Talent wise? He’s a top 5 player of all time, but being one of the greatest players takes more than just talent. It’s mentality, leadership, the ability to push a team to the championship.
It’s convenient to crown someone after the progression of their game was built on the foundation of the forefathers of the game.
Athletes are athletes and given the opportunity to progress they would do just that.
We don’t have time machines though.
That being said context is important.
Who did the big O play with when he won a title? Who won finals mvp when he did win his only title? Hmm I see what you’re saying but that matters in the argument as well.
You talking about pushing a team to the title at least Kd was the best player on his team when he won.
Kd did push his team to the finals in okc even tho he didn’t win he got there and lost to Miami and he won a series by himself when Westbrook got hurt he beat Houston with Reggie Jackson and thabo
@@Lildirt15 Didn’t they get gentleman’s swept by the grizzles after that when Westbrook didn’t play at all though?
Take accolades aside, basketball talent and skill wise he's really top 10
@@chasebeecham12 hit a dagger right in his face.
@@chasebeecham12 im sorry when you are playing with a team that won without you, that knocked you out with 3-1 lead without steph curry, and set the all time wins in a season without you... what do you expect
Perk violated Richard Jefferson😂😂
Richard sarcasm killin me 💀
“that’s what great about America”😂😂
He's a super patronizing. 😂
"I love your opinions so much. They're so valuable." 💀
Perkins is a top 2000 player of all time
Thats pretty good isnt it lol
No he’s not lol
Terrible list. Kobe at 10? Shaq 11?
K.D.talent wise is top 10 but it takes more then talent to make that list. He still doesn't have the accolades to make top 10 + he's only 2 titles came we all know how. After joining the team that couldn't pretty much loose before they got him:)
Both Shaq and Kobe won 3 and 2 as being the main force on their team. Not having Hakeem on that list is also a travesty.
My top 15 would be:
1.Jordan
2. LeBron
3.Kareem
4.Wilt
5.Magic
6.Russel
7.Bird
8. Kobe
9. Shaq
10.Duncan
11.Hakeem
12.Durant
13.Curry
14.Oscar
15.Moses Malone

Arguably
Steph Curry disrespect continues
Stop. He’s overrated af.
Bro fr i want them to win championship this year to shut these media "experts"
KD = 1 MVP, 3 Finals (all with Curry), 2 championships, 2 Finals MVP's, 4 scoring titles
Curry = 2 MVPs (only unanimous one), 6 Finals, 4 championships, 1 Finals MVP, 2 scoring titles, numerous NBA records including all-time 3-pointers made
Not to mention, Curry revolutionized the NBA to make it more 3-point-centric and he's a household name worldwide. I live outside the US and most people I've met from other countries known who Stephen Curry is. In comparison, the only people who've heard of Durant either follow basketball or are from the US.

RJ was so pissed the whole time 💀
I put these videos on 2x speed for Perk to talk faster. Turn 8-minute videos into 4. Why is Shaq #11? He should be in the top 10. So KD is better than Shaq? Then what about Steph?
Steph curry left the chat
He's trash
With all due respect to Oscar Robertson, having him in the top 10 is egregious... Let alone ahead of Shaq and Kobe... And not having Steph in the top 12 is laughable. How does ESPN even make these lists?

Except that the all-time leading scorer is still playing. James still has 3-4 years left in his career--2 as a full-time player and 1-2 as a part-time player. Extremely doubtful that Durant breaks his record, or any player ever in history for that matter.

My point was just that it’s not accurate to say that KD saved Steph’s career.

U can’t be a top 10 player until u have a minimum of 4 rings a regular season mvp and a finals mvp lets start from there and work our way down brother
He’s window is the next 3 years I think he’ll go to 3 finals esp w having D book
you have to take in context with those championships though
I have no idea why Steph Curry is below Kevin Durant on ESPN’s Top 75, and Kobe and Shaq being below Tim Duncan
because Curry BELONGS below KD
start any team with each guy as the ONLY star player on that team and KD team is finishing better EVERY season
Maybe because kd is a way better scorer defender and rebounder and is way more versatile and was clearly the best player when they were teammates and even their coach and teammates said so. Maybe that’s why.

The most important thing for my personal list is being the undisputed best player in a finals series.
MJ 6x
LBJ 4x
Hakeem 2x
Shaq 3x
Etc etc.
Bird has 2 FMVPs but i feel like he was the best in 3.
Durant has 2 FMVPs but i feel like he was the best in zero.
(Steph and LBJ)
The games I watched he was
Fair enough. Durant is amazing.
For me tho in 2017 Curry was almost at 30 point trip dub status and LBJ was better than Curry.
All 3 were unreal but not undisputed for me with Durant.
2018 LBJ played maybe the best finals game ever. So Durant didn’t even have the best individual game.
2015 i think LBJ was the best player on the court in the finals at all times…

If KD is being considered a Top 10 player of all time we have to put Giannis and Steph in there too.
I agree but KD has more All NBAs, more All stars, FMVPS, Gold Medals, more scoring titles, and has a ROY.

KD is definitely gonna be top 5. This man one of the top 2 greatest offensive players of all time and he not 2. Carry on doe 💤
Legit question, how is he the best offensive player of all time? He got clamped last year and swept in the 1st round when Celtics got physical with him, so he's definitely not unstoppable. He doesn't have the most scoring titles all time or even close. He doesn't have the highest scoring average all time in either the regular season or playoffs, and it's not like he's thisclose to #1. He doesn't have anywhere near the highest average scoring playoff series all time or even a single series averaging 40. What playoff game has he gone absolutely bonkers in? His highest scoring season is ranked what all-time? Does he have a bunch of the highest individual scoring games of all time? Did the NBA need to change rules for him to slow him down? Were opposing teams shitting bricks trying to figure out how to slow KD down?
Seriously, how is KD the best offensive player all time?
The fact yaw talking bout him making the top 10 and we not discussing curry …. Ridiculous .. the chef slander never ends
Not even top 10 or top whatever I hold the Big O higher just because he did something and brought something that no one else before did. If KD wins a couple without Steph as the best player, then i would reconsider
Health will play a major role in KD and his place amongst the greats.
Agreed missed 12,000 points In injuries alone.
2015,2020, 2021,2022 and 2023 that’s 10,000 points alone.
