KD has been 🔥 since day 1... can’t wait to see him healthy again... savage on the court and burner accounts
Yeah but he joined GSW man ... that made it so much less heroic
Durant will never be better then he was, he has peaked, its downhill from here he spent his best games in OKC and GSW, he’ll still be a star, just never better then he was.
Nick Hardrock thats cool and all but the journey will not be as respected
@@mf2143 guy the NBA is literally built by dynastys and the great players in those dynasty. What type of dude gets emotional about a grown man's decision. KD left Westbrook a PG who doesn't know how to win and thinks he's a #1 and that's why his ass requested to get traded to Houston. KD joined a GSW team lead by Curry who knows starts want and can actually play with. People like you ruin basketball. "KD joined the warriors he's a bitch" gtfoh with your emotional miserable self
MF214 i swear it’s just kids who say this shit lol were you even born around that time?
"I still haven't figured out how to guard him"
- Kobe Bryant
David Miller lmao he didn’t. I feel bad for you if you feel the need to hate on everything
@@juliuszgodek6514 Agreed! Its unbelievable that the man died a few months ago, and people still have such hatred in their heart to talk about his imperfections. No one is perfect. Kobe brought so much to this world and made an impact on alot of people lives.
Arguably the best scorer and best skilled player of all time, trying to figure out how to guard arguably the best scorer and best skilled player of all time 😂 Kobe and KD are and were a different breed
David Miller Lowe some weight before talking about Kobe u bum
@@juliuszgodek6514 love kobe and may he RIP but he totally cheated on his wife with that girl in Colorado, theres no doubt about that. He bought his wife a million something ring as a apology lol. I dont think he raped her (unlike Derrick Rose) but he definitely slept with her.
When you're so early no one's talked about jimmy's charts yet or petitioned for trap sax again

I opened up comments and saw this literally as he was saying those exact words and it tripped me out big time.
@@neveahphillips5610 So Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Kareem, Magic Johnson, Bill Russel, and Wilt Chamberlain don’t exist now?
This makes me miss Okc KD. When he was one of the most beloved athletes.
still is but not my the soft fans.
@@colbushi Facts soft people imposing their own ideas of greatness on another man. How tf are grown men sitting here bashing the best scorer ever about leaving a place he could not win at. He tried hard to win at OKC, but the teams were just not right, bad luck with injuries happened and it just did not work out. You cant blame KD at all either, he showed up, EVERY season, won multiple scoring titles, played great defense, made PLENTY big-time clutch shots, he literally did EVERYTHING he could to win but he just did not have the better overall team. People are salty for no reason. Just respect this man for his greatness
Only salty okc fans ain't giving him love.
@Nintariz They do, just because they are a fan of certain player. People who enjoy basketball enjoy any player and his abilities. I'm a Jordan guy, but KD is unguardable no matter in what team he is on. This video is prove, he played with Melo and Kobe which are the type of players that hugged the ball (not saying is bad) and still score a lot of points with great FG%, which is something we saw of him in both championships game 3 and 4 with Curry and Thompson. The consistency of KD is pretty much similar to the one of Jordan, and no one else comes close. I still give the edge to Jordan just because of his maturity to play the game.
@@caccac2412 that's not true, you and the entire nba fanbase was on his ass back when he went to gs. Don't act like you weren't

