NBA Legends Explain Why Kevin Durant is Better Than Everybody
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 3. 05. 2024
- Kevin Durant is unstoppable and immovable. He can dominate everywhere and his passing game has been elite lately. Let's not forget that KD is currently the best NBA player after returning from an Achilles injury which only one player in history has come back from. Even that injury couldn't slow him down! đ„đ„đ„

The sad part about it a lot of people donât give him his credit all because of his decision to go to Golden State.
Facts most of the okc fans still so mad
2 sides to this. The man shouldn't have his rings or his finals performances discredited ever but cmon, he pulled easily one of the most spineless moves in sports history and created the most stacked roster ever to the point where every year sucked because ileveryone already knew who would be in the finals
@@vaultboi1378 i disagree that team wasnât really stacked they just had solid role players Klay and Klay was the only superstars before KD joined. Draymond wasnât no superstar he was hyped up too much. Lebronâs heat teams was more stacked when you think about it.
@@cordairotucker6005 casual
Bunch of casuals here damn
Kobe breaking down KD was poetry. You can tell he studied every aspect of his game. Rest in greatness #24
I tell people, if you can't find footage of Kobe's breakdown of a players game, that player wasn't worth talking about. Before I even clicked on this video I already seen footages of Kobe saying KD was the player who was the toughest to guard for him đđŸđȘđŸ

KD is one of the best to ever pick up a basketball. Rank him wherever you want, but you gotta admit that. đŻ
Man I miss seeing Durant in a sonics uniform! Bring back Seattle!!
I hate Jordan, but you canât compare get real
@@phillipscott7198 one of the best no one compares him to Jordan no way but he is top 8 greats !!!
If KD stuck with the Wâs to finish out his career, the numbers that heâd be consistently racking up with ease on limited minutes(chilling on the bench, up 20+ in the 4th), in addition to 7 or 8 rings, more finals MVPs than MJ⊠it would be absolutely legendary and put him up in the top 3 players in NBA history(passing LBJ). Heâd retire the all time NBA scoring leader. And doing it on GS wouldâve made it easy to stay healthy bc he wouldnât have to carry an entire team at all look like a casual walk in the park with the skills and finesse he always bringsâŠ. But its all just a pipedream at this point. He broke and gave the haters what they wanted.
That's not even a debate đ kd definitely top 5 idgaf about a ring
I hate when people act like he's just a scorer the man does it all period
Join the team who he choke to 2 win rings lol
When he chooses to play defense he will
@Zero nope.
nope
No he's trying to do it all but he's not a all around player..but u can't ask for more , he improved a lot with his playmaking
The fact that he is still playing the game at an elite level without getting phased about how others might view him outside of basketball, Kevin Durant is a basketball god!!!
Yâall know who I am,am kelvin Durant thatâs đ„đ
RIP The Mamba. The only player he couldn't figure out. That says something.
Kobe couldn't figure out kawhi either
He didn't know how to guard Tracy McGrady as well.
@@mono0288yâall know more than KOBE?He said KD is the hardest player heâs ever guarded and wasnât able to figure out before retiring..
PJ Tucker gave me chills.... "He's gonna get 50 but I'm working him on every shot....hes a dawg.....KD is the greatest scorer of all time in my opinion
Pj tucker shouldâve fouled out every game .
Statisticts say MJ, 10 scoring titles, 6 rings, highest average per game ever plus 9 time all defensive team! Youâre too young to know this!
@@markbantz9699 it's between these 2. MJ has the stats and accolades but KD never cared about those. He could literally be the scoring champ every year. In fact I think he was the youngest to reach 3 or 4 scoring titles and then he just stopped when he actually got even better.
@@markbantz9699 less comp back then but u know that
You forgot to close the quote đź
Best scorer ever. When itâs all said and done people will not be able to understand how this dude only got one MVP
Lebron existed idk if u noticed he's the next best tho
@@a-games7431 no the narratives existedâŠâŠ.
