KD was the best player on the floor in those GSW vs CLE Finals. I still remember game 3 in Cleveland, KD hitting a dagger 3 and standing there staring at the crowd as they rolled to commercial
You gotta understand bro it was easy for KD to go off when he played for GSW. It was two other great shooters to take the attention off of him. So that means he doesn’t get double teamed
Nobody could be within 10 feet of kd because they had to hug 2 of the best shooters in world history. If you understand basketball you know it's easy to score with that much space. Part of the reason he signed there. You put any superstar on that team you get the exact same result. They were already 73-9. Really low level basketball take. Their finals stats for rebounding and scoring in the cavs warriors match ups are almost identical but bron averaged double the assists and against a wall of defense.
ppl have been conditioned to slander KD because they grew up watching the media hate on him from national live TV to Social Media. they just hold a grudge against him because he signed with the warriors and beat bron they still mad But we in europe we know this: KD is not only Team USA’s all time leading scorer, he has the most gold medals of all of the greats! Career as a whole, KD has not underachieved. FIBA GOAT
Kd got 0 slander for the first decade of his career and was in lebron's shadow as the 2nd best small forward. The media doesn't shape opinions here its just basketball common sense. Everybody not a gsw fan in the US said wtf when he signed to a 73-9 team. He has never won anything as the engine of a team. Golden state used him as a tool to take all of the pressure off of steph because he was developing a history of choking in the finals. Kd couldn't win with okc as the #1, not in Brooklyn, not in phoenix. He got to enjoy the luxury of playing with a 73-9 established team with 2 of the best shooters in basketball history so nobody could scheme defensively. And gold medals are irrelevant when talking best players all time for the nba. We didn't send our best players for a while once we got the world back under control. If we don't win gold it's a big problem (won 17/20). Gold medals are a given for the usa. Nba champions are not.

The way kd plays and moves for someone who is 7 foot is elite and rare. Only when kd retires will he get his flowers. All the cupcake comments are old as hell. He went to the finals with okc(couldn't win with westbrook and harden). But could lebron win with westbrook ? Could anyone win with harden even now ? Doesn't matter he went to GS to win. The chemistry worked. Thats not the case for every team that has championship contenders on they roster. If he went to san antonio the same year he went to gs, people would say the same thing cause they would have tim duncan,tony parker,ginnobili, kawhi, lamarcus aldridge, dejonte murray, patty mills, pau gasol and KD. If he went to knicks with melo, ane others it would be same thing. If he went to pacers it would be KD, prime paul george, myles turner, al jefferson, teague, and lance stephenson. Almost evert team kd would of went to at the time he went to GSW, he would of put over the top.
Anyone that says KD isn’t on Curry’s level is just bias and hates KD. Take out the politics but as a basketball player you cannot put Steph over him. That’s insane and the problem with NBA journalism.
Nah KD isnt on Currys level. Curry effects the Geometery of the basketball court with his presence ALONE. Curry transformedhow basketball is played. That way better than a 7 foot scorer

Facts. KD is the perfect prototype but mentally he can’t carry a team. I used to hate Westbrook back in the day too thinking he was hindering him but the truth is KD is Carmelo mentally
He was up 3-1 against the warriors. Them becoming who they are in the first place is his fault. I remember game 6 he shot like 10-32 or something on his home floor. He didn't have the heart to keep attacking. Westbrook did but he doesn't have the skill to win on that level.

I just want to say… imagine if Durant landed on a team that had a legitimate leadership presence as a youngster. The most experienced vet with those skills was Kevin Ollie in his 3rd season but it was also Ollie’s first season there so it’s not like he was a part of some culture already and showing Durant the ropes. Greats will be greats anywhere but I like to think someone like Tim Duncan became even better due to the leadership that was already on the Spurs. He could be the guy as the #1 pick but also could look to the vets for leadership. Heck, he probably even grew at Wake Forest by staying and being able to lead the younger class. Durant has finally started to figure it out but he never really seemed to be able to learn from others as he was the man at Texas then left early and again… never had real veteran leadership or steady front offices/coaches that created their own system where he could learn how to lead from them. I think he wanted to try and be the leader on the Nets but was still trying to figure it out and couldn’t make it happen. It’s a lot harder than just flipping on a switch and saying, “I’m a leader now”.
