KD left Westbrook a PG who doesn't know how to win and thinks he's a #1 and that's why his ass requested to get traded to Houston. KD joined a GSW team lead by Curry who knows starts want and can actually play with. People like you ruin basketball. "KD joined the warriors he's a bitch" gtfoh with your emotional miserable self

      @Nintariz They do, just because they are a fan of certain player. People who enjoy basketball enjoy any player and his abilities. I'm a Jordan guy, but KD is unguardable no matter in what team he is on. This video is prove, he played with Melo and Kobe which are the type of players that hugged the ball (not saying is bad) and still score a lot of points with great FG%, which is something we saw of him in both championships game 3 and 4 with Curry and Thompson. The consistency of KD is pretty much similar to the one of Jordan, and no one else comes close. I still give the edge to Jordan just because of his maturity to play the game.

    Thx for giving that Guy the Honour he deserves. In my opinion he is the Most Skilled Player ever! I mean c‘mon. A 7 Footer who can score from every Spot on the Field, hardly guarded and clutch af, with handles like a Guard...
    This dude is different!

      You’re all dreaming if you think he’s ever going to play at that level again. Remember, he won’t have Curry, Thompson, Green, nor Kerr in Brooklyn. Only Irving, also coming off an injury.

    KD was 6’10” outta college… that cat been out the bag. That’s why he lied about it. Nevertheless, he is a generational talent!
    Edit: LeBron was 6-8, 6-9, and you can clearly see Durant is taller than LB

      Thank you dude! This new, almost archetype, has got scouts going crazy. They think it’s easy to dominate in the nba if you’ve just got a shot and you’re tall. You can see that with all the hype Chet holmgren is getting (he’s good, just needs a LOT of work before he’s even nba ready, let alone dominating).

      I remember watching KD in college at Texas and thought, "this dude is a tall ass shooter that can dribble and drive." Every time people today that want to compare other players in high school and college who can't even shoot to KD, it always has me laughing.

    I have absolutely no idea how such an obvious talent like Durant was cut from the 2008 USA Mens Olympic BB team. Michael Redd or Tayshaun Prince over KD? Seriously???? Why cut somebody who can score from literally anywhere on the floor? In 2021, Team USA would have been clobbered had KD not stepped up and put the team on his back. Everybody apart from Portland TB management knew this man was the next big thing since Lebron.
