This video was super awesome .bro, nothing but the truth from all my favorite players past and present. Every last one of them were and still are scoring machines, especially coming from Carmelo Anthony . I enjoyed this topic, man. Kevin Durant is the real GOAT at scoring on anyone Night in and night out, home or away games, that is extremely difficult.
we don't want him back, personally i never wanted him to begin with great individual player but does not have a winning mentality or the iq to do it elsewhere. synonymous with the death of the big 3, but he still doesn't see it.
Webmaster1537 Be quiet about mentality to win. KD has shown that on every team he has played for. His team mates don't have the drive to win and it shows. That's not Kd fault but theirs. KD has showed the mentality to win on OKC, the nets, suns, and GSW. As far as GSW not wanting KD on their team. That's bs. The gsw wanted KD and went to great lengths to recruit him. You don't get to claim to not want a player but at the same time make a hard to refuse offer to recruit them. That's backwards. KD didn't beg to go to gsw they begged him. That's a big difference that you people seem to forget. Who cares if GSW didn't need him those years when after that they begged him to join them. You hate the player for moving but not the team and franchise that made them move. What kind of hypocritical hater mess is this? Hate on Klay for taking a pay cut to give KD a salary for him to join their team, hate on curry for not offering push back for KD joining the team, hate on draymond for begging and then later flipping on Kd for helping his two faced self win rings and be the best player on that team. Also you people love making false comparison. That 2017 GSW team with KD wasn't going against KD on OKC they where going against the cavs who on record that 2017 gsw team was not beating without kd. That team littlerally lose to them after KD got injured. Where was curry during that time. Since he was going to win a ring without KD during that time period. O wait he did not. He flopped. I will compare who I want to. I'm not Kd fan but I don't like robots, hypocrites, and backwards thinking people who lacking context when it matters most. KD is team player he passes when there is a good read to pass and has dependable teammates that can shoot more than 15 points a game. KD makes every team he plays for better. Literally every team he plays for they get to the finals. You can't say that for curry. People need to realize it's harder winning a ring on a brand new team compared to staying with the same 2 players you where drafted with. It's just like going to a new school. You have to start over again building teamwork, team chemistry, and bond on and off the court and making a system. With a old team with the same 2 guys on your roster you already have the plan figured out. That's why I claim that curry didn't earn his rings he had his career on easy mode to afraid to take the chance to win a ring with a different starting big 3 or trade to a different team. The only time it happens is when klay decides to leave. Just now in 2024. KD gave OKC 9 years of his prime and every time that franchise let him down. Why should he be loyal to a franchise that isn't helping him win anything? You sound foolish. Most players know KD is unbeatable. Even curry knows. Rings are for teams who have great chemistry and are dependable not those who nags about leading and lacking a mentality.
rings are for dependable teams KD unfortunately hasn't had a dependable team that shines when it matters most. One player should not Carry a game in a team sport. That's a bad team rating.

