- At age 35 it's pretty safe to say that Kevin Durant is out of his Physical Prime. But that hasn't stopped him from still being one the most efficient and high volume scorers across the NBA.

I think KD got his two rings and is happy with his basketball career. Now he is just a street hooper. He doesn’t care what people think about GSW.
Literally bro he just hooping until he feel like he can’t hoop no more that man really loves the game of basketball frfr
@@SeddyPoohso he mans burner accounts on twitter and constaintly complains about the situation he is leaves his teams and takes zero accountability but “he’s just a hooper frfr” you sound braindead there’s entire forums clowning people who say the shit you say
Na, he does. If he didn't care he would've stayed in Brooklyn. But he forced his way out to join the Suns and try form another superteam with Booker, then push the organisation to trade for Beal. But it hasn't worked out how he wanted it to so he's like whatever, he'll just keep doing his thing
Facts
Cap if he didnt care why the hell is all the way out in Phoenix a city he has no connection or love for 😂 Dude would be on the Wizards or the Knicks of that were the case.
KD really out here L2 dribbling in real life somehow
Weight room
and i think he is playing the best defense of his career
Not possible, he’s out of his athletic prime.
@@calebford6318athleticism ≠ good defense, you can be a great defender without still being athletic look at old MJ and old GP and even old Kobe
@@is.that.Mazzi.hia defence has not improved he just simply has to do more because suns got no depth 😅
@@jow8480You don’t watch the suns bro.
Literally might be the single worse defender on the Suns... what are you smoking? He religiously ball watches the entire defensive possession and allows backdoor cuts/offensive rebounds every single time. Not to mention the lack of proper positioning, help side defense, and then turning the ball over more than anyone, I truly don't think he is helping the Suns at this point. Cam and Bridges would have been better system players who actually contribute towards wins.
They don’t call KD the Slim Reaper for nothing. Like him or hate him, a KD at 50% is still better than 99% of the NBA at their 100.
Hard for me to say KD not in his prime. That would be me accepting my fav players are almost done with their careers
I'd say he's still in his prime, just not at the peak anymore.
Fans our delusion players know how dangerous Kd is peep how they triple team him every damn game
Great video bro !
Thanks for the video!
Great analysis bro!
Kd is the greatest scorer I have ever seen. He gets way too much hate
He broke the league by joining gs
Joined a team that beat em
@@realmusictv9205still the best scorer
But can't carry a team
I've witnessed greater but I was born before TH-cam so it makes sense
Great video!
Thank you
I think KD's performance in Game 5 of the 2019 Finals before the achilles incident was a prime example of what his best role later on in the caareer might be - the most lethal stretch big in the history with the ability to handle the ball when needed, and also playing more D
great video fr fr
fantastic analysis
This vid needs to have some OKC clips that show this explosiveness. I’m not sure there’s that big of a difference. Sure, there’s some, but he has whole teams guarding him now.
I just enjoy his capabilities, his scoring, what he can offer as an athlete to us as a spectators. Just enjoy, a true lover of this beautiful sport does not care about opinions and stuff.. just enjoy and that's it. no sense in comparing to someone else, or what if, or if he has fake rings. But if it's so, then you have to grow up
KD the goat
Fuck no
The goat in what?
The greatest ever
In what?
Scoring and efficiency 😭
@@JayStiles-kt2pmBest scorer of all time, best 1v1 player of all time, most efficient scorer of all time, best mid range scorer/shooter of all time.
@@gioelecarparelli6193and he still needed to join one of the very best team in history to win a couple of titles..
@@gioelecarparelli6193 all debatable but when he said the greatest ever was vague
He had the best catch-and-shoot opportunities on the Warriors lol... Oh, that 2017 year!
That's a prime time adjustment for kD' playing off the ball for a more efficient scorer without exerting reserved energy...'stop and pop' 😮
Explosiveness ain’t never been a factor in kd game fr
I think there is no player who can win him one on one. Thats my opinion, but even Kobe said only player wich he never get at defence is kd. And put in percpective that Kobe played vs MJ, Iverson, Mcgrady, Vince, Wade, Lebron etc... KD is my goat as individual... Great vid bud. Greetings from Croatia
💯
Only player who could beat him 1v1 would be like T-Mac or MJ and it would depend on who gets the ball first really, but yeah that’s a valid take
I love KD but Tatum today can annihilate him in a one on one game.