Marcus Johnson congrats Marcus you have become a famous UA-cam commenter, u even became a meme in flights genius interview reaction comments.
Now look at him, playing like he never injured his achilles, almost at an MVP level, with the last 4 games averaging over 34 with +55% on FG and +50% on 3PT. Unfuckwithable, of the greatest scorers of all time.
Literally was thinking the same . Actually averaging 31 right now this season and he is my mvp if you ask me hands down and comeback player of the year !
insane lol he came back looking better than he was when he left. cant name many who have
@@evanbabb1839 you know who he is right? He's Kevin Durant
@Edwin Younes Never said he was the greatest, but he is one of the greatest. And statistically the greatest is Kareem, also Kobe and MJ are above Wilt.
@Edwin Younes more consistent is better lmao, scoring 50 on 40% is better than scoring 100 on 25-30%
By the time KD retires he'll be 7'7"
@Dhalo Dro manute bol? He existed George mursen
Nah he done he not gonna grow no more
hahaha
@@opfreak Yeah jokes, but not a good one lol.
Jimmy you nailed. As I live in Austin I got to see KD as a freshman. The most effortless scorer I have ever seen. I used to watch Chamberlain so I bring some perspective. KD is almost unwieldy. I am overjoyed to see his rehab has not stolen one bit of hid catlike quickness and Supreme skills.
KD be lighting them up before being drafted and the Blazers still took Gregg
Ever heard the story of why the Portland Trailblazers' drafted Sam Bowie 2nd overall in 1984 over Michael Jordan?

@@ryry6319 dwight howard going 8-8 or whatever it was off of what was probably mostly dunks and put backs is hardly that impressive.
Such a shame that KD couldn't play this season. I was hyped to see him play with kyrie.

Relax they both have long term contracts
That’s good more time to heal
That team was never winning shit
@@earlrainey9088 and? kd can play both..about LEBRONBASKETBAL?
That feeling when you're competing and realize you're on the same level and good enough or better is refreshing. You look up to those better for so long sometimes it's hard to realize you're just as good at first.
KD is the best pure scorer I’ve ever seen play the game. He’s so smooth in everything he does
The only 7 footer that didn't try to take the easy route to scoring, unfortunately he took the easy route to titles
I think he’s tied with TMAC because TMAC had better handle, speed and quickness

He’s taller than Tim Duncan
Lol. How can you correct someone's joke and call them an idiot tho?..plot twist: grew shorter, strunk; neither is possible for a human so I'm sure that was meant to be funny 🤷🏾
I remember this game. This is THE game that showed me KD was gonna be something special in the NBA. I knew he was something else at Texas but this game showed me he at least was gonna be on Kobe's level , hopefully he stays healthy and continues to be that rare talent.
Greg Oden: Ight imma go first
look right here 🤣🤣
If no injuries happened Greg could've been good, but i think Portland picked Greg just because he was a center and stronger than KD. Deep down they knew KD was better.
In the context of the 2007-08 Blazers team, they really in need for a center. They had Channing Frye, Raef LaFrentz, and Joel Przybilla in their depth chart 😷😷
Yeah true, but greg oden would’ve been a superstar if it wasnt for the injuries
Greg Oden could have been a superstar if not without his injuries he could be one best players in today's league.
When ur so early kevin durant hasnt even been drafted yet
KD is ridiculous. Can't deny his talent at his insane size.
I’m not too impressed by a guy 6’11” playing like he’s 6’5”
KD is amazing.
@@Fakename70 You know KD is like a rare 7 Footer that should be a defense guy but shoots like a SG its very rare so see like KD is.
@@Fakename70 I can tell your short just by this comment, when your tall you have way less coordination and speed and sometimes even worse accuracy, so KD managing to do all that with his size is insane

Major relate
By this time you probably know more about this sport than most basketball fans
Watched over 50 and not a fan... seems like someone is in denial.. lol. It's ok.. where all basketball 🏀 fans.. join us.. (in my evil laugh)
I dont really mind the drama and shenanigans going around him, he's one of my favourite player, he's just so fun to watch.
I loved it when he took over in the Finals , I was screaming of joy
i can’t even lie, despite everything tarnishing KD’s name, watching him play is just so satisfying, the man is so smooth, the only word that comes to mind for me is wavey, he just flows with the game. So amazing to watch.
It’s a damn shame this man gets clowned on these days for being “soft” and a “snake”. Dude is still a monster on the court, even when he came off a torn Achilles, which is normally a career ender in the NBA. As much as it sucks that he left OKC (I mean, I’m literally a fan of Basketball and the Thunder just because of KD and Russ), I’m happy for him. Dudes got 2 rings and is considered one of, if not the best in the league.
I think he's very talented and when It watch him play I feel the love he has for basketball
Its sad but his rings will forever be tainted