Naw one of the best player's ever. He gets rebounds he plays defense. People pay attention to just his offense tho. đ€·đŸââïž
He got 1 mvp because in his best years that he really has chance is that Lebron is always better. And them comes 2014 when he got it. Later then he still great still on MVP conversation but not top 2, bc he played lower games, he played also in GSW which you cant really gave him cause they are a super super super team.
Same way we can understand how they robbed bron of 6 more mvps
The most overlooked thing about KD, he's a great defensive player! People constantly downplay that part of his game.Personally, I've seen him as the best player in the game since 2013.
Kd send ya shit in the crowd đand get you some rebounds
Great defense against the Celtics when he just stood still and allowed his man to run past him and win the game
they have 2 downgrade everything he does 2 upgrade LBJ they have been doing it his whole carrer
Great to see some kd love Iâm tired of defending him against every basketball fan
finally some one else telling the truth about KD and not letting the people N media that suck LBJ's dick all the time control the narrative
No matter everyone said about him KD still my best player I've ever seen, his play style is really something its so smooth, fluid, flawless a thing of beauty
That game 7, for me, it make kd the best of his generation, because that game is like 1vs5,the fact that he came from a devastating injury, no players have done that in league history,..
I'm looking forward to a GOAT EMERGING AND RISING FROM MY FAMILY
Hell yeah and he damn near beat them by himself
...ok sure lol
Hahaah
@@OGC558 you be everywhere hating on kd whatâs wrong with you
Kobes explanation is so deep, omg, I have never seen someone talk about the seconds somebody takes to dribble or make a move
the way Kobe studies players is next level.
đŻđŻđŻđŻđŻđŻđŻ
thats just crazy right !!
Is it though? If it was wouldn't he have been more efficient, utilized his teammates, and not shot his team out of multiple titles? Or at the very minimum won a single playoff series as the underdog?
@@keithjoseph128 he 5 -2 in the finals also he played through a tremendous amount of injuries with less space and a slower paced nba game. Yal new fans talk with no context.
@@ThenotoriousAmerican1 5-2 in the finals, he was the title favorite in all seven of those, PLUS two more where they couldn't even make the finals. He never won a SINGLE playoff series as an underdog either. And he was the main reason for the slow pace, isolation era, which is why you debate show puppets think it was a good defensive era. So yes, you casual fans talk without context. Do we need to talk about his pathetic efficiency in the clutch now or are done being that Steven A clown?
Kevin Durant is my Michael Jordan. In terms of just being that great at baskeyball !
Facts
I agree . Not the goat with accolades but heâs like the best basketball player in the world as far as skill and performance.
Never won anything but fake rings with his daddy Curry and a 73 win team THAT BEAT HIM THE YEAR BEFORE.
You guys are depressing. DID Y'ALL FORGET??
@@MrBarborosa how does that take away from his skill?
He's just taller and can shoot... how u gonna block that and he shoots over his head...
Giannis got me weak đđ â u can not play that way. U know u go back n forth w a guy like that heâs gonna score 50 70 â NO CAPPPP
KD fan since Seattle days đȘđŸ
5:32 gave me chills coming from the mamba himself
Love him or hate him he's the best player in the world and he's my favorite player#KDTREY5#THESLIMREAPER
Fuck no,
He's never been the best player in the world.
@@MrBarborosa he always been the best! The problem is that don't want him to be the face of the nba
People have different ideas about the superstar, but most judgment is so unfair. The point is, whether you like KD or not, try to respect his decisions and appreciate his hard work as he deserves to be the MVP!! His kind of person has nothing to do with anyoneâs life. He deserves respect just like any of us here. Iâm a KD fan so I always see his moves!! I †KD and the Nets!
