Wanna know every single way to score a basketball? Watch a random KD highlight video.
When you look at this performance it was one of the most dominant ever. Everyone wants to use his move to discredit it. But he absolutely dominated this series. Honestly cavs would’ve went back to back if it wasn’t for KD
Exactly, KD and OKC most likely wouldn’t have stood a chance against the cavs let alone the warriors or spurs. This man knew his only chance was to join the warriors
Mans was literally getting so many open looks because his man was leaving him and going with Steph
Give any other scorer as many open looks as he had and they go nuts too 💀
@@longlivetheblackmamba2-8-24 🤦♂️
Yeah bro, he averaged over 35 points, 8,2 rebounds, 5,4 assists and 1,6 blocks on 50/40/90 efficiensy, to average 50/40/90 in finals it is insanee. He averaged 55% from the field, 47% from three point line amd 93% from the free trow line. Honestly, without the fact that he played for Golden State, one of the greatest teams of all time amd yeah, maybe it is easy to average those numbers whrn your whole team is just incredible, again this numbers are out of this world and for me Durant is definitely one of a kind because even Jordan was never soo efficient in his best finals like KD now, one of the greatest finals performances ever.
for the love of god someone buy the ballhog gloves
You're a funny guy!!!!!!
Lol
Yoooo !! 😂😂😂😂
Lmao💀💀
Lmfaoo
*KD was on a different level in the 2017 NBA Finals!*
KD was Unstoppable on that 3 Year run. This cemented his Legacy. 🏆🏆
His shots have become so much easier as opposed to his okc days
That's what happens if you have 2 of the greatest shooters of all time on the floor. Everything just opens up for you. Don't have to force Isos and just catch, shoot, run the floor, finish. ez
KD 2016 WCF:
27.9PPG, 53.9%TS (below league avg)
KD 2017 Finals:
35.2PPG, 69.8%TS (well above league avg)
but yeah, apparently he didn’t need GS to score easily... 💀
@@SerialRageKiller he didnt average 27.9ppg he averaged 30ppg.
2015-16 regular season: 28.2PPG on .634TS%
2016-17 regular season: 25.1PPG on .651TS%
2013-14 regular season: 32.0PPG on .635TS%
who said he needed golden state to score easily?
@@SerialRageKiller Take a look at his stats in Brooklin
@@Money30Green regular season is irrelevant. He needed Golden state in the playoffs
So is everyone going to finally admit kevin durant was the best player in the nba in 2017 and 2018....even 2019.....
Fax
17. LBJ & KD Tie 18. LBJ 19. Kawhi
2020 and 2021
U sound dumb
No. He just joined a 73 win team. He was still second best.
This guy Kd cooked LeBron in the Finals for two straight years & no one dares to speak on it. The media & LeBron are in a long term relationship.
Probably because he did it with the team that smoked him the year before. He had a 3-1 lead and shot terribly the last 3 games and now he puffs out his chest like he's doing something crazy
@@christopherwetherspoon5844 yeah but lebron got outplayed by durant himself
@@christopherwetherspoon5844 Lets not pretend KD didn't say he went there because yall said it was ok LeBron could got to Miami, LeBron fans are thee only fans that argue that point and try move the bar so its only ok for Bron
@@mkg5048 keep saying facts my G 💯😂
@OfficialJay3000- and kd finna give it to Lebron again once they meet up again.
Kevin durant is the most powerfull offensive weapon game of basketball has ever seen.better than jordan,kareem,kobe,lbj..he toys with lebron,makes it look easy against one of the best players ever.there's no weakness in his offensive repertoire.it's ridiculous how good durant is.never seen a player like him
He’s probably the best offensive player of all time but it’s hard to take that over Jordan but you right . Kd makes it look sooo easy .
The shit people say.
So jordan & Kobe can put up more points
More big games
40s
50s
60s+
with constant doubles within a triangle
But Durant who’s produced less is better because you saw what 1 on 1 vs an overrated defender
Then Richard Jefferson & Korver on him
And legendary shooters to kick out to looks like
Go back and see what jordan and Kobe did again you need to brush up
I can’t lie. Looking back at this now. Kd legit went off.
And I'm not even a warriors fan I'm a cavaliers fan and to be honest Kevin durant played well this year in the playoffs he deserved it
1:11 Durant embarrassed Lebron and no one talked about it because ESPN and the rest of sports media protects him constantly
Caleb Irvin facts
@Brandon Menifee lets be honest there was obviously a wet spot
@Brandon Menifee thats is true but KD cant hold Lebron either
@Brandon Menifee that is true but it was also because the warriors had a much smarter system against Lebron than the cavs did against Kd bc we all know they cant guard each other 1v1
@Rob L 1:29 I guess this was a wet spot too?
Durant got so many dunks against Cleveland's terrible defense.
