His off-ball scoring ability is probably his most underrated attribute. When you have a superstar that doesn't need the ball, that makes it easier to build around. Why do you think we were so mad when he joined the Warriors?
Tbh we can’t keep using his height as a deflection.... plenty of tall dudes in the NBA. Yet none of them are close to KD’s skill. Literally Michael Porter jr is the ONLY player I can see doing what KD does on the court. If ya know ya know🤷🏾♂️🙌🏾🤦🏾♂️🔥

While ppl may say they both were less efficient, you gotta remember they played in the lowest scoring era of the NBA when they were much more efficient than their peers at the time.

Kd is a flat out legend, 10000000%. The man can create a shot from anywhere and he is an absolute beast on defense. The man was out for a year with would could have been a career ending injury for a guy his size and came back like he never left. The man is unstoppable. Kd has been my favorite player since the first time I watched him play with OKC and he is still my favorite player. I hope and pray I get to play with him one day🤞🏾🙏🏾
KD and Dream favorite player ever to watch. KD/LBJ/Bird best SF ever. You can’t go wrong with either one to build your squad. I take KD because he can play with and more dangerously without the ball in any squad.
Lmao relax there. Gifted in terms of size and the ability to use it, but I still think Jordan was more gifted because he had that vert and those hands to move the ball around in the air. Skill wise are we including defense? Seems like it doesn’t exist in the minds of modern day fans. KD ain’t a defender like MJ was.

I'm liking this regular uploads of Signature Shots. In the past few days we've seen videos about Zion Williamson, Dame Lillard and now KD. Hopefully there are more coming
Midrange jumpers were never inefficient. It's no ones fault that players stopped hitting them. The truly elite scorers, are 3 level scorers. Which includes the midrange shot.
Kevin Duran is the best player in the NBA, despite the negative sports media coverage. He is strong at all phases of the game-offense, transition to defense
His defense improved on warriors, he is good. But not as scary on offense as Steph. That’s why in all the finals, Steph was double teamed, Kd was single covered.
The thing about a midrange shot is it makes you unpredictable and almost unguardable because first off if you can make a 3 pointer that’s already hard to stop because it makes you have to guard high up then gives you more options to blow past the defender for a layup or dunk then when the defense adjusts to that strategy and has a big in the paint helping if you can stop on a dime and do a hesi and pull up from midrange efficiently it’s very very difficult to stop you 1 on 1
I know right he’s so honest and humble to admit how good and special my KD and he’s definitely telling the truth He’s Kevin Durant we all know who he is
I agree..durant could easily ave 35pts.. Imagine if he is partnered with chris paul a pass first point guard and not westbrook. .. Its just russel westbrick ball hog and bad shot selection cause them not to win the west chips.
When he was a warrior, teams chose to double Steph and single cover KD. When Kd was double teamed, Steph would hit em for 50 in 3 quarters. Kd wasn’t quite as deadly. Kd great scorer. Better after learning from Steph, but not quite as dangerous as the greatest shooter of all time. Just adding perspective here. Not trying to start a debate.
I mean to be fair KD is 7ft small forward who plays like a point and shooting guard he’s a monster and there’s really no way of guarding him you just have to hope he misses or doesn’t get the ball
I think he’s really 7ft. He’s taller than Nicholas Claxton who’s 6’11. Not to mention his practical 7’6 wingspan with skills that truly make him unguardable.
Lost for the rest of the NBA..but that’s KD pet shot,he ain’t giving up that for nothing,once he get in his zone is chaos n his defenders knows it to!!!

Me too,for me he is the best shooter,because shooting is not just on the 3points line but in all 3 level of shooting...and kd will beat curry easily in 2 level,in the 3 points line only curry has an edge,but 3 is not as better option in finals games,specially if ther is a gooddefense,..curry need to get his spot while that beast kd can do it anytime and anywher on the court..
Kevin Durant 6'11 with a 7'6 wingspan a handle and a J of a guard the best mid range Shooter in the game can pull up From Thirty this brotha can average 27 in His sleep a Career 49% From the field 38% From deep this brutha is special
Then how come LeBron James hand pick all his teams yet he has more losses than wins? He have picked and chose to go to the Miami Heat to play with D Wade and Chris Bosh. won two times and lost two finals .He traded his whole team. And when they play for the All-Star team and the Olympic team Kevin Durant be the player of the game. matter-of-fact look up the last All-Star game that he participated in and I bet you he won MVP.
I thought in 2019 - if there is a guy that has the tools to overcome Achillies rupture and be maybe not 100% athletic, but still be 100% productive, KD is the one. At the time of writing BKN is beating everybody without this "human cheat code". These 3 took it a bit personal, all have something to proove and - if healthy - we will probably witness some of the best basketball in recent history.