Many players would beat him one on one and he'd just choke with the game on the line anyway
@@DaddyPepz to small. Watch kd on defence he improved in peremiter crazy
Underrated Goat
Playoff KD is different. Just wait and see.
he consistently chokes hard
Haters.
Guy averages over 29 a game in 166 career playoff games on great shooting splits and you haters say he chokes.
@@Mr.Dobalina113 he chokes when he's needed most fuck his averages. You kd fans are fucking blind or delusional
KD and his shoes will still choke in the playoffs.
@@MrBarborosacope harder
I wish he never left for GS,he would be so much more appreciated. Myself included. He's top 4 scorers ever(alongside MJ,Kareem,Wilt). They were efficient and always there. If he had a real pass first PG his whole career and solid team around him,he could have done even more. People forget,he had 4 scoring titles with Russ. I love Russ,but imagine him and CP or him and Jason Kidd. Or Haliburton now. It would be an efficient 27,28,30 every night.
5:00 is a travel
Thought I was tweaking
People have to realize his injury messed up his movements in his foot. His speed slowed down, and moving in certain angles. So he managed to find a way to score
do a video like this for Kyrie as well
best scorer ever idc what nobody say
KD is as almost a jump shooter now, tbh with you
And being 4th in league only being a 35 year old jump shooter that's crazy
Kd suns = Knicks melo
All the plays where it’s claimed that he can’t get around players anymore was him being guarded by Jrue. Jrue is different
He killed Jrue
Yea but it’s still true kd isn’t that explosive anymore , that quick first step is gone but he has mastered the game.
KD is a top 5 player for me all time. one of my 3 favoritr
A pure shooter
Pure all around shooter and scorer. Pure shooter can be Steve Kerr
I feel your wrong , since the Boston series every team has played more physical when defending kd , they take away the lane while closing in on him causing him to to make contact to take away momentum from his first step... he now has no choice but to play more physical , and paced specially with all the injuries he had.
This is 100% true.
2:43 "and this opens up a routine turn around jumper" 😂😂. I wouldn't say anything opened up, and that was far from routine in the sense it was meant.
You are a wonderful analyst of the game
One of jaylen browns suns
What I like about Durant is not flopping
He's 35 after Achilles injury thanks for stating the obvious
lol exactly
he only showed da bad parts, he ain show that kd can def still get by them lock down defenders with ease it all just depends on if that’s the shot he wants or if he just wants to settle
@@jayomeirehe literally showed a video of KD working Jrue this season. Just say that you didn’t watch the video lol
U prob didn’t even watch the whole vid💀
Fr tho😂😂@@CXL3B
Bros reading in slowmotion
Can you clarify? Start of the video you said he doesn’t have that explosion and under 18% of his shots are at the rim, but then follow it up with saying he’s able to consistently break down the defense and put pressure on the rim.
I saw this last year in the playoffs. Everyone was sycin up kd but he really didn’t play that well in the playoffs, d booker was straight cooking though, on both offense and defense
KD still cold blooded when he wants to be 😂
always pains me to see KD become better and better after what he did to OKC
What did he do ? Give them 8 great years?
@@TerrencePerry-kd4ws4 scoring titles, finals appearance and a MVP. The miles u people go to hate is absurd
Keep crying lil bro kd>
@@russell9411 what are you talking about I’m saying kd didn’t do anything wrong to OKC
@@bmoghost1291give me prime James harden
He has been suckin it up lately to be honest
Nba MAGNETICS can save any players career especially inside a leauge that plays no defense
Im thinking it's magnets too.. they pick and choose their stars like wrestling..the only old players that do great are the ones that wear 23, bron..33 Kareem..two 3s is 6...like mj 23..pippen 33..two 3peats..6 titles, 6 finals mvps, go check out magnet shots...go TH-cam a video called - are you a good person by living waters
LeBron talked about this in his podcast. Kd on the weakside of the action made Golden State unstopable, and you highlighted it well at 3:09
I mean he’s old
🔥
Just noticing how much kd travels with no call
durant got one of the most beautiful forms ive ever seen, hes genuienly a walking bucked
Kd just doesn't have that killer mentality as kobe, MJ, Steph have!! Too much one on one basketball.
He no longer has Steph and Klay to create mismatches for him. Should never have left the Warriors to go to BKN!
he needs to change his game stop trying to take people off the dribble if he wants to last, kinda like dirk
I really wish you'd show comparisons instead of just saying he's worse while showing all the times he's been stuffed.
We coo
Casual double dribble at 7:41
Didn’t have possession yet I think.