Sasuke Uchiha kawhi wasn’t on nothing it’s was one game 😂😂😂😂
Sasuke Uchiha true. The cavs coach should’ve been fired after this finals.
He was wide open because the defense was focused on someone else.....
Terrible defense due to Curry's gravity
@@johnrenzoliveros3528 or bad transition defense
i hated the KD move but i can’t lie this might’ve been the most dominant performance in a finals of our generation
he did all this on 50/40/90 shootin %
KD still owns Lebrun in the finals don't care what anyone says he demolished him back to back years that's the ghost he's chasing not Jordans hahaha LB always needs help that's all he'll be known for as far as greatness goes.
Lebron needs help but KD on the Warriors 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@Millennium00 Lebron literally needed Davis to help buy his newest ring he doesn’t win a ring without him in the bubble.
@@charlestonw801st Outside of Davis and Rondo everyone on that team was average KD needed a MVP the greatest shooting back court of all time a DPOY and a FMVP just to beat Bron and let’s not forget Bron came back 3-1 against the same team Durant choked to please don’t put KD and Bron in the same sentence KD is no where in Bron’s stratosphere I love KD’s game definitely the most fun player to watch which is why I’m here but as a player he never has and never will be better than Bron all time or currently 😂😂😂😂😂😂
You idiots and your "He NeeD HeLP" bs, Jordan never won until Pippen and KD need the Warriors to win his, shut up.
Yall should be saying the WARRIORS defeated lebron and the cavs back to back. In 2012 we all knew how that finals went against the tunder and heat. No hate on KD but he needed steph and klay to beat lebron. But KD did do his job when he got on the warriors
Jesus Christ this is my first time watching these Durant highlights in the 2017 finals and I always watch LeBron 2017 finals performance almost every couple of months and this guy Duran just straight up cooked the hell out of him oh my goodness I can't believe that this guy wasn't talked about there in 2017 finals
You must not remember correctly cuz everybody knew KD was cookin’! LeBron was on an epic run as well. We’re lucky to have witnessed the best 🏀 player ever we needed everything from KD to win those 2 finals.
He cooked him cause of all the attention Steph and klay drew not to discredit him but anyone with any sense of understanding could see it
@@nassiromar exactly dude was getting wide open threes he didn’t cook lebron lebron led again in every stat on his team almost averaging a triple double they were negative when lebron took a break this was KD only hope of Winning a championship because the warriors were not beating lebron and kyrie against after 2016
@@nassiromar bruh kd hit so many contested shots and was historically efficient
@@frenchysoupfacts
His game is so exciting to watch he makes it look so easy
I still don’t think we’re ever gonna see somebody get this deep into their bag in the finals like KD did. Mans was hitting EVERY shot he wanted
KD is the best player in the NBA!!!
Lol
Was that before or after he joined Golden State 😂
Deans Kingdom both
Agreed
Still facts today 💪🏾💯
One of the smoothest scorers to ever lace 'em up.
The best scorer ... the only thing which can stop him is the foul
Mj is the best scorer
The biggest mj fan Skip Bayless even said KD is better scorer than MJ
@@Phoenix-yc4ry he’s the best all around scorer but iso ball it’s Kevin and even mj would say that
@@igethighhighhigh They both don't play iso ball much either. The best scorers knows how to stay open for opportunities to score. Kobe, LeBron, and Kyrie forces their shot iso all the time when they see fit but Michael and Durant calculates when to shot a mid-range shot, drive, or pass to an open teammate every time off the catch. Now they both are unstoppable with the post-up iso game when ever the defense wants to lock them so in this matter, Michael had way to many moves and Durant is just too tall just posting people up. Other than that they don't force iso ball, they'll torch you when they have no other choice.
@@criticalcerebral true definitely love your knowledge of the game my g
12-1 Cavs vs the 12-0 Warriors before any hater says anything. Media members everywhere said this series was going to 7 games and many picked LeBron to come out that 7 game series. Then it changed to the Warriors are "Unbeatable" and greatest team ever when they gave the Cavs a basic "Gentleman Sweep".
Not true. Only the lebron fans said it would be a tough series. Everyone else predicted a 5 game series or a sweep.
@E 20 you can ramble on about whatever useless semantics you keep spewing, but everyone except bron fans said the warriors would dominate the series.
@@nbastalgiacritic1751 naw it was said it was going 7 games . That cavs team was arguably the hottest team up to that point . They DOMINATED the East that year . I remember you can go watch a lot of sports shows it was said it’s going 7 games
@@Darieennn anyone with common sense knew golden state was going to win easily. Lebron is great but this team was the greatest team ever
@@tiktokexposed898 go look at the sports shoes before that finals , you’ll see what I’m tb
Before anybody disrespects kd’s rings they should have to come back to this video first. Prime example of high level hoops
Can't lie, although I dislike KD, I still enjoy him shooting. I love watching him shoot. The form? Beauty!!!