Watching this now and he is in the running for MVP đ
I met KD in person and I could not believe that a human being could be built on such tall and lanky scaffolding. I am 6'6, about 4 inches shorter than him but it felt like his shoulder line was level with my forehead, and when I shook his hand he briefly turned around to one of his boys and held his other hand outstretched to him (i think he wanted a bottle of water or something). I was struck by how far away his outstretched hand was, and how quickly it got there, and how the rest of his arm folded but still occupied so much volume of space. It was there that I realized just how problematic it would be to guard him, his crossovers are literally 2X as wide as mine, my standing reach just barely grazes his elbow when he reaches up, and I'm flipping 6'6. It feels like being next to a crane, and I will never forget that moment of awe.
I met Lebron too but the vibe I got from him was more of a gigantic cyclops among men, like if you face his side and press on him like if defending the post, your arm cannot reach across to the opposite shoulder because of how broad he is. When I saw him I thought there is no way this guy can outjump me because of his bulk but then you see the videos of him catching alley-oops with his chin at rim level or taking off from the freethrow line and think if someone told me he did that, I wouldn't believe it.
He so underrated to me and thatâs crazyyyy! People take away from his greatness but the dude is second to none! He right there with the best of em u canât name the best without bringing him up PERIOD!
Indeed, one of the best to ever do it. Give credits to where it's due..KD7 MVP all day errday..
Thereâs so many things you factor in on KD because heâs a first ballot hall of famer and Top 12 All time! Another ring if he wins with the nets would get him top 10. People will try to discredit him for his move to GS but the crazy thing is without even thinking about it we all wouldâve did the same thing. So if Iâm in a position where im a free agent after playing 9 years for the same team with no results, the team that plays the right way, is able to elevate my game to a higher level, and gives me a better shot at winning the title is coming to me while im in the Hamptons asking me to join them AND still get pretty good money đ° while being in a nice city like San Francisco CA where I can invest in businesses and you think ima pass that up?!? No way I would. Plus KD won back to back finals mvp and was the main BUS DRIVER during those 2 years. Best move heâs ever made.
There are hundred of languages in the world and this man chooses to speak nothing but facts!
Top 5 w a ring in bk
@@kashkylan crack
Agreed agreed and agreed
Realest shit
As a Net fan I'm just happy that I have the privilege to watch him and Kryrie I don't care what anybody says about them two or how much hate they show... They wear my hometown name on their Jersey (BROOKLYN) two of the best scores to ever play the game.. And we also have three of the greatest rappers in the game Jay Z, Biggie and on the female side MC Lyte!! Brooklyn is no joke..
Too bad we canât say the same for the front office but I agree
They got swept. So if weâre going praise this bias then stop knocking Lebron for losing in the finals with teams he had and just look at his improvements and play time. Boor I swear yâall some bias ass ppl to who yâall like. KD hasnât won shit. Just like Jordan take that high powered team away from them and they are great losers. At least Lebron makes the finals with a good team or not.
KD is what we call greatness.
Kd is the best offensive player in our generation and if not, so in the history of the NBAâs.
No doubt at all
Like what draymond mentioned yesterday, Kd is a create player on 2k.
Tall, can shoot, can pass, can dribble, can defend
Itâs so much more than thatđđ
My idol kd my favorite my #1â€ïžđâ€ïž
Kevin Durant to me is Randy Moss. Two freak athletes when surrounded by the right pieces. They make it look effortless.
Embiid telling KD not to flop is the most ironically hilarious thing ever
Embid always flopping
Joel Embid stay flopping though lmao đđđđ
I was very impressed with him from early in his career at OKC...
I always wonder what kind of environment is he most suited to..
Think people always knock him for not being a leader.
Maybe he is not, maybe he is just the type of player that just needs to be on a team where all he can focus on in just playing..
Will be interesting to see how his stats read at the end of his career..
Now heâs in PHX where the leaders are CP3 and book and he can take a comfortable back seat and just score
Iguodala said it best, the man makes Alleluia buckets, gets you out of your seat, on your feet.
KD is a phenomenal player from Seattle to where ever he goes his game has not declined one bit, on the contrary he just keeps getting better.
