People talk about Dirk a lot about being the first big guy to handle the ball and shoot more than catch and shoots, and KD borrowed A LOT from Dirk, but Dirk was still playing a traditional position for a guy his size - a PF or C, and mostly still playing in the post, facing up. KD came into the league handling with quickness from the perimeter and shooting lights out from anywhere, never seen before from 7 foot tall guys, while playing the SG and SF position. He broke the mold that 6'10 and above should be playing inside with their backs to the basket, whether it was backing down to the basket or facing up. KD is THE GUY that inspired a whole new generation of hoopers. The Bol Bols, the Chets and Wembys, the Porzingis of the world, Paolos, the list goes on and on and on. We often talk about guys influencing the game like Curry with the 3s, AI with the swagger, etc, but we often wrongfully leave out KD and its clear he left his footprint in the game.
What a video. The greatest player I’ve ever seen. The way people talk about him you’d think he’s demar derozan . The real hoopers know who he is . Goat level player
No. It's just that all the greats also have thousands of people that will trash them for whatever reason. It's not that people view him as Derozan, that's just what you choose to pay attention to. But the amount of people that know he's great far outnumber the amount of people trashing him. Even then, some of the people trashing him know he's great too, but it's the internet. People come on here to be negative. Btw....I get your point, but Derozan is a beast lol.
@@Cilent__ I’m not negative bc I’ve acknowledged time and time again that KD is one of the greatest players in the history of Basketball without question but I don’t think he’s a top 10 all time player but again that’s not me disrespecting him or me not appreciating his talent and greatness but I don’t believe he done enough to be in that GOAT conversation with some of the other greats and I feel that some other All time great players were more impactful and better but again that doesn’t change the fact that KD is forever cemented as one of the All Time Great players to ever play this game of basketball and to me he’s easily top 20 but I don’t have him in that top 5-10 discussion
ppl have been conditioned to slander KD because they grew up watching the media hate on him from national live TV to Social Media, Yall just hold a grudge against him because he signed with the warriors and stop bron for winning more rings. People literally didnt care about Steph this much until KD became the villain.
Well said! The LEMEDIA had to make KD the LEVILLIAN because whenever he met Bron' on the highest of stages with equal talent on both sides...KD always was the difference. LeBron know's that KD is on a different level.
Imagine if chris paul was the point guard instead of Russell Westbrooke on the Thunder in both they're primes.Smh.Chris Paul was pg Kevin Durant needed.

He's not. He can't handle physicality and trash talk. The only time he could talk was when he's backed by GSW, making everything 1v1 for him and lot of times was wide open

Kevin Durant is a TOP 5 Player of All Time for sure!
I put him at 4th all time just behind MJ, Kareem and Wilt
@@andrewholiday2152I put him number 1

Thank you!
I’m Kevin Durant, you know who I am.
That baseline off glass fadeaway at 6:58 on Bol bol was so freaking tough
He’s one of the Greatest Scorers and has never touched 60 points just find that crazy in it self
He don't take enough shots to hit 60.
Cause KD don’t many shots he’s efficient which makes him that more unguardable nothing you can do🤷🏾♂️🤣
@@MrIphi1963 and he gets doubled A LOT
@@kamscott4862 So did some other All time great scores and players like Kobe, MJ, Iverson and they still found ways to score 55-60 consistently
@@MrIphi1963 Exactly he doesn’t have that aggressive scorers mindset that guys like MJ, Kobe, and Iverson had .
Bruh really underrated 😢
KD 1 on 1 is winning most of not all tournaments with current players. All time, top 5.
What a video. The greatest player I’ve ever seen. The way people talk about him you’d think he’s demar derozan . The real hoopers know who he is . Goat level player
facts. he's your favourite players favourite player

Just imagine if he played with a real pg
He played with Kyrie and Curry.