Dude is 35 really is he supposed to be a spring chicken
i feel like kd should've just went back to the bay and swallow his pride to play with dg, kd's play style fits into the warriors system
& win another one b4 he go smh goin out sad
@@Userrr4566 exactly, with these autistic side of dg coming out i think theres a possibility of a kd and dray trade
@7:40 ....double dribble?
He's never really played D, so he's likely to keep going till he's 40
wen next chapter ?
This year
7:18 that ain't a foul 💀
kd is dirk with handles
And 0 heart
He doesn’t have the explosiveness anymore, dribbles less and relies more on just shooting over people. Even then he’s still great.
Tell me what I don’t know
He should’ve worked on his body in preparation for his later years
KD a role player, his role is to drop 35 ppg a game.
Durant not the same guy after golden state…. Miss okc KD!
Scoring above his career average this year, what else do you want?
It’z obvious he’s getting old slowing down every day. That’z life baby, can’t have it forever 🚬😶🌫️🍺🥃🃏
i think KD might be more admired if he didnt join the warriors and ended his career with 0 rings, rather than 2 with GS
Folks literally explained how he is the same 😂 went from how he can’t drive by people anymore too “ he still has the quickness to drive by bigs” 😂
bigs are slower than guards, your point?
I said it before KD has never been the same since the Celtics shut him down in the first round a couple of years ago
What’s changed about his game since then?
Yes kd played bad but Dude that team was terrible , there was no playmaking or reliable role scorers. And coach Jack Vaughn who’s that ? Just kd and Kyrie iso.
@@curtiszyr that’s fair bro I never really thought about that
@@AudaciousGaming__ I just feel his whole all around game has just slowed down. I love KD so none of this is hating I was just saying I felt like somethings been off
@@AudaciousGaming__ could be age tho too bro I forget that he is 35
who is that guarding kd on the cavs he was letting kd shoot like he can’t shoot no defense at all
Bro do you slow your videos down or just talk slow cus i had to watch this at 1.25 speed. Stop trying to make your vids longer than they are.
Where are the Kevin Durant fans I asked you this question is Kevin Durant the same after the ACL?
Hard to separate that from age.
@@JasonGood365 not really just compare from the year before
I know Oden was a Bust. At least he didnt leave a Tuna Smell on our Franchise
I mean, these are all smaller defenders....
Most of KD's point is from catch and shoot.
We done with cuh
Never write cuh again
Cuh washed tf
5:00 the refs 🧑🦯🧑🦯🧑🦯🧑🦯
Durant could play until his 40 by being an off the ball shooter like Ray Allen did at the end of his career.
The Greatest Of All Time, KEVIN DURANT !
Fuck no
Lost 3-1 lead against steph biggest choke artist don't put that bum at number 1 of all-time 🤣😭🤣
35 year old KD is the prime dirk
He is still in his prime more mature player.
KD should’ve been the greatest of all time. That skill set at that size.. Mans just don’t have the 🐕 in him
There's always going to be that one idiot😂
I see some Really bad defending, KD defenders dropping to help totally unecessary situation. He is getting totally free c n s threes
Hes balling out but the suns are disappointing
Washed at suns??
Bro he’s exactly the same what is you saying
He is in his physical prime
coming off an ankle and achilles injury no he isn’t
He’s really not. His prime was either his last year in OKC or when he won a chip with the warriors. Dude is 35 now.
@@jdk67 So? Kim Collins had his personal best in 100m sprint race at age 40.
@@pedroroque829 true. And MJ arguably had his best season when he was 35. I would just say that KD is slightly past it. Again that’s not to say he sucks or he’s washed. He’s just obviously lost a step. He went from a 99 overall to a 97. He’s still amazing but not quite like 3-5 years ago.
@@jdk67 Yeah that I can agree
If they miss playoffs Vogels ass fired
Physical prime? KD was never athletic like that. So I think he’s still in his prime.
KD is basically a taller and more efficient Kobe
@breadandcircuses8127Kobe takes way more shots and has the most missed shots in nba history and Kd 6’10 Kobe 6’6
No he's not. At all
All he had to do was stay in Golden State🤷
Rs doe smh
Doesn't have curry
That man ruins every team he touches
Not a fan of KD but at least his game is not unwatchable like LeBron’s.
How is lebron unwatchable😹
I don't think any team should take this guy....he is a problem and will break the locker room of any serious team....he is not a team player...he has been a disaster for Phoenix
