Kevin Durant's Relentless Pursuit to Be the Greatest

[basquebromance]

The NBA has never seen a player quite like Kevin Durant. Larry Bird wasn’t as quick, Magic Johnson didn’t have such a range, and Michael Jordan wasn’t seven feet tall. Durant handles the ball like Allen Iverson, shoots like Dirk Nowitzki, and has the scoring instincts of Kobe Bryant. He does it in a body that’s about as big as Hakeem Olajuwon. But ultimately, Kevin Durant is like no one but himself.

Durant scored 38 points in the first half against the Clips last night, beating Charles Barkley's record for most points scored in a half in the playoffs

That was fun watching him get swept. I think he’s a great player but he has had off court drama so he’s not the kind of guy you root for. I used to but not since all the drama. He has a bad attitude.

Same with kyrie, harden, simmons. So I’m rooting for Boston or the bucs. Or the heat. No drama as far as I know on those teams

You won't get a player like Durant leading a team to a title, not without equally talented players like he had in Golden State. He had Harden and Westbrook in OKC and choked a 3-1 playoff series lead against the Warriors. He's a malcontent that cannot lead a team. Bye Kevin.