Christmas Day games should be: #1 West vs #1 East…. Then 2 vs 2, 3 vs 3, 4 vs4.😮😮 Or maybe a different holiday, but do something with meaning. Spices up all the games.
I like KD , he’s great at what he brings to the game , I think the issue is that he is not a real fan of the media , he’s not really interested in that part of it , he’s quiet , kinda shy … but you know the media , they twist it & make him anti social , a me me me guy , Steph is well spoken , doesn’t swear , not really an ego maniac, he’s smaller in stature so he gets the under dog love … and he’s a family guy , kinda cute , And Bron well cmon we all know that saga …..
I don't think KD is on Curry and Lebron level as far as the marketability aspect. Great player. All time great. Probably top 25 guy ever. But he doesn't have the personality the other guys have. People love Lebron and people love Curry and it's not only about basketball. KD you love because he's great at basketball.
The dollars that can be made off of marketability is lacking in these conversations. KD's goated despite being adversarial to the media and not a cash machine compared to the likes of Curry and Bron.
LeBron ain’t the best comparison when it comes to a Finals match up. Bron got outplayed by Jason Terry, Kawhi Leonard and J.J. Barea. 😂 in the Finals. But we can compare Durant not winning squat since he left Golden State 😅
@atrax58 I'm just going off viewing ISO between the two. All the other stuff I'm not taking that into consideration but if you really think about it. It shows who's better at ball in a way
Man Yall crazy kd just never played wit the players lebron or Steph played wit b4 he got wit Steph Westbrook nd harden was young cause ain’t no way u pickin Steph over kd at all
He played with Harden & Kyrie, he has Beal & Booker... Steph has had worst teammates than Bron & KD. Skill wise, KD is on their level... but actual in-game impact he doesn't compare.
KD has played with some hell of a players bro cut it out , I get your talking about timing but to insinuate KD hasn't played with great players as well is just false.
@ wtf are u talkin bout Yall just be tryin to have a point kyrie couldn’t play because covid hard was hurt wit a hamstring wn Kyrie was there against bucks in playoffs they was blowing bucks out then kyrie got hurt harden came back tried to play but couldn’t even run so wn did they all play together for a season nd kd was hurt it was always only two playin then one got hurt
Pat Mahomes is showing why he is the #1 QB this year. On all accounts he is having a down year with multiple aging WR/TE spots. They have barely seemed to win this year but are still 15-1 so Andy Reid and Mahomes know how to win. Big shout out to their defense and also Hunt. Dudes been money for them.
KD is probably the most hated player in the league and Steph probably the most loved. That’s why one is underrated and one is overrated. It’s simple if you just think.
Durant (a phenomenal player) will never get his due because he decided to join a stacked team in Golden State...which is ironic because the main four on that team went to recruit him, and they (that is, Steph) somehow managed to avoid the same scrutiny. Honestly, the reason why is because Steph won before Durant got there and after he left. Durant is going to have to win a championship to wipe away some of that stigma.
KD is on Curry and Bron level. KD was the best player on that Warrior's team. Steph also has two rings because of KD, but that isnt the narrative that people push. KD also busted Bron ass in those finals. Stop the disrespect
KD is revered by Hoopers, fans of pro basketball and some casual fans however Steph and Lebron are revered by the masses. It's no knock on KD and his future NBA Hall of Fame accomplishments. Kawhi Leonard in his prime was great however he doesn't have the flash and flare of a Superstar. Anthony Edwards, Luca, Wemby & Morant will probably be the next up & coming Superstars of the league. Tyrese Maxey has a good possibility of being added to that list of Superstars because of his style of play and personality.