The man plays ball the right way. He really is just like a kid out there on the court. He really just wants to ball out. Greatest scorer I've ever seen, he looks like he's running drills out there. He's one of the rare players that comes back after every off season with a deeper bag. He's added to his game every chance he's had. Unbelievable talent, impeccable work ethic. He's the finest example of when ungodly talent never fails to work hard.
You can pin it in the future if I'm right: Kevin Durant will retire as one of the best 3 basketball players ever.
nah
@@rigleymiller8937 it's a hot take, who knows
He already is. The media just hates him
@Daffa Dananjaya Dewa big fact
@@MrVersitile34 you guys are completely delusional. He's never won shit without a 73 win team THAT ELIMINATED HIM THE YEAR BEFORE. Jesus christ, who taught you guys basketball?
Greatest Versatile Scorer Of All Time
scorer. period. people won't appreciate it because lebron's the complete package, harden is a long range assassin, people like curry exist, and all-time greats like mj kobe, etc. but kd is truly the greatest scorer of all time. if you don't believe it, the guy is fucking averaging 37 this season. unreal. almost wilt chamberlain numbers
@@zakariyaz8233 facts bro
My only anxiety is the day KD stops playing basketball.
maybe ill stop watching nba đđ
I feel like injuries will bring him down, hopefully not.
Greatest scorer of all time đ
I'm from Seattle and it makes me sad. What could have been for the Sonics with KD
Embiid talking about flopping is actual comedy
Came looking for this
Embiid flops on the offensive end not on the defensive end dummy
KD is the kinda player I place bets on and donât even check because I know for sure he wonât disappoint. Funny how I just noticed he is good at assists this season. Injuries really slowed his legacy a little bit
I coulda swore I watched and commented on this video yesterday evening....anyway. Great editing as usual. Thanks for the hard work.
KD smile is like of the nicest thing to behold đ kinda bringing out my inner child playing mindset
You finally Came Through On My Request đ
There are basketball players who play basketball. And there are enlightened and gifted ones who play basketball and create art... KD is one of them... Rare, with a beauty of play that is poetry in motion...
Kd is the greatest player to eva play basketballđ
I support you, brother. The quality of the video you made is really high, and it is very popular
Iâm a lifelong KD glazer. But watching Luka say how easy KD makes it look then going out and making it look just as easy is dope af
KD is kind of like Kobe when it comes to shooting... Wherever he is on the court he knows where the rim is... So even with a hand n his face defense doesn't affect his decisions
Here before video has 1m+ views! Awesome video. KD is a đ đ
If weâre talking about a pure basketball player he is the best ever, he would dominate anybody 1 on 1
Ima say this, give that man 1 percent of the durability lebron has and he probably dominants in any Era.
Dude is elite!!! Folks nat puttin'him in d G. O. A. T convo is super insaneđ
He is amazing. it was evident from watching his first season at Texas.
KD so good, that I had no problem spending 800k on his myteam card knowing full well Iâd lose a shit ton once the market settled. Lost 300k already and couldnât be more happy w my decisions
there are 5 automatic things in the league: the kareem skyhook,the 2015-19 curry open 3,the steph curry freethrow,the kd midrange,the dirk one legged fadeaway,ofc none of them are really 100 % but if you watch the game u got the feeling every time the situation comes it goes in,no matter what
In his era heâs the best period!!!!
Y i love nba because they are all very respectfull to each other...y nba is great.
As weak of a move that going to golden state was, the fact that he was able to fit into their system so effortlessly doesn't get talked about enough imo. Not any superstar would be able to do that
Imo, KD was the best player on GS on their run. Even with Steph there, he took a backseat.
Love KD and Kyrie.. This 2 players they have the skills that make them different from anybody playin' on the court... đȘđȘ Making 3's - both
Ball handling - Kyrie
Post up game - KD
KD's the greats scorer N NBA history and a verry underrated defensive player and rebounder
Jrue Holiday comment about it being cone drills when you watch him play is probably the most accurate compliment and explanation of watching KD play the game. Practice how you play, if not harder than you play. #MAMBA
Kevin Durant is just a sheer hooper not arguably the best but, THE BEST!!!!!!