KD 🏆
Durant would have 3 or 4 rings by now if he didn’t play with Westbrook who was a ball hog down the stretch in playoff games let’s be honest
Nonsense. So Westbrook, an mvp, was the reason kd lost? Can’t stand kd fans sometimes...
@@nbastalgiacritic1751 nah it's because Westbrook wanted to be the best on the team and play that way, but the thing is he wasn't the best player on that team.
As the best player on the team he should’ve kept Westbrook in check
The defense being played by lebron is just embarrassing he didn’t want any part of kd lol but that’s the worlds Goat lol
Facts 💯 Kd proved he’s better than LeBron
And Lebron avoided kd completely in the 2018 finals 😂 he sent Jr Smith ass out there to guard him.
@@Ali-on8dc Lebron dropped 51 8 & 8 on him in that 2018 finals, and in this 2017 finals Lebron averaged 33, 12 & 10. The only difference is that Lebron doesn’t have a 73-9 team without him even having to be there.
@@peterburke274 people are so stupid😂 mfs act like KD was better than Lebron these dudes linked up to take out lebron💯 if U swap KD and bron in this series they woulda got swept in 3 games
@@bigcity3865 if you swap out kd for Bron, Bron would have about 8 rings by now honestly
Kevin durant is a beast! One of the best in game
Awesome moves by KD ✌🏼✌🏼
nobody can stop kd
chris kelley// westbrook? haha
love kd35 your joking right?
Kawhi Leonard from the Spurs was until he got injured lmao
Ther is one who can stop kd. And that is himself too hahaha
@@deanskingdom8654 lol no
I still cant believe we got KD
Nets op
great edits bro 🔥 exactly what I was looking for
85% of these highlights KD is just shatting directly in LeBrons mouth
He’s just making LeBron feel, how he did when he went up against Miami in the Finals.. he’s realized the only way to win now, is absolute and overwhelming force.
He did that and still not even close to being better than Lebron 🤣 I never once heard anybody compare kd to Jordan …only king James
This is an entirely different situation. KD joined an already well-established team, one that had become a dynasty prior to his arrival, the greatest regular season team of all time.
Not even close russ was dropping 44 vs Miami.
KD worked on his game so hard that he makes it looked like butter! Give him credit for how hard he worked on his game.
Omg! Kd, is one of a kind, he is a spectacular & talented basketball player! He has a unbelievable game it is epic & 🔥 🔥 my dude the greatest player right now!!!!
I love this man ☺️☺️
if people understood and paid attention to the details, his injury robbed him of how explosive and how he plays the game now. he plays more cautious now! with that being said KEVIN DURANT IS THE GREATEST PLAYER IN NBA HISTORY 🐐
perfect team for durant.. his skills are used effectively.
Has anyone seen stats on how long he possesses the ball per game? it must be freakishly short. I'd be surprised if he possesses the ball 5 minutes per game.
@Shay Butta I remember that game he had a career high (50 something) ironically against GSW a few years before he joined them, I think it was his MVP year. In that game I think they said he physically possessed the ball like 5-6 minutes. So much of it was just catch and shoot and 2-3 dribbles and shoot.
The screens the cuts the movement the passing the defense the offense = total domination
Gd highlights the goat the clips on point going clip to clip the crossfade in n out
Kd was absolutely killing the cavs. No way the ‘96 bulls could stop him. He alone would average 40 on pippen, and I’ve seen the bulls
If kd averages 40,Jordan is averaging 50
@@kycoke1695you ain lyin
Durant a beast yo! Dude unstoppable
dangggg i miss this energy at games
KD is just scary good.
The crowd is so hype!
🐐
I thought LeBron was the GOAT?? KD murked him!!! LMAO!!!
Lebron was jaying in his face tho
@@jordanmac9048 kd banged every shot in his eyes tho
KD ran to the team that beat him with the best record of all time that were already champs, being a top 2 or 3 player already, Not Impressive, KD himself couldn't sleep at night knowing that so he went to the Nets
Masco 24 that ^and he wanted to play with kyrie
Lol give LeBron the top two greatest shooters of all time and see what happens 😂
Kd is savage he's top 20 of all time
IDC if his move was weak or not but this could have been another great and tied series between Cleveland and GS in the finals and maybe another ring for Cleveland ( my theory if he didn't joined GS)
So much space to shoot and cut. Now KD is a Nets i want to see him play against a double team ,no spacing, no 2 greatest splashers to support.
He was doing that his whole career in OKC i guess you weren't paying attention you casual
Get out of your feelings mans he’s gonna be fine
@Brandon Menifee kd is also member of 50 40 90 club wherin curry is also a member...both them are ther..