It's sad how many casuals don't know much about KD. As far as NBA players, is the best to ever play streetball. He put 59 on Lebrons head during the Lockout. But most y'all too young or too casual to know anything about that. Too young to understand what he did at the Rucker. He has won every level he has played ball but College. He has his own legacy that Curry, LeBron, and generations of ball players can't touch. He has revolutionized how guys with his build play (for better and worse) just like Curry has given us more 3 point shooters and just like LeBron has turned guys into triple double stat padders. He has had as much good and bad to his impact on basketball as those two or any NBA player has had. I honestly think he's currently playing for longevity with the way he is built. He's had serious injuries mid career and I simply see a guy who is being conservative with how he risks his body at this stage.
Although, disagree with perk. 1. Ppl seem to forget Steph literally took a backseat to kd, klay did too sometimes for kd to b kd on the warriors. 2. Take kd off the team, who’s ringless with a lot of accolades? 3. Yah must’ve not realized but that mostly drafted 17-19 except Durant and cousins went up against the “goat” and 2x the allstars GS had. Look it up.

@@lejamesbron4055it was gsw big 3 steph klay dray that beat Okc duo kd and russ. If u want add ibaka to a big 3 that fine but he wasn’t never an all star or close to draymond caliber so theres that…. Game 6 klay too don’t forget. Ya always tryn compare individual players winning or losing when is a team game. If u want compare 2 players u compare their games off eye test and some stats not the amount of winning a team does.
Kd isn’t on magic, Jordan, Kobe, curry, iverson, Lebrons, or shaqs level of stardom 🤷🏿♂️ but talent wise…he could beat any of them WHENEVER he wants
You sick kd can not beat kobe, LeBron or jordan.
@kennycastillo6185 nah This is a casuals take KD influenced Every young player today the Slim skinny hunter can shoot from anywhere.
@ so you giving KD zero chance of beaten them?
KD is not only Team USA’s all time leading scorer, he has the most gold medals of all of the greats! Career as a whole, KD has not underachieved. Very impressive stuff from KD! tell me who in planet have 4 gold medals Fiba/oly. mens bball?
@@kenrrycastillo6185 dont waste your time with hater bro. ppl have been conditioned to slander KD because they grew up watching the media hate on him from national live TV to Social Media
The KD slander in here is crazy 😂 but the same ones who talk crazy bout that man can’t even hoop foh
So you gotta hoop to critique a player ? Lol
@@kingofcomments1917A hof player legend yes you fkn do if you not gon say nothing positive don’t say shit at all and if you are gon critique you best be a good hooper yourself
Literally irrelevant
Fact is what I can remember is that perk only won 1 chip.
Yall are hilarious with your takes. Jerry Rice couldn’t catch a cold 😂😂😂
He’s on the level saying my he’s not is crazy
Jimmy Not Leaving Miami 😂😂😂
I just want to say… imagine if Durant landed on a team that had a legitimate leadership presence as a youngster. The most experienced vet with those skills was Kevin Ollie in his 3rd season but it was also Ollie’s first season there so it’s not like he was a part of some culture already and showing Durant the ropes.
Greats will be greats anywhere but I like to think someone like Tim Duncan became even better due to the leadership that was already on the Spurs. He could be the guy as the #1 pick but also could look to the vets for leadership. Heck, he probably even grew at Wake Forest by staying and being able to lead the younger class.
Durant has finally started to figure it out but he never really seemed to be able to learn from others as he was the man at Texas then left early and again… never had real veteran leadership or steady front offices/coaches that created their own system where he could learn how to lead from them.
I think he wanted to try and be the leader on the Nets but was still trying to figure it out and couldn’t make it happen. It’s a lot harder than just flipping on a switch and saying, “I’m a leader now”.