Teresamae Alvis I’m NOT THE LIGHTSKIN MARCUS JOHNSON Should have never Choose that name😭😭😭😭😭😭
Danny Granger i appreciate
KD been raw. Still can’t believe Portland took Oden over him.
I mean to be fair back then was more center oriented like you needed a dominant big to win still a bad selection bur I get what they were thinkin... Plus its not like anyone else thought oden was gonna be a bad pick
Plus they had brandon roy pre injury so they woulda made an unstoppable 1.2 punch
Oden got injured 🤕
They had brandon roy no? That's a redundancy.
"the man was 176 years old!!!"
The guy at the My-T-Sharp
Edit: that's the barber shop in Coming to America
The fact this guy scored 22 points on Lebron and others when he was the same age as me is so sad and amazing at the same time
You didn't win the genetic Olympics
It’s cause Lebron is a bad defender
Kevin Durant will always be my #1 Favourite NBA Player, a silent assassin on the court

Some may say KD is a snake, but he is an incredibly gifted athlete, and I can’t wait to see him play next season.
He’s not going to be the same when he comes back, Achilles injuries are so hard to recover from
You may not like KD as a player for being a snake you can damn sure respect him as a athlete and for his basketball skills

Idk man, seems kinda PORTLAND to me.
MJ Said in an interview in 2009 “ KD is coming in from the back door as the greatest current player” he mentioned that scorning title and maybe he’ll caught up to MJ’s ten.
That was in 2013 bro. It was when MJ asked who was better Kobe or LeBron and he said 5 is better than 1
Dennis Rodman went from 5'8 to 6'7 in one year. This happened over the summer when he graduated high school.
I really hope this man can win a finals mvp this year, he’s playing like he could and his team is good enough. As much as people hate this guy, he is the most effective, versatile and arguably the best scorer of all time. An fmvp after an Achilles tear should solidify him as that guy and a top 10 player of all time
This didn't age well
this really didnt age well
warriors won in 6
Drinking game: take a shot every time KD scores in this video
Are you paying our medical bills?
Bruh
They also took a center over MJ
I’m drunk as fuck
I had exactly 29 shots
He was putting the NBA on notice and letting everyone in the league know that he was coming and that nobody culd stop him and he was right on point til this day
1:35 u didn’t have to do atlanta like that😭🤣
They did do have the best record in the league in '15 tho
😂😂😂
@Willie Gordon I can see where your confusion came from, but they didn't get swept by Miami, it was Cavs.
Also, they were the 1 seed, no? Therefore they have not been bottom of the league for all those years.
KD was the main reason the US won the gold medal that the 2020 Olympics. I have a lot more respect for him now. He could have taken the summer off but chose to play for Team USA.
I knew from the start that he will be a Great Player. It's rare for a player that tall to have good handles and great shooting skills.
This guy is awesome, even this season, ive seen 2 Brooklyn games and makes everything so easy
Its actually hilarious to hear any 6'10-7' lengthy quick shooter being sold as "new Kevin Durant"
Thank you dude! This new, almost archetype, has got scouts going crazy. They think it’s easy to dominate in the nba if you’ve just got a shot and you’re tall. You can see that with all the hype Chet holmgren is getting (he’s good, just needs a LOT of work before he’s even nba ready, let alone dominating).
I remember watching KD in college at Texas and thought, "this dude is a tall ass shooter that can dribble and drive." Every time people today that want to compare other players in high school and college who can't even shoot to KD, it always has me laughing.
There been guys with 6'10 height that can shoot the difference is he can put the ball on the floor ppl forget about Rashard lewis, Hedo Turkoglu, toni kukoc and rasheed wallace to name a few.
Can we all give this man Jimmy a slow clap for blessing us with frequent uploads
Nope
IT FEELS GOOD BEING THIS EARLY ON A GOATED VID.
And now he's the all time best player of Team USA
Who else waiting for Flights reaction?😂
Me lol
He goin upload it tmrw
Imma Still Watch the Original Video cause Jimmy the goat

