The only thing i need to know about durant is that he has a 7"6" wingspan and can pull up from Thirty.
Stephen A Smith quote
Lol
Don't you mean:
FROM THUUUUUUUUURTY
And 7 feet
And that he is a marksman and a bonified superstar who can average thirty in his sleep
if KD wins a ring with the Nets i will never talk bad about him ever again
Those 2 fmvp won’t mean much but yeah hell definitely be near top 10 all time

You probably should be hesitant, or else you won't be able to handle the Highroller style.
KD's lanky ass frame was a blessing in disguise. Less strain on that heel can only be a good thing.
But the reason he got injured, was because of his freakishly long frame. If he was better built(think Giannis, Jarret Allen), he may have had a much lesser injury.
@@vtladd1168 he’s such an anomaly, you
can’t really say if adding weight would help him in this case
He looks like he actually lost some body weight. If you see his GSW time, his upper body did have some bulk. Now he seems thinner which could be a good thing reducing stress on the achilles.
@@vtladd1168 thats dumb to compare 2 players who are way younger than KD to KD , Giannis is 26 and Jarret Allen is 23 , when KD was those ages he hardly got injured , he tore his achilled at 30 going on 31 with way more miles on his legs, we’ll see how well Giannis and JA hold up
@dan bob I mean, what the fuck are you saying haha
Here's something interesting: all the players that were listed had their achilles injury on their dominant foot except for two ... Dominique Wilkins and Kevin Durant. Also Dominique altered his game after his injury before he would play close to the basket and drive a lot hence the nickname highlight reel but after his injury Dominique relied more on his shot, something that Durant already has.
Right if Nets keep playing like this they goin straight to the finals
very interesting, thanks!
👍
This is an important fact Jxmy left out of the video.

Dominique Wilkins really tore his achilles and said "aight, imma average 30 next season"
Idk if youre trying to compare KD's body to Wilts but thats not ok. My bro strained his growing his freshman year and was back to normal next year. This guy we called "Hollywood" on our team did the same his sophomore year. But he was one of the stars of the team. He still wasnt back to normal. So he got shit for it and later on tried killing himself because of it. He tried! Alot of us (especially bigger people) dont heal the same.

Kevin Durant has been looking good, let’s just hope there isn’t another re-injury.
He needs steroids like Lebron
That is honestly the thing that I’m most afraid of.
@@patrick553 roids make ur joints/tendons weaker
Due to the COVID-19 he was able to rest it longer than most
@@alstonmiller212 still it’s honestly ridiculous what he’s been doing, last game against the Celtics he popped tf off, 29 pts for an Achilles injury is absolutely ridiculous. I seriously don’t get it, the way he springs and moves doesn’t make sense, with Kobe u could see how much worse it made him, literally destroyed his explosiveness. KD is a fucking monster, I don’t even think the nets understand what’s going on, those 29 pts were only in the first 3/4 of the game, he would have dropped thirty but they benched him for fourth imo because they don’t want to overuse and create a reinjury.
Summary: Dominique Wilkins is underrated
True. I'm more interested on Wilkins after this vid. We need a follow up story focusing on him instead.
John Stockton-level underrated
@@uploadvidz4490 Stockton the most disrespected player of all time ngl
Who care??
@@JT-ph7kx This is what happens when casuals have a voice.
Dudes basically unstoppable. As long as he has his jump shot and fade away, he will be productive. He’s on a different level. That said, its amazing to see him back to peak form. Almost forgot just how great he really is.
He doesn't rely on athleticism, even though he uses it when he needs to. He's so tall and talented he can score anywhere.
the amount of joy i get from seeing a player come back better than ever after a injury in weird
As someone who tore his acl, it really makes me happy to see a player return from injury and get back on their level
@Joshua Everett As someone who has torn 3 ligaments, including the ACL while also having 2 bones sprained in the same leg in Setempber 2019 it also makes me happy. I still can't play (I play football/soccer primarily tho) because of Corona and limited options to build the leg back up
When i realized a few months ago how bad this injury was, i was like: ”kd gonna be the first player ever to return to 110%” and im a big kd fan and i never doubted it. I guess i was right
Never doubt Kevin Durant or he’ll prove you wrong 5 times over. This man is on a mission and he will deliver a championship to Brooklyn.
@@RealClutchMcGee no he won’t not this year or next At least. Lakers will 3peat if he’s still on the nets after the lakers 3peat then he can win a ring but by then he would just join the lakers lol.
@@tommyblueee9993 the Lakers are not three peating or going back to back its over for LeBron
@@RealClutchMcGeeight then 🤡🤡🤡 🤣
@@tommyblueee9993 lakers had a big chance on three peating but lebron is going to be 37 next year , i know that lebron is doing great at an old age and he still maintain his former body and athleticism , but there's alot of contenders this season , and if lakers won back to back i wouldn't be surprised , if they three peat then i'm more shock then i'm not but it's not too surprising , but you can't deny that from the east there are serious conteders like the nets bucks and the heat maybe the celtics and raptors but i don't see it , from the west there is clippers and the nuggets , just imagine if klay didn't get injured it would be a perfect season
I wonder how much of this has to do with a combination of teams shifting to fill the spot and finding cohesion while players rehab and also Returning to a find a productive replacement must take an emotional toll that has to impact play somewhat. This would be substantiated by KD being one of the best players on this list with the injury thus making it that more difficult to replace him with enough production to justify him easing in a buy more
I kinda knew since you made that "that would be a lot of work to graph out... but it would be nice to look at" joke that you watch Jxmmy
both of you make great content
fun, informative and always with nice cool graphs and jokes
thank you both
I mean kobe Elgin Baylor Patrick Ewing were all franchise players and hard to replace
I don't understand a word in this comment
Had the same thought. And also the mental aspect after missing so much time
didnt know that you was into bbal. Great content btw
Having a long off season is a life saver. It looks like it allowed him to take extra time to make a full recovery. Hope we see the old KD for the rest of his career.
It is a great pleasure to see Kevin Durant play again at such a high level. His hard work and laser focus s helped him return at an amazingly high level. I hope that Kevin stays healthy and leads the Nets to a Championship!