As Knicks , All media fanboys do is judge KD is based on his move to the Warriors and every time they bring his legacy they question it. reason media fanboys thinkin it’s was weak move is cause he took 2 from Bron…. Funny none of the fanboys guys blame steph or warriors organization They do not just get to just skate by and keep all the glory while KD gets all the heat. They recruited him (not the other way around)
People talking about the move that he went to golden state, But we're talking about this game is better than Lebron.And everybody right now especially beforee you got hurt
KD is the reason why I had the courage to finally say I'm done playing the traditional Center because my friends would always say, "You're tall, go rebound and do nothing else."
KD going to golden state was a gift and curse, we got to see how beautiful his game was there fa sho he was AT THE TIME the arguably best player in the league, sucks he lost to them in the playoffs but Golden state needed him cause they was not gonna be cleveland if they ran it back without him
I like how Shaq put it. In a way KD is his own category. I always tell my people this, if you were at a playground picking teams for pick up, KD would be first pick always
I got him at #2. I think he would be #1 if he was more ball dominant. I don't know if it is the coaches or other players or Durant's relaxed attitude. but to me over his career I've seen to many plays where Durant didn't get enough touches. Durant Is the first option and then some one else can look for a shot and if it isn't damn near wide open it should go back to Durant. It always seemed like Jordan and Lebron has the ball at all times but with Durant the ball is shared to much.
This is why they call America weak now this man got all the talent and no will but since he got all the talent hes the greatest 😂😂 proof tells me everything will shows me everything talent is everywhere
He’s #8 all time scoring with the 3rd less minutes played in the top 20 by any chance he gets 200-300 games played before it’s over he’ll be the 2nd leading scorer
Easy money sniper, love how he declared his height shorter to get the position he wants and dominate, is this the greatest era of basketball with talented and skilled players or not?
KD is amazing. Absolutely terrific. But His game, like Dirk, is based off of Larry "Legend" Bird. Just like LeBron, based His game of off Magic, You young cats need to understand the NBA existed before the year 2000. I love the game and where it is and going in the future. As a born and raised Boston Celtics fan I have watched KD since His days in Seattle. I will say, in my own humble opinion, He is now in the top 15 based off of scoring and talent. He can't be in the top 10 in the annals of history because of the championship pedigrees needed. But if we are talking consistently being over 20pts every game for 10plus years (approaching 20years) only LeBron and KD have that claim. It is a privilege to watch this monumental basketball player grace us with His astounding game. It has been dope ASF watching the "Slim Reaper".
Larry Bird is a legend & was an all around player who could score, pass, & rebound. To be compared to Larry Bird is a flattering comment but KD’s game is based of the streets of Washington DC. Larry Bird was not crossing people over or getting shots off the dribble or going to the basket & dunking on people. He wasn’t shooting pull up threes of the dribble & he wasn’t blocking shots either. Two different games. Only similarity they have is the can shoot the ball & rebound. But Larry Bird didn’t have a street ball game, he had spectacular no look passes but Larry Bird & KD do not have the same game. I’m from DC watch KD play since he was a young phenom. Him & a Michael Beasley came up together & both are great scorers. Especially one on one scorers & can shoot effortlessly & play with a certain edge. That’s just game from Washington DC game. KD did take that one leg shot from Dirk Nowitzki but KD game is all Washington DC.
..mwrong, I saw Bird play from beginning to end when his back wasn't shot he could dunk, he shot running 3s off the dribble with likes of Jordan and Pippen trying to block him, time and again, even one legged 3s long before Dirk, broke ankles on quite a few players including Dominique on several occasions...and look at his stats, steals and Blocks, yes he could ... KD is amazing for sure but, let's not say things about Larry's game that aren't true when you obviously don't know the game I saw him play in College and then the Pros... BTW KD 1.1 bpg, 1.1 spg avg Bird 1.7 SPG, .8 bpg... So if you add the 2 averages together you get 2.5 averages for Bird, 2.2 for KD... ... Check your stats man... Just sayin'... To
@@curtiszyr facts that championship pedigree is bs. All the greats that have rings. Either joined a superteam, big 3, star duo, or they was super lucky and got drafted into that dynamic.

BTW KD 1.1 bpg, 1.1 spg avg Bird 1.7 SPG, .8 bpg... So if you add the 2 averages together you get 2.5 averages for Bird, 2.2 for KD... ... Check your stats man... Just sayin'... To
The championship pedigree is Made up nonsense , everyone every player got the help they needed to win a championship
@@curtiszyr facts that championship pedigree is bs. All the greats that have rings. Either joined a superteam, big 3, star duo, or they was super lucky and got drafted into that dynamic.
Correction shaq. He was the bus driver.
I still feel like KD is, perhaps, the best pure scorer ever. there have been some great scorers, but watching a pure scorer is little bit different. no matter who is guarding them or what defense they're playing against--- they ALWAYS make it look easy.. from anywhere on the court.
Kd vs tmac who will win?
Idk when it became "cool" to hate KD but i think its ridiculous
Hopefully kd stay injury free cus I think him bron and curry will retire around the same time frfr
Goddamn how long you think Bron playing to lol. Kd nd Steph will retire same time probably Bron out in about 2 more years, they got about 4 5 more in them
Bron needs to retire soon because he's not him anymore
@@goats_born_in_august1 curry is retiring before KD is. I wish he'd gone retired now. The league doesn't need him anymore and he has already accomplished.