why you lie it’s july
I was talking with a friend about the 96 Bulls vs the 2016 Warriors. I just thought it would be funny to see the Bulls reaction if you showed them KD and Steph's scouting report. They'd think it was a joke bc there were never any players like them.
Have you ever heard of Tony kukco.
@@davidgivins4203 Toni can't guard kd tho kd would have way better chance of stopping Toni tho. Toni was nice tho don't get me wrong
@@lhp045 it would be interesting as Toni has the advantage on Durant being a lefty and good!
@@davidgivins4203 Kukoc couldn't guard Durant man. They'd probably end up putting Rodman on him if not Scottie. They'd give up the height but were much, much better defenders than Kukoc. I'd expect Rodman, he was very strong, very fast, and not short at 6'9" (Durant's pretend height). Durant would definitely still get his points, but I'd say Rodman would aggravate him into a poorer percentage and probably a few extra turnovers.
Numbers lie as your new to basketball with a few Stephen and Durant comb existed in the past that were better! Old school won again against New school!
I have absolutely no idea how such an obvious talent like Durant was cut from the 2008 USA Mens Olympic BB team. Michael Redd or Tayshaun Prince over KD? Seriously???? Why cut somebody who can score from literally anywhere on the floor? In 2021, Team USA would have been clobbered had KD not stepped up and put the team on his back. Everybody apart from Portland TB management knew this man was the next big thing since Lebron.
KD the best 7footer in the game😂

You’re all dreaming if you think he’s ever going to play at that level again. Remember, he won’t have Curry, Thompson, Green, nor Kerr in Brooklyn. Only Irving, also coming off an injury.

I think he has a disorder lol
😂 😂 😂 😂
“Limited opportunities” plays 3rd most minutes on the team lol
Jeff vee yeah he was supposed to have that but he was so good
once he enters the court, the coach won't send him out anymore.. if he was in the starter, he may play longer than anyone else
He played joint 6th
When youre that hot the coach is always gonna be reluctant to take you out.
I think limited opportunities meant that there were other scorers like him that had the ball alot
I’m a hawks fan I’ll never forget when KD hit that game winner against us his Rookie season in double OT I knew he was going to be a problem
You actually have a point 😂😂Kevin has been on fire 3quarters ago I mean to think that they were just giving him a shot to play amongst the great..... He made it look like he has been in the league with them this whole time🔥🔥🙌🙌🙌🙌
The most elite scorer this game has ever seen
KD is the next GOAT!!! Hope he stays healthy and win more chips!!! One of my favorite players!!!
KD was 6’10” outta college… that cat been out the bag. That’s why he lied about it. Nevertheless, he is a generational talent!
Edit: LeBron was 6-8, 6-9, and you can clearly see Durant is taller than LB
Kevin Durant makes it happens so EASILY anywhere, anytime day or night!! NBA'S Fire Scorer yep!!
When I saw KD at Texas in 06. I knew I was watching the best player to live.
Durant is a basketball freak of nature. He's damn near unstoppable!
KD gonna be one of the greats!
Honestly when I saw Durant play against team USA back in 2007 I had him at least 6'11". But the way he was playing against them was unbelievable
You could tell they weren’t pressing him on defense. He is a beast now.
When its so early in his career commentators were calling him Kevin Durant instead of KD 😂
@LaRue Mathis What commentator calls KD by his full name in game though bro? 😂
yeah they still call him kevin durant or durant in game, commentators usually don't use nicknames lol. but yeah really everyone off the court calls him kd