Typical lemming.. he was doing this since college fool.. go back to sleep sheep
Kd in a system is scarrryyy
The best player in the NBA 👏👏👏💋
My personal dream team:
Magic Johnson
Larry Bird
Charles Barkley
Kevin Durant
Hakeem Olajuwan
I’m a full blown bron supporter but finals kd was just something different
I did do a lot of these things... lol. I wonder what ever happened to my jump shot. Lol.
KD X 🐐
Meanwhile Coach Godwin's ball hog gloves are still at the beginning of every video
KD Domination
🔥🐐🏆
3:26 double dribble?
This is honestly Karma for Lebron destroying KD in 2012 with his superteam Heat. Lebron of all people can't call this a weak move cause he also teamed up with a top 5 player in Wade and a top 10 player in Bosh.
My migga kd be balling yall
The ball still had to drop the guy is a monster. Too bad the association made the Dubs play soft and lose the title last year. Durant would have stayed in Oklahoma and some mad off season moves would've been made. The Thunder would be in the chip this year. All too obvious, especially after game 4 of these Finals.
Watching his brutal performance vs the Celtics, this 2017 KD how many open buckets had. Steph fooled everybody thinking KD carried the warriors lmao
BIG3 highlights comin?
It pained me to watch this 'cause I'm a LeBron fan and I was angered by KD's decision, but it's always fun watching him school dudes.
Bron was getting cooked by Kd I see these delusional people who ignoring that 😂 KD was the reason warriors won .
Hard to watch this as a Lebron fan, but goddamn what a scorer. Overal Lebron slightly better but KD real close
Prime kd different than young kd so it's pre close call
Had bron playing slip N Slide 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
No music?
Here after draymond and KD debate. Steph is definitely getting denied the ball the whole game by 2. Can’t believe KD was getting so many 1 on 1s. Draymond kno his stuff
He really woke up and decided to choose violence😂
No answer for dude
5:37 durant went backcourt #TerribleNoCall
This shit looks so unfair like 2k my career unfair 😭
Kevin Durant is a Scoring Monster but that was a weak ass championship win he didn’t earn it he took the easy way out and Lebron defeated Golden State when KD couldn’t KD is obviously the better scorer but Lebrons all around game and leadership is why he’s better than KD
@Swish Dipper plus when OKC lost 3-1 they lost to the fully intact warriors. Lebron took down the warriors after Draymond was suspended Bogut got injured ther league fouled steph out in game 6 Iggy hurt his back and steph wasn't 100 people try to forget those facts
there is no way Lebrons move compares to KDs move there are so many differences. And yea there were injuries for the warriors in 16 but the cavs had that in 2015 so its even
Golden State Warriors gave Cleveland the Business! ❤❤❤
Now The New Fake Narrative is Durant wasnt the Best Player on the Warriors…When He Had 2 Legendary Finals
I wish KD would’ve stayed.
Imagine playing in a system where they can’t double you or send help your way
And all he had to do was just finish it out in game 5 or 6 in OKC but he shot 12/31 and 9-23. Love Durant but you can't pretend like having GS didn't push him over the edge for winning. Watch what he does this year when he has to play with kyrie
@Gloria Smalls excuses he shot 8-23 in game 6 and he blew the lead. He's a great player nonetheless but not better than lebron. Steph curry outplayed him in 2016
KD won't ever be a better overall player than lebron. He joined the team that beat him. Lebron didn't
@Gloria Smalls and lebron has more rings and MVPs than him
@Gloria Smalls still
Made it to 10 overall. 🐐
Why wasn't LeBron taking the challenge of guarding KD? Poor JR and RJ lol
That would be an insane workload dude.
If u watch u see the defense is focused on curry lol all Durant baskets are easy
Yeah when he goes to nets he was always doubled teamed by Celtics. 🤣
kd made hella contested shots
Lebron looked like an absolute scrub trying to guard him
😂😂😂 now look at ad
@@gmailgmail6234yeah look at kd who has tore his Achilles and still is putting up 29 a game so what’s your point?
Cavs struggle in this series
Curry was getting double teamed some possessions
He made this shit look so easy😭😭
lebron overrated when he faces someone like KD and Kawhi
So nobody saw klay get dropped of a step back 2:31
No everybody saw him clearly step on Zaza’s shoe lol
He ignores Bill Russell while catcing te mvp trophy.
This was the week that Kevin Durant stole best player in the world from LeBron and he has yet to give it back to him
Durant has never been better than Lebron lmao
KD had wide open shots and the defense was focused on Steph Curry. Not difficult or impressive AT ALL
Why can't I like Kd and Lebron? Yes I do think Lebron is better but that's not to knock Kd, that's like me saying a tiger is superior to a lion but I love them both