He looks nowhere near 7 feet tall he's around 6'9"/6'10", but be is 1 of the greatest scorers ever to play the game
nobody will agree but if we talking just a basketball player no awards or rings he's my top five but when you add it all together he's just top ten
He is not 7 feet and never will be the biggest illusion ever
I would say he plays to 40 and ends up top 15 if not 10
KD top 10 easy . If you taking rings into consideration top 15 .
Goat kd
What video game? Not 2k.
Imagine kd shot more like mj🤷🤷
Lebron has 11550 more points than KD. 431 more games than KD. If KD plays as many games as Lebron he will have 87 more points than him 😅😅😅😅😅
I'm Kobe fan but kd is different hands down
but all LBJ fans downplay everything he does 2 upgrade LBJ and KD's better thin LBJ
#KD
KD is a purist…
Man, you can tell a little sime of the people in these comments know about basketball?
KD the goat
Brandon Roy was better 🏀❤️💪💯

I hope McCants heard Melo. KD is a 5 level scorer!!! Talking about KD can't score out the post smh What games has he been watching?...Maybe just BIG3 not the NBA 😆
I apparently didn't watch enough games over his career because I don't see it. I believe that I stopped paying attention when he left OKC. Being from Dallas I loved him here at The State University though.
@@STYLEE-T emotional
@@STYLEE-T you where never really a fan to begin with but fake.
stop just talking about his scoring this guy can force ten turn overs a game and make 5-8 assists easily he just doesnt focus on that.
The 🐐 goat title is for LeBron and Jordan...Kevin Durant and steph curry are not in that level maybe top 10 😊😊😊😊😊😊
There’s only one goat MJ Lebron not even close he needs too much help to win.

Says no one ever
@@JeromeFitchett ain’t got to say it for it to be a fact… First name another seven footer that only average 6 rebounds per game?? Next tell me one that averages just 1 block per game??? He also averages 3.5 turnovers per game and he is not the primary ball handler he is average on defense, so all KD is really is a great shooter-scorer oh almost forgot, he is the mentally the weakest Superstar in sports
Ok, ill say this so the debate will end...stand kevin next to LeBron and u will see the difference....LeBron a solid 6'9 so kevin is 6"11... .in shoes he 7ft easy
Durant isn’t the best scorer cause best scorer means you would have to be top 3 at least in all time scoring
@@Yo_ItsShane he shoots less than the greatest volume scorers on significantly higher efficiency totals are a product of health and circumstance kds production and efficiency exceeds every scorer to ever play he’s 4th all time in ppg for a career despite shooting less shots than everyone in the top 10, he’s also played with other volume scorers on he’s team throughout he’s career but hasn’t affected he’s production i understand the debate but the fact is he’s well and truly in the conversation and you can use every metric you want to debate
@@antoniojanuary7191 one ring don’t make you a great player
@@Yo_ItsShaneteams win rings players win MVPs 5v5 not 1v5 or 1v1 basketball is a team sport... By your logic Robert horry is greater than Jordan he has 7 rings 😮

The biggest lie in NBA history Cus he score U get physical with KD is a rap as y'all seeing now

Not the best scorer ever nor the most dominant this is nonsense Boston made this dude look like a chump
He’s definitely lost a step, but he’s still amazing. He’s got so many more years left
He is a special player but he needs to win championships without steph curry and the warriors dynasty with Nets suns okc no rings he is a top 10 player maybe a better shooter than steph curry 🥘 😊😊
@@williamvelazquez659 he not a better shooter than curry lol but he is a scorer than curry

2012 finals was rigged
There's no defense today, dominance question that.
