He’s 31 years old😂 fym it’s too early

@UCciQPFlM4YxzkhNYHE0ZJLw hes not among the top 10 all time scorers yet you moron thats what i mean

I’ve been saying this for the past 2 1/2 years.!

Ive said it since 2012

Yessir

Ball handling yes, shooting? I'd put prime dirk over him

Ben Simmons (one inch taller) will probably end up with better handles when it's said and done but the combo of both, yes. Strictly shooting, prime dirk has a slight advantage.

daniel evans idk @ 1:53 I never seen Ben Simmons do a combo like that but yea he is early in his career

Ezra Timorason Dirk is a sniper but more of a catch shoot while Durant can catch and shoot and shoot off of dribble love

Ezra Timorason dribble moves ^*

High rip fadeaway off one leg ?

KD my fave player but he has two weaknesses...lower body strength( bump him going left and he more than he should falls to ground) and second, I wouldn't call a weakness totally, BUT wanting to overhandle the rock from far out. Would love to see him give it up earlier and get to his spots

It's cause he doesn't put up as many shots as Jordan, Kobe, or Harden. Based on his percentages, he could easily attain 60+ in a game multiple times.

Its so sad that you're probably right, will take a year to be back and then half a season for him to get back to feeling comfortable again. Will probably lose that explosiveness to really handle the rock, also will be 32 by then damn..

Unfortunately he got the injury while trying a cross... That thing will always be in the back of his mind when hes handling the rock, will be another season before we even see him too damn..

@@savonsanders8684 I think you need to watch more MJ highlights....

MJ grew up in the time of hand checking. KD wouldn’t last that generation because he doesn’t take care of his body, hence why he’s out for a year. MJ took care of his body and scored 50 points when he was 40. Clearly shows the lack of knowledge and age from you missing out on MJ

I'm happy and angry to find out I'm not the only one. I even go as far as being tall and skinny. Unlike the REAL NBA, in 2k you get open shots 0.1% of the time. With that kd build you knocking down all contested shots 70% of the time honestly the best way to build a pure shooter that iso & pulls off the dribble you can chalk your great handles and passing for, post scoring, the ability to still some how posterize (I guess do to length) and play a lil defense, blocks under the hole in on perimeter, you truly become a good 2 way but even better the greatest scorer in the NBA

Does it work even if youre not an elite shooter? In 2k you cant hit contested shots like nba players do in real life that pisses me off

@@joaovictorduartesimoes2463 jumpshot st are gonna go down if there open but that rarely happens a late contest or smaller defender might as well be a open shot.
