Kevin Durant is the greatest scorer of all time. The handle,pull-up,mid-range,fadeaway & he’s 7’1. Dude can drop thirty without one dribble. The most skilled basketball player I’ve ever seen. Then Kobe. “Skill” not “athleticism”. Kd, &kobe could always shoot. MJ/LeBron’s game evolved.

LMAOOO AFTER ONE NIGHT THEY SHOW GOOD DEFENSE FOR ONCE DEANDRE IS THE WHOLE KEY TO THE NETS OMGGG MAX SOMETIMES I DONT WANNA BE MEAN BUT STICK TO BOXING IF YOU WANNA SAY THIS ????????

Smh. We know they will score, but the only dude stopping anyone is deandre. Kyrie and harden are trash on d, and KD, while he puts in the effort, is not a top defensive player. Max is right.

The Nets achilles heal is Health. If they stay healthy it will be hard for any team to beat them. Kyrie is missing games because he is at home trying to figure out how to prove his theory of the earth being flat. Harden misses games because some strip clubs are open all night. Durant never stays healthy. But together & healthy they are unstoppable.

Max is right, we can always count on KD, we can always count on him, but DJ has to play defense for them to make it to the finals