Imagine drafting Greg Oden over KD...
Bro it’s easy to talk with the Monday newspaper. Oden was going first anyway because in that era teams searched for big men super strong and powerful, like when Hakeem was drafted before MJ, even the Bulls owner said that if he had the first pick he would have taken Hakeem instead of MJ, because teams till Curry 3p era searched for C or PF big man than can dominate. Search all accolades and you will see that the position that has the moust MVPs is C because historically they dominated till Curry 3p era super fast paced games. Now a days a slow C that can shoot and guard permimeter can survive.
Imagine thinking that oden didn’t deserve to get first overall, oden was a lot better then kd until he got injured a lot.
Easy to say in hindsight
Oden got injured
Oden was a solid player injuries just limited him
1:20 "in 2070" lol
Anyone else catch that Dwight Howard had 21 points in 25 minutes on *100%* shooting?!!!
They were probably all within 6 feet of the basket but still…
I had the luxury of picking up some late night Texas basketball games back in the day I use to live watching durant being so skinny tall and the way he could shoot was unbelievable
He’s already in my top 10 best basketball players ever.

@@jacquesl9972 no in terms of accomplishments,because he had russel westbrick for 7 years but in terms of what he is,a 7 footer who can handle the ball like a guard,who has no flaw in his offensive game and the last years he is been an exceptional defender,he is ahead of kobe,duncan and other greats who had flaws in their games...
@@ivantheterrible4317 You're going to place KD over Tim Duncan in terms of individual talent? KD has a high dribble (mainly due to his height), stops running off-ball if he's not the main center of the play, and is a terrible leader. Also funny how you say Westbrick when Durant couldn't get passed the Grizzlies in '13 without Westbrook, and Westbrook was a major reason why they even had a 3-1 lead over the Warriors.
@@jacquesl9972 durant had a bad series against Memphis,when okc lead 3-1 against gsw westbrook played equal or better but durant was already out!if he had wade as a teammate from 2007 when he was drafted he would become a leader from early on,his biggest mistake is that he left okc too late.ofcourse he is more talented than duncan ever was,thats my opinion!!
Glad he was able to make it on such an exclusive list

So my man was kicking Lebron's ass even before the Nba? Crazy lmao
Kevin Durant is a fantastic player. He’s got style, and can hit from absolutely anywhere on the court, BUT nobody I mean NOBODY makes it look as graceful and or effortless to score. It doesn’t matter if it’s a dunk, or a 3 spot, or a turn around hook, the man makes this look GOD DAMN AMAZING!!!!! Unreal. He’s not real. He’s a cyborg.
K.D. really deserve more credit!!!
he have like the guy who blew 3-1 and join 73-9 team
The only thing holding KD back from being the best scorer ever is his aggressiveness. He hasn't shot over 20 shots a game in over half a decade. I think he only did so for 3 seasons early in his NBA career. Just for perspective MJ literally shot 27 shots per game the year he averaged 37 and shot about 23 shots per game for the rest of his career. KD has only shot over 21 shots per game one season. If he would just shoot more he could easily average 33 points every season but im not sure why he doesn't.
In the playoffs he does take it up another level but he can easily do the same in the regular season. Shame because KD is actually more efficient at scoring than MJ.
when your so early it feels like your late
It sucks we never go to see a prime KD with Westbrook and Harden in together in OKC..
blame their gm but in reality you can't cuz he drafted them
Fell in love with NBA do to that team. Man where they fire 💕. Ibaka too! Man so sick
I know they was trying to get under the luxury tax, but they should of got rid of that useless center and kept Harden for one more year. I forgot the centers name, but he was only good for blocking shot, but couldn't rebound or score points.
@@mauricemordecai4376 It was Perkins and yeah he was complete trash in a team of raw talent. A guy like Adams like they have now would've been the perfect fit.
"Yall know who i am...im Kevin Durant"
And the Blazers still drafted Greg Oden 😂
I wonder if the pros themselves watch these videos and are like "damn that was me" or "I didn't know that" in the heavy stat chart videos.
I’m willing to bet at least a few NBA players watch or have heard of jxmy. LeBron is big into stats and basketball strategy so I honestly think he’d like this channel.
