@YANGS1K@BBallGround And that’s just a terrible take if you think Kevin is just a spot up Shooter right now he is the greatest scorer of all time arguably and the most efficient. you ain’t making second team all NBA as spot up Shooter. He has one of the most extensive bags in the NBA . So many moves
@YANGS1K@BBallGround . Below straight from https://t.co/ygGRFVZnIu.
One particularly impressive number: opponents shot just 42.2% on shots Durant defended, which the Rockets noted was 4th-best among players who defended more than 10 shots per game
@YANGS1K@BBallGround I’m sorry Seth but you don’t know ball . KD was a great defender last year who held his opponents field-goal percentage to below league average. Also, he was second team all NBA as a 37-year-old ,think that through , you don’t know Ball , learn.
I remember asking assistant coach Mo Cheeks, what’s harder to do? Workout after practice or before?? I only asked cuz by time I would get to the gym, Russ was already done in the morning and I usually got mine in after practice. Mo like, “coming in before practice is probably harder”…since then, it’s been my routine….a lot of people looked at the emotions on the court and thought Russ was loud, nah to me, he was quiet and methodical. He lead by example and once the lights were bright, he let everything out and experienced pure freedom. It was inspiring as his teammate and everywhere I went, I seen it inspire people from all walks of life, crazy thing is, he didn’t say much, he just showed up. For 18 years. This basketball life is sacred to us as professionals, what we put into that court means everything. Some of us wish we could go back and do things with a little more intent and some can just wipe their hands and be satisfied with the time spent. Who u gonna be? We know what zero was on…keep inspiring in the next phase of life champ. I don’t care what happens, can’t erase what it was…The first YNs, finals run in our early 20s, all star games, seeing each other get injured and bounce back, the bus rides, plane rides, card games, jokes and arguments, the whole thing, memorable!! …to the whole Westbrook family, Nina, the kids, mama Westbrook, big Russ, Ray, Donnell, everybody from luezinger high and ucla and many more that I’m forgettin, much love and Congratulations on a iconic career.
Kevin Durant played on a bad knee and a sprained ankle, played 78 games, and logged the 2nd most minutes in the NBA. Got zero help from his teammates, but watch he’ll get all the blame if the Rockets lose this series.