NBA players will tell you đ KD is that
Just imagine.. playing the best defense.. humanly possible. literally nose to nose shadowing.. his every move.. then bang.. fade.. bang.. turnaround⊠bang hesi 3 off the dribble⊠and itâs like that all game⊠(KdFolks).
We have to give credit to the 2022 Boston Celtics. Ime Udoka was the assistant coach of the Brooklyn Nets before he took the job and he knew Steve Nash was a wasteman of a coach. They knew how to shut him down.
My GOAT!
A real baller!
â€
GREATNESS.
NBA Players:
Piotrekz: "You are a LEGEND"
Whatâs crazier is heâs been hurt more than most superstars
This guy makes scoring the ball looks effortless canât not give him his credit
When you are 7 foot tall and have every skill set that can match anyone on the floor, that spell ( UNSTOPPABLE )
why did KD join the GSW then? He could have joined 27 teams, so Not OKC , NOT CAvs and Not GSW, that's 27 teams to choose from, why join the team that beat you the very season before? why join the team that if you stay in the western conference you have to beat in order to reach the finals? unless you are not unstoppable and you are very scared to face GSW so instead of beat them you join them?
PJ Tucker said . "it was like a video game" , if you've ever played a 2k game where some guy scores so easily you would understand đđ KD is that great man
Bro kd is my f idol since that fiba world championship in 2010
He was the MVP
GOAT
Today KD will play his 1st Suns game - Let's GO SUNS!!! đ„

Klay is a sincere, smart, honest and humble dude. He's also extremely charismatic

He is NOT humble! Heâs immature. His feelings control him like a teenager
Great!! He the Goat fashoo
Hello Dario, I know its hard to look above the tellerrand! But when it comes to Legacy you have to name MJ. When it comes to scoring KD is the Man !
yabadabado old navy, you just a fanboy what is lebron doing in this conversation. LeCap aka LeCrybaby aka LeMisstheplayofsagain.
Welcome to Phoenix đ Durant đȘ
i dont get people hating on him for going to golden state... he is elite and wanted to play with the best there is. if you love the game you have to understand the memories that will create for him. He is a human like you at the end of the day. We all push our favorite players to perform better and now when more than 2 elite player are on the same team we hate on them. Let them cook and enjoy those plays cause players like kyrie and KD are 1of1...
Intro is lit
âHow does it feel to master the game of basketball?â- JJ Reddick from his podcast
I just want someone to look at me the way Luka smiles when he talks about KD.
A pure shooter
Wha a legend

All props to KD but Kobe said "i started countin the second til he made his move..." F*kkin legend!!

The Ballad of Kevin Durant
Teeny weeny knots all upside my head, from the early morning, through the day, until I go to bed, people passing by in wonder stare, this how I roll and I don't care, shake him left and shoot right, I scored the most points of the night, post game the ladies know I keep it real, run their hands up in my scalp, they want that brillo feel, let a playa do his thing, tell me different when you get a ring, don't need no brush, don't need no comb, baby I'ma win this Championship and come on home, Bentley headrest scratched off in my car, I got the nappiest napps that you seen thus far.
It's all love man, I rock them napps too.
MVP Kevin Durant is a GENIUS,HUMBLE,LOVING,KIND,BRAVE, STRONG YOU CAN TELL JUST HOW HE CONDUCTS HIS SELF,HE IS THE BEST â€â€â€â€â€â€â€!! Ms. G
Kobe analysis was on point on Kd
And going to golden state was the best move for him he didnât have to to so much he could just play his game on ever other team he has been on he play his heart out and the teammates who he trusted goes down on him or even plays bad when he needs them kd always does his part nobody canât win without a team Jordan couldnât lebron couldnât or Kobe couldnât
â€KD†THAT RIGHT UNSTOPABLE!
Iâll take down my bias. When Kobe says what he says, when Steph, when Luka, etc say what they say about this man. Heâs doing something rightâŠheâs the Og Unicorn.
