@MMOX991 @GhimanMcKinney @FirstTake @TezzTalks @KendrickPerkins @stephenasmith ? LeBron’s an alltime level defender, he made 6 all defensive teams and could guard 1-5. He was in the running for DPOTY multiple times. He took pride on both ends lol
English
@OpieMes @GhimanMcKinney @FirstTake @TezzTalks @KendrickPerkins @stephenasmith When you have no wear and tear on one side of the court you will stat pad lol. Lebron and KD are athletic enough to be first team all NBA defense every year but aren’t. Why? Longevity and money. Kobe, KG, MJ, Duncan? Always all defense because they took pride on both ends.

"Kevin Durant is not a top-10 player of all time. He's knocking at the door of being a top-10 player of all time."
@KendrickPerkins and @stephenasmith debate 🏀
English
@MMOX991 @GhimanMcKinney @FirstTake @TezzTalks @KendrickPerkins @stephenasmith I wasn’t trying to slight bill btw, I respect him heavily. But your logic cuts both ways. Saying he “could’ve” averaged 20 is the same type of assumption as saying KD “could’ve” been an elite defender if he focused on it. Neither actually happened
English
@OpieMes @GhimanMcKinney @FirstTake @TezzTalks @KendrickPerkins @stephenasmith Russell easily couldve avg 20 ppg but focused on defense. NBA now focuses on offense & it gets players paid. Def won ships at the time. He would have been in olympics as high jumper was a freak led unknown SFU to 2 ncaa titles. 5x mvp & marched w MLK. KD lives care free.
English
@MMOX991 @GhimanMcKinney @FirstTake @TezzTalks @KendrickPerkins @stephenasmith Two way argument is overstated, a lot of fringe top 10 players were never elite defensively (curry, jokic) and still rightfully belong in the convo. It goes both ways, bill russell is arguably top 10 and could never average 20ppg. KDs longevity and alltime stats also trump birds
English
@OpieMes @GhimanMcKinney @FirstTake @TezzTalks @KendrickPerkins @stephenasmith Durant will never be top ten. There are legitimate two way players he can never bump. Top 10 scorer is reasonable. Player. No f’n chance. Bird actually played D. Durant has never made an all defensive team. Bird great shooter, passer, def, put body on line, and talked elite sh*t
English
@Rallmoneyyyyyy @FlakesSavage @FirstTake @KendrickPerkins @stephenasmith Then it doesn’t hold up lol, u can’t seriously compare players like Lawrence and modern guys if you haven’t watched any full film. You’re just regurgitating talking points that you can’t even confirm hold any weight
English
@OpieMes @FlakesSavage @FirstTake @KendrickPerkins @stephenasmith I didn’t see Lawrence Taylor play but I’m not putting Nick bosa over him because I didn’t see him play lol
English
@Rallmoneyyyyyy @FlakesSavage @FirstTake @KendrickPerkins @stephenasmith Nobody’s denying those players were great, but acting like it’s “crazy” to have KD apart of this convo is lazy. These discussions require context and actual understanding of the players. going off stats and media consensus is pointless, u add nothing to the convo this way
English
@OpieMes @FlakesSavage @FirstTake @KendrickPerkins @stephenasmith Dude just because I didn’t see someone play doesn’t mean they wasn’t great is my point. It’s not a list of the greatest players I seen. It’s who is the greatest players that have played the game when you do research
English
@Rallmoneyyyyyy @FlakesSavage @FirstTake @KendrickPerkins @stephenasmith So because other people make irrational opinions with 0 knowledge of what they’re talking about, that now makes it okay for you to do the same? What logic is that?
English
@FlakesSavage @FirstTake @KendrickPerkins @stephenasmith Why does that matter he played. So 30 years from now I’m supposed to hear somebody that’s 21 years old say so and so that’s playing in 2056 is better then Kobe or bron or Jordan just because they haven’t seen them play ?
English
@MMOX991 @GhimanMcKinney @FirstTake @TezzTalks @KendrickPerkins @stephenasmith KD was going head to head with LeBron at his apex for mvp. Bird wouldn’t have a single one in Durants circumstances lol
English
@GhimanMcKinney @FirstTake @TezzTalks @KendrickPerkins @stephenasmith Bird is the only player all time to win 3 consecutive MVPs
English
@BradeauxNBA Should be 1st team but the voters have historically preferred kawhi over KD unfortunately

Kevin Durant in his first season with the Rockets:
- 4th in Defensive FG% (42.2%) 🔒
- 4th in total Points (2,026). Oldest player to ever record 2,000 points in a season.
- 26.0 PPG (64.1 TS%)
- 2nd in total minutes (2,840)
What all NBA team should he make?

@purehoops35 Every GM since 2014 has been drafting anyone tall that shoots in hopes of them being the next KD lol

There’s a 7 foot guard that every player over 6’8 tries to play like btw