Yall really one of the best pods, yall gotta get more non athlete celeb guests and get they fanbases watching...
Nawl don't need tht
Christmas Day games should be: #1 West vs #1 East…. Then 2 vs 2, 3 vs 3, 4 vs4.😮😮 Or maybe a different holiday, but do something with meaning. Spices up all the games.
I like KD , he’s great at what he brings to the game , I think the issue is that he is not a real fan of the media , he’s not really interested in that part of it , he’s quiet , kinda shy … but you know the media , they twist it & make him anti social , a me me me guy , Steph is well spoken , doesn’t swear , not really an ego maniac, he’s smaller in stature so he gets the under dog love … and he’s a family guy , kinda cute , And Bron well cmon we all know that saga …..
I don't think KD is on Curry and Lebron level as far as the marketability aspect. Great player. All time great. Probably top 25 guy ever. But he doesn't have the personality the other guys have. People love Lebron and people love Curry and it's not only about basketball. KD you love because he's great at basketball.
The dollars that can be made off of marketability is lacking in these conversations. KD's goated despite being adversarial to the media and not a cash machine compared to the likes of Curry and Bron.
Kevin Durant is the reason why Lebron isn’t the undeniable best of all time AND the reason Steph is considered one of the best PGs of all time.
Nice lil Cuban 🤣🤣
perk is right he not on lebron or curry level respectfully
Bruh KD definitely a goat to many people everybody got there own 🐐
Ya'll flamed tf outta jerry rice braids
cookin w cuban😂😂😂😂
No one is talking how Jokic championship was a fluke
We saw kd vs lebron on the biggest stage against each other and kd cleared him ....he looked like the superior player in Those finals
LeBron ain’t the best comparison when it comes to a Finals match up. Bron got outplayed by Jason Terry, Kawhi Leonard and J.J. Barea. 😂 in the Finals. But we can compare Durant not winning squat since he left Golden State 😅
@atrax58 I'm just going off viewing ISO between the two. All the other stuff I'm not taking that into consideration but if you really think about it. It shows who's better at ball in a way
Perk ain't wrong with that one.
I don’t like KD but that man is an ALIEN, Slim Reaper, Perk you wasn’t nobody without comparing to KD, SHUT UP
These nba players be getting mad when you criticize them ion get it
If I need one of three to take the last shot, I Choose KD. But he isn’t on that level to me.
Man Yall crazy kd just never played wit the players lebron or Steph played wit b4 he got wit Steph Westbrook nd harden was young cause ain’t no way u pickin Steph over kd at all
He played with Harden & Kyrie, he has Beal & Booker... Steph has had worst teammates than Bron & KD.
Skill wise, KD is on their level... but actual in-game impact he doesn't compare.
KD has played with some hell of a players bro cut it out , I get your talking about timing but to insinuate KD hasn't played with great players as well is just false.
@ wtf are u talkin bout Yall just be tryin to have a point kyrie couldn’t play because covid hard was hurt wit a hamstring wn Kyrie was there against bucks in playoffs they was blowing bucks out then kyrie got hurt harden came back tried to play but couldn’t even run so wn did they all play together for a season nd kd was hurt it was always only two playin then one got hurt
@name the players he played one whole year wit and dnt say wit young harder or rust or Steph nd bull played how many games last yr
Nah Lebron had worse. KD is worth 3 positions@@DforVendetta1
Hes a great scorer ... other than that his old shoes were cool lmao
Can’t give a guy with a RB that has 1800 yards the mvp like tf yall smoking?
Pat Mahomes is showing why he is the #1 QB this year. On all accounts he is having a down year with multiple aging WR/TE spots. They have barely seemed to win this year but are still 15-1 so Andy Reid and Mahomes know how to win.
Big shout out to their defense and also Hunt. Dudes been money for them.
KD is probably the most hated player in the league and Steph probably the most loved. That’s why one is underrated and one is overrated. It’s simple if you just think.
