yeah but... compared to LeBron pretty much every player is a shitty passer. Compared to Blazer forwards, Durant is worlds better as a passer/playmaker. So are all Blazer forwards incredibly worse then shitty passers or maybe are you & whoeverthefIquoted1st mischaracterizing what a shitty passer is?
Sweet not joke, only 15 years stale. Hey, wheres the beef?
Good grief with the bipolar takes. I'm contending he's not a "shitty passer" not Steve Nash. I'll know better then to respond next time you derail
I never said he was that.
Probably not from in here but his overall popularity would be the same, and on the broader scale other people would say the same.
Oh and your contention was that KD is a stud at almost every facet of the game, I disagree in terms of passing and being an actual playmaker for others, sure Steve Nash was hyperbole, but what do you consider a stud in terms of play making for others?
every team he's been on since HS? Honestly, all your takes seem to be hyperbole. Not for me.
I used to think the same but now I see him as a pretty good ball player. Not as good as LeBron, no one else comes close to LeBron.
Sure he makes his team better because he’s great at what he does, but he doesn’t really make individuals on the team better. Which what I mean by play making for others. Steph is the steam engine on GS his presence makes every single player get much different shots then then he’s not on the court. Lots of guys played with Lebron, and were pretty good and went and got a contract some where else, Steve Nash earned a lot of guys contracts too, because a really skilled play maker in terms of passing, gets guys the ball in good positions to score, hits them in there shooting pocket on passes, has great court vision.
Saying KD is a stud when it comes to passing playing for others is hyperbole to me, but whatever. The guy is definitely a 1st ballot hall of famer and he's gotten better at passing, don't know what you think I'm supposed to say. I don't believe KD to be a "Stud" passer / play maker for his team mates. I don't think he's even in the top 20 of any passing categories, assists, assist t/o rating, all the passing advanced stats I've seen don't have him that high.
Yes.
Easy to put up 35 on great efficiency with two of the best shooters in the NBA on the wings next to you (one of whom is a two time MVP and climbing the all-time charts) and a DPOY center feeding you dimes. He faces like 0 double teams on GS. What other superstar can claim this?
I get what you are saying but I don't get how you can say it's easy just because he has two amazing shooters playing with him. In that case lets start taking away accolades from players who play with other all stars, Lebron James for example one of the greatest of all time. Yeah lets just say it was easy in Miami with Bosh and Wade. Easy in Cleveland with Love and Kyrie. I don't think that argument holds. KD has been scoring like this since college
Sorry, but for your equivalency to hold any water, MIA and CLE would have had to have been 73-win champions BEFORE they got LBJ.
And of course the GSW made it EASY for Durant to win them. I respect that he's a great player, but I don't respect his rings. And I think he's really douchy. I'd honestly rather root for LaMarshmallow.
Right but Bosh and Wade were two all stars. That's the part I was addressing. Love and Irving, also all stars. If we are talking teams, yeah sure this GS squad is one of the greatest of all time and were already a dynasty by the time Durant joined. Dude wanted a ring. I can't hate on that. I mean where else was he gonna go that he could get a ring? certainly wasn't gonna stay with Westbrook and I doubt any westbrook led team can win a title. I mean you guys can hate GS and the players all you want, I don't like the lack of competitiveness either but there is nothing we can do. You gotta respect guys like KD. KD has proven he is one of the best and a future hall of famer. Steph has proven he is the greatest shooter of all time, Klay also one of the best spot up shooters we have ever seen. Draymond is a high energy defensive monster and does so much for that squad with his passing as well.
Where has he proven he is a douche? shit, steph curry acts more like a douche on court than Durant has on or off the court. Durant does a lot for charity and what not. I respect that. I don't see how he acts like a douche.
Ooof - I dunno about that. They both equally suck, just in different ways.
I saw a TV commercial with Steph Curry where he says something like everyone thinks he's the nicest player in the league or some such bullshit. The guy walks around with a conceited perma-smirk. He's a great offensive talent, but I don't like him either.
No you don't.
Your anti-affinity for LaMarshmallow is well documented
Once they won their first title he because so smug and entitled. Klay too, though he seemed that way before...it just got worse. Of them all the only one I don't hate is Green. I know, it's weird - he should be the least likable. But he's the most genuine and least-changed of the bunch and the league would be better with more players like him in it. I just wish the league wouldn't let him get away with his ball-kicking and ref-hitting.I saw a TV commercial with Steph Curry where he says something like everyone thinks he's the nicest player in the league or some such bullshit.

I really dislike Westbrook as a player but I respect how hard he plays and his freakish athleticism. I dislike how Harden tries so hard to draw fouls and complains but he is still very very good. It's not difficult