"Kevin Durant is back, and its a beautiful thing to see" I'm sold!!!
Sports medicine is way better than even the 90's, let alone the 70's. I'm not surprised Durant is back.
KD is a legend in the making, and even though I'm a Warriors fan, I hope to see him win a ring in Brooklyn. He deserves to be reminded as one of the greatest of all time.
I suffered an Achilles injury last season and now I’m contributing on varsity 🙏🏾All God 💯💯
Wow that's impressive. That's good
🧢
Great job 🙏🏽
Here's the thing that most people dont know. KD didn't injure his dominant leg. There is only one player on your list that injured his non-dominant leg as well. That's Dominique Wilikns, and as you said, he returned back to his old self, so I was 95% sure that KD was gonna be back as smooth as always
Yes I remember ppl pointing this out, that which injured leg matters a lot. KD's already playing so well, looks like he'll be fine!!
Also KD doesn't rely on his athleticism
I’d wait until after this season to judge his recovery. It looks great right now but we’ll see if he suffers soreness in the Achilles, etc. going forward. Sample size is just too small right now. If he does recovery fully, it may have something to do with the 18 month layoff.
Achilles injuries realistically take 1-2 years to fully recover. KD did himself a favor by taking the extra time off and now it’s going to pay off.
@@dariusrobinson7026 right, Klay needs to chill all the way in the closer to end portion of next years season! May 2022 if they are heading to make the playoffs
KD's injury is not on his main foot. That makes a big difference, as your start is still there, and you carry your main load on that foot.
Me: Hi
Jimmy: here’s a chart that shows the probability and time of each time you say hi.
Durant is now casually dropping 30-40 in playoff games and is heading to beat the bucks. UNREAL
Yo John Wall looks like he has the same speed and shit. He looks very good
@@Noncollectable really? Have u seen footage of Wall training? I know, of course he isn't the same, but he still fast af
Jon wall had like 3 years off & kd had 2. Compare that to 9 months & that's a huge difference.
@RapaRama John Wall never averaged more than 25ppg
RapaRama is not him really being worst as he still has most of his quickness and speed. It’s just more so he’s rusty from not playing nba level basketball for a while. It takes time to get comfortable on the court again.
@RapaRama john wall hasn’t played this season yet
This guy is one of the greatest to ever step on the court. Point
Eh I never took this study too seriously. 12 players is a small sample, and the study isn't really controlling for other variables like the player's age, position, the time period they were injured. Historically, Achilles injuries happen to older players with a lot of miles on them so it coincides with their natural decline due to aging making it hard to determine which factor was the main culprit for the player's decline. I suspected that KD would still be a superstar player when he returned given his age and play style, but it's still crazy he's this good already.
Plus KD has the advantage of modern medicine which makes what dominique did even crazier
Exactly. In Kobe’s case he was way past his prime when he got back
KD 32 years old
@@BarcaBilo Kobe was having an MVP type season before his injury and was a shell of himself when he returned.
He wouldn't have been as bad without the injury.
@@avf6532 there’s no difference in the “medicine” tho. The surgery has been the same for years. Unless ur talking about the rehab part
I appreciate how much this guy puts into his vids. It’s good to see people who do their research on topics rather than being lazy and copying other peoples stuff. Good job.
I really hope Durant stays healthy. His performance so far this year has been nothing short of incredible.
Kyrie’s so happy to be playing with KD.
For now...
Kyrie needed a daddy and he's just glad he found another.
At least durant will give him props when they win the chip... Lebron acted like he was the one who hit the game winning 3 against golden state. Truly pathetic. Hate Lebron so much.
@@user-si2sn5gw7b where did Lebrun say that. Show me the quote where lebron acted like kyrie didn’t help win the chip. I guarantee you won’t find a quote of him saying anything close to him winning the chip on his own. Y’all be making so many things up. And nothing with “sources” show an exact lebron quote
@@abelavich7914 that chip made me the greatest of all time > have u seen that interview? he barely talks about kyrie and makes it seem like he was david against goliath all by himself when kyrie also put fmvp type stats next to him
