Title: What you guys think of Durant?
Post by: teecee on January 17, 2010, 11:10:22 AM
IMO, dude is CRAZY.  6'10, long ass arms, best mid range in the game (or close), and he's only 21.   He is gonna be top 3 in a few years....and I think one of the best to ever do it.

I watched him his rookie season in Seattle and it drives me insane that he got moved along with all these other exciting young players. Seriously, anyone who likes or supports the Oklahoma Thunder can die and get fucked by satan.

Kobe
LeBron
Wade
Dwight
Paul
Melo
Dirk
Granger

if you weren't looking down the road, KG & Duncan would be on the list too.

he's good, real bright future, but as of right now; i'd take these players over him.

i think he needs to start taking shots late in the game; becoming clutch lol.

that wasn't an ordered list; just names of people i would take over Durant.

but depending on the other players on my team, i might take Paul over Melo.

yea Durant is crazy, hes one of the best talents in the league and they have surrounded him with a solid core (Westbrook, Green and Harden) of players.  If they keep that core together for the next few year OKC will be a dangerous team in the west, no doubt.

He's awesome!

Blazers, Thunder and Kings are the future of the West no doubt

An argument could be made for a lot of those guys, but I don't think Granger.

^Granger is slightly less awesome on offense & is an elite defender in the league; i'd personally take Danny.

Granger definitely has better defense, but I wouldn't call him elite.  I also don't think Granger's upside is anywhere near Durants.   For right now though, I guess I can see why you say Granger.

Durant is going for 29 a game and he is only 21...he WILL lead the league in scoring next year.

McGrady lead the league in scoring during his last season with the Magics.

i don't know if they won 30 games that year.

you have to win; i know that they are headed in the super right direction, but if they can't win, i don't care what he's averaging.

Well, Durant has a team with a lot of potential, Orlando with Grant Hill out? not so much.  People wanna act like TMAC wasn't the shit or something >:(  he was a beast for awhile. 


OKL is definitely on the right track, have you watched them?   And really, Durant is only 21 so give him a bit.

T-Mac was in that Kobe-Lebron class during his (short) prime .... yeah people have a short memory

As of Durant I'm very impressed by his offensive game but not so much by the rest ....obviously he's still very young and has time to develop others part of his game but as of NOW I see him more developping like a better version of Melo than a Kobe , Bron or Wade type of player... and I don't see him staying in OK either
Title: Re: What you guys think of Durant?
Post by: Chamillitary Click on January 23, 2010, 11:54:09 AM
okay, before you guys just misconfigure everything i say.

i don't mean T-Mac wasn't one of, if not the best player in the league during those years.

it's just nobody cares how much you drop if you don't win.

Allen Iverson is my favorite player, sure fire Hall of Famer; but since he never won, he doesn't get that respect the Kobe's get.

Post by: wcsoldier on January 23, 2010, 12:19:59 PM
I agree winning has to do a lot with getting respect  but let's be honest AI and efficiency cannot be put in the same sentence ... even in his MVP year , he was shooting 42% from the field ...

and AI shouldn't get the respect Kobe gets since his carreer is nowhere near Kobe one's level regardless the number of rings ...

Lebron gets a ton of recognition even if he has not won it all yet ... it's because he's great ...

tonight, he got BLOCKED by LBJ in an attempt to tie the game-

Stll think Granger is better?  Dude is shooting 40% (Horrible)

Durant went for 45 and 10 last night on 16-21 shooting!  Youngest player eever to go for 45 and 10...