@@johnjohnson6338 In today's NBA Kobe would be Demar Derozan his career average from 3 is 32.9 % which is below average 3 point shooter. His midrange isn't as good or efficient as kawhi or KD and his layup package is not even close to lebron or Kyrie's. Kobe's career FG is 44% which is mediocre in today's NBA.
but they win without him, meaning hes not deserving as the most valuable player. hes the best in the league but plenty of players are more valuable to their own team to provide wins.
mean while a guy named lebum james is on that list. he dont even deserve to be in that list, it shows that he dont have a killer instinct thats why he need AD. hes being this past few games.
Now imagine Michael Jordan hit 54 to 55% of his mid-range shots. that is why people still think Michael Jordan is the greatest. what Kevin Durant is doing now is reminding you how great Michael Jordan was.
Words hold power..... When describing a kevin durant or a michael jordan the media likes to religate them as just being great scorer smfh they are great player's the reason they don't discribe them that way is cause deep down they're better player's than their chosen one.... Listen very carefully 🤣

Oh and he's more consistent. This guy is just unstoppable. To me he's the greatest shooter ever
Facts you can't be best shooter without a midrange
Me too,for me he is the best shooter,because shooting is not just on the 3points line but in all 3 level of shooting...and kd will beat curry easily in 2 level,in the 3 points line only curry has an edge,but 3 is not as better option in finals games,specially if ther is a gooddefense,..curry need to get his spot while that beast kd can do it anytime and anywher on the court..
Umm Steph is a better free throw shooter too buddy
Kevin Durant 6'11 with a 7'6 wingspan a handle and a J of a guard the best mid range Shooter in the game can pull up From Thirty this brotha can average 27 in His sleep a Career 49% From the field 38% From deep this brutha is special
Stacking the deck makes him unstoppable
Then how come LeBron James hand pick all his teams yet he has more losses than wins? He have picked and chose to go to the Miami Heat to play with D Wade and Chris Bosh. won two times and lost two finals .He traded his whole team. And when they play for the All-Star team and the Olympic team Kevin Durant be the player of the game. matter-of-fact look up the last All-Star game that he participated in and I bet you he won MVP.
Well in a league where LeBron is continually stacking the deck ever since 2010, it was only a matter of time before someone else did it.
I thought in 2019 - if there is a guy that has the tools to overcome Achillies rupture and be maybe not 100% athletic, but still be 100% productive, KD is the one.
At the time of writing BKN is beating everybody without this "human cheat code".
These 3 took it a bit personal, all have something to proove and - if healthy - we will probably witness some of the best basketball in recent history.
Durant you’re goated. My favorite player of all time !
When he was a warrior, teams chose to double Steph and single cover KD. When Kd was double teamed, Steph would hit em for 50 in 3 quarters. Kd wasn’t quite as deadly. Kd great scorer. Better after learning from Steph, but not quite as dangerous as the greatest shooter of all time. Just adding perspective here. Not trying to start a debate.
In fact, his mid range is so good that he can pull up jumper literally from the 3pt line using the last inch of his toe.
Jordan, Bird, Durant, and Bryant has the best mid range of all time
Dirk
Kobe midrange wasn't as efficient
Dirk is right behind those four
Kobe wasnt efficient, but he had a pretty good mid range game
@@johnjohnson6338 In today's NBA Kobe would be Demar Derozan his career average from 3 is 32.9 % which is below average 3 point shooter. His midrange isn't as good or efficient as kawhi or KD and his layup package is not even close to lebron or Kyrie's. Kobe's career FG is 44% which is mediocre in today's NBA.
His 62 jumper is also unstoppable....(Sigh, hope he reflects his every moment with his crushes and past history of his love)
Idk how he's not in talk about being MVP like Bro Come on now he's the best ON HIS Team
but they win without him, meaning hes not deserving as the most valuable player. hes the best in the league but plenty of players are more valuable to their own team to provide wins.
@@chuckplaysgames7925 and he’s not playing a lot of games either so he is saving more energy then usual
mean while a guy named lebum james is on that list. he dont even deserve to be in that list, it shows that he dont have a killer instinct thats why he need AD. hes being this past few games.
being exposed
Before the COVID tracing situation he was a front runner for MVP
“I’m Kevin Durant, you know who I am”🗿🔥🔥🔥😤
Kd is the best scorer of all time
Dame Lillard said it the best. When healthy, KD is the best in the game. Nobody can guard him!
Now imagine Michael Jordan hit 54 to 55% of his mid-range shots. that is why people still think Michael Jordan is the greatest. what Kevin Durant is doing now is reminding you how great Michael Jordan was.
This guy will become highest scorer in NBA history,
Words hold power..... When describing a kevin durant or a michael jordan the media likes to religate them as just being great scorer smfh they are great player's the reason they don't discribe them that way is cause deep down they're better player's than their chosen one.... Listen very carefully 🤣
Yup
We know espn is leSheep.
Le what?!!!
He's just...different 🤷🏾♂️💯💯💯💯💫
