Thread: Kevin Durant becoming the best player in the NBA.
The following may contain hoops knowledge and language that you don’t hear everyday anymore, but hopefully you can see the purity in this. It is scary how perfect KD is at basketball. This is Kobe/MJ level brilliance.

Filthy handle, BUCKET, lights out from mid and 3-pt range, mid-post game, back to the basket game, incredible scoring touch, floaters, hesi pull up, aggressive/skilled finisher, moves without the ball, great defender, rim protector, passer.

So easy to play with/coach
Keeps all his teammates in sync and allows them to be comfortable on the court.
He can give you 40 out the post, as a catch n shoot, in transition, off iso’s, off screens (curls, pin downs, runs the baseline), off 3’s, free throws and layups/dunkshttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷🏽♂️" title="Man shrugging (medium skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Man shrugging (medium skin tone)">

So calm, clutch and poised.
He may miss shots, but he’s never rattled or uncomfortable. The game comes so easy to him. He has the same flow in the 4th as he does in the 1st. The skill and confidence is so high that every moment is just another basketball possession.

Knows when to take over.
If he wanted, he could avg 43 PPG. He can rise up over anyone at any time, but he allows the offense to run and gets everyone involved without really chasing the stats to show for it. He will make the extra pass.
He knows when it’s time to own it tho.

Highly competitive: This man came up in the DMV. Hooping. Everyday is survival there on those courts.
He goes AT the best players in the game every time. If prime Mike and Kobe came to hoop, he’d be the first to challenge them to 1’s. He lives for that bump. Dog.

They lie to you and say this Warriors team didn’t need him https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤦🏽♂️" title="Man facepalming (medium skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Man facepalming (medium skin tone)">
A 6’3 guard and a catch and shoot wing can’t come out the WEST to beat a healthy, locked in team of LeBron, Kyrie, Love and an athletic defensive unit.
They were depleted and taxed without himhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇🏽" title="Down pointing backhand index (medium skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Down pointing backhand index (medium skin tone)"> It’s tough.

What’s crazy is he did all this in the 2018 playoffs, then in the 2019 playoffs he was averaging 35 PPG.
You know? When the lanes get clogged, airspace between defender and man gets tight and buckets are hard to get? He shines brighter.
He was on his way to 3 straight FMVP’s.

What’s even crazier?!
Even as a young buck, when he was 23, he was basically the same polished assassin. He was on par with peak MVP LeBron that 2012 Finals just from an eye test standpoint. Just look at this arsenal. Unreal. Such a pure player and competitor.
