I've thought about making a version of this post. I've been watching the NBA for 30 years, and Durant is probably the most perfect basketball player I've seen since Jordan. Not only that, he truly loves basketball - like, lives and breathes it
For some reason people don't say 'we'll never see another KD again', but I suspect he might truly be one of a kind. I think he'll become more appreciated after he retires
It’s just salt. KD committed the ultimate sin by destroying lebrons chances at ever being seen as the unanimous goat. Years later people are still salty about this or will even actively cheer on his injuries or bad plays
You're completely biased as a warriors fan. Real cousins know prime LeBron would body Jordan with size and height. LeBron is the all time scoring leader. Since everybody loves looking at rings, lebron winning that series against the warriors would say nothing to that crowd since lebron would still be one short.
Lebron has way better longevity.
Notice how kd doesn't really play a pivotal role in any of this, the warriors could've won that year without kd. That's why kd isn't seen in the same way.
Loyalty plays a big role in legacy. LeBron went back to Cleveland to get them a ring and he did without a super team of the same caliber of those warriors. Kd tried to emulate that with multiple teams but has always failed because he is not that guy that can organize the team around him for success. He's just talent that organizations have to plan around themselves. He isn't a Le GM.
It’s just salt. KD committed the ultimate sin by destroying lebrons chances at ever being seen as the consensus goat

I give him 4 appreciations. Is that enough.
I give him 2 kudos what’s the conversion from kudos to appreciation?
I have KD ahead of Kobe on the GOAT list... I think I have KD at #12 and Kobe at #13. I love watching KD, he's killing it still. I love listening to him talk about hoops, he's maybe the most insightful player to listen to breakdown the game
no
I don’t like the guy, but he is a very good ball player
“Appreciating him enough”, what is he, my wife?:D
He's not appreciated by casuals (i.e most of this sub) but I dont think that matters. He's heavily influenced a large amount of the new generation of great players coming into the league, that counts for way more than the approval of random kids and neckbeards on social media.
The fuck?
No one will ever forget he took the cowards way out and joined a 73 win team. Those rings are made of plastic.
Probly not but it’s his fault
Bro I don’t care
He is properly rated. If he goes back to back in Phoenix with two Finals MVPs we can reopen the discussion but right now dude gets plenty of love in relation to his career achievements. His only two titles were after joining a 73 win team, arguably far less of an achievement than either Giannis or Jokic solo titles.
I can’t stand the guy but he’s absolutely incredible on the court right now.
Yes, he gets (and deserves) tons of appreciation.
Everyone agrees that KD is a legend, the people that dislike him do so because they find him annoying, not because they deny his remarkable on-court prowess.
These dudes getting good use of their chatGPT sub or something. How these mf type so much about nothing?
I appreciate him less with every shit post