This is just crazy coming from perk. Sorry as teammate
Even in 2012 KD might’ve been the best player in the series. People acting like LeBron is heads and tells above KD is crazy.
KD is not Lebron or Steph.
He is Kevin Durant.
Which is 3rd 😌
Steph & Bron on a TOTALLY different level 💯💯💯
Top 2 WRs out for season and you say CJ in a slump
Durant (a phenomenal player) will never get his due because he decided to join a stacked team in Golden State...which is ironic because the main four on that team went to recruit him, and they (that is, Steph) somehow managed to avoid the same scrutiny. Honestly, the reason why is because Steph won before Durant got there and after he left. Durant is going to have to win a championship to wipe away some of that stigma.
What about Beals NO TRADE CLAUSE ?!??🤷🏽♂️
Perk need to stop the bs😂
KD isn't LeBron or Steph but if you ask them they'll tell you he is ! 🤷🏾♂️
Jerry couldn’t catch a cold is crazy 😭
KD is on Curry and Bron level. KD was the best player on that Warrior's team. Steph also has two rings because of KD, but that isnt the narrative that people push. KD also busted Bron ass in those finals. Stop the disrespect
Kendrick Perkins just say stuff for tv now ..he's a normal casual now
nobody is on lebrons level, maybe mj and pippen but everyone is a subordinate to the king. but ld is definitely in the top 3 sf all time conversation
KD is revered by Hoopers, fans of pro basketball and some casual fans however Steph and Lebron are revered by the masses. It's no knock on KD and his future NBA Hall of Fame accomplishments. Kawhi Leonard in his prime was great however he doesn't have the flash and flare of a Superstar. Anthony Edwards, Luca, Wemby & Morant will probably be the next up & coming Superstars of the league. Tyrese Maxey has a good possibility of being added to that list of Superstars because of his style of play and personality.
He not. It’s a difference between between Batman & bein Robin. He a great Robin wit Batman skills
Stop the KD I understand he left,took easy way out door ring. But he the truth. Perkins talks like he was actually good🤷🏽♂️
The argument wasn’t who was better….its who are Superstars. More people worldwide know the name Steph Curry than KD. KD is the better player no doubt
KD has not lead a squad to a chip. He's currently showing us with PHX
As a commander fan Daniel’s for mvp and rookie of the year my boa 😏😂
KD is on the level of harden and westbrook. the OKC trio, but not on lebron and steph level
It's sad how many casuals don't know much about KD. As far as NBA players, is the best to ever play streetball. He put 59 on Lebrons head during the Lockout. But most y'all too young or too casual to know anything about that. Too young to understand what he did at the Rucker. He has won every level he has played ball but College.
He has his own legacy that Curry, LeBron, and generations of ball players can't touch. He has revolutionized how guys with his build play (for better and worse) just like Curry has given us more 3 point shooters and just like LeBron has turned guys into triple double stat padders. He has had as much good and bad to his impact on basketball as those two or any NBA player has had. I honestly think he's currently playing for longevity with the way he is built. He's had serious injuries mid career and I simply see a guy who is being conservative with how he risks his body at this stage.
Kendrick ain't even on Greg Ostertags level lmmfao
Id Sacrifice 20%o of 3 Point Volume to be 7Ft With Post Moves and Same Bag🤷
Why the audio sound like that. Sound like a jail call
Although, disagree with perk. 1. Ppl seem to forget Steph literally took a backseat to kd, klay did too sometimes for kd to b kd on the warriors. 2. Take kd off the team, who’s ringless with a lot of accolades? 3. Yah must’ve not realized but that mostly drafted 17-19 except Durant and cousins went up against the “goat” and 2x the allstars GS had. Look it up.
He said he’s not prime time aka a draw on the same level Steph and LEBRON are and that’s facts. Ask ya GMA who KD is she’s not gonna know .
