@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.
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.
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.
Your videos are so entertaining to watch! By now I must've watched at least 50, and I wouldn't say I am even interested in Basketball lol. Goes to show how engaging your videos are! Keep up the good work.

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
It's like when MJ destroyed Magic, Bird, and Isiah on the 82 USA team while he was in college. It's crazy that he even went back to college after that.
@@stevenbarnes7960 yeah he finished his rookie season ave slightly over 20ppg and was inefficient from the field. Melo was the better option as the back up SF in 2008. But if this was 2009 then Im sure there would be a solid discussion on whether u go with Melo or KD or take both
Dunks, putback dunks, threes, fade-away jumpers, the works... and yet, my favorite UAU moment was THAT steal (6:15) on the crossover drible. Who was wearing white number 10? KD deserves so much respect and appreciation. Unique all-around-tall-talented-beast and one of the greatests of all time, hands down.
@@legoatjagoat4691 I don't understand how you can't see he is not one of the best or the best scorers of all time. Legit he scores from all 3 levels and he has handles of a point guard and he has defense. He legit one of the best scorers not by points but the way he puts up the points.
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.
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
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.
I knew there would be at least 1 comment like this. No one can even so much as mention his name in a video anymore without a slew of “RIP KOBE HE WAS A TRUE LEGEND 🙏🏼💛💜” comments
@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.
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
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.
I was at this game and believe me Durant was truly a young uncoordinated 18. And he was that good. And Dwight Howard looked like a Robocop chiseled machine at 21
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.
@@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!
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 just wanted to emphasize that there was a time that KD came off the bench, which is crazy to think about regardless of how inexperienced he was
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
MJ as a college player and playing with other college players, beat early 80s NBA all-stars...not once, not twice, but three times as a scrimmage prior to the Olympic
Jxmy I have been a fan of your videos for so long especially the trap sax and have always enjoyed them so much! You are the biggest reason why I started the tube and inspired me to make videos like yours but I don’t get any recognition on them :(
Always been a huge fan of Kd. I remember when he was drafted and a lot of peeps said he was too skinny and weak to score in the nba. He made them eat their words.
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
Dude, no joke, Flight is a much much much less polished KD, think about it, they are both tall and skinny. Also, they don’t rely on there athleticism to score. Weird but true...
Completely agree, that was such a weird thing to add in. He just got done saying he was an after-thought/youngest player ever to scrimmage with them, and then Surprise he's coming off the bench.....not really surprising at all. If he wasn't coming off the bench/pre-NBA/undiscovered this wouldn't even be a worthy video because KD playing well against other Stars wouldn't be a surprise at all.
@@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.

@@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!!
KD has been 🔥 since day 1... can’t wait to see him healthy again... savage on the court and burner accounts

@@eddiedettling9322 Kobe is mentioned quiet often in this and he's saying RIP to a group of individuals that lost their life. I don't understand your position against that.
I've been into ballin all my life I've lived it I love it Sometimes it consumes me but Kd that man has an appetite for the game he's one of the top 3 I've seen in awhile and I'm 43
😊 Jordan and Kobe the other 2?
Kevin Durant will always be my #1 Favourite NBA Player, a silent assassin on the court
Yessir💯💯 the slender humble beast
Love KD ..aka easy money sniper💰💰
found one of durant's burner accounts 🐍
@@jackmercer1 lmao no
Silent on the court and the best Twitter troll on earth
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
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
@Inigo Bantok who
TheRealist 811
The fans are more sensitive than KD, they still bring up old shit acting like females.
JCSuperman73 4 he got way more time to rest💯he’ll come back better fans been praying
It's like when MJ destroyed Magic, Bird, and Isiah on the 82 USA team while he was in college. It's crazy that he even went back to college after that.
Cant believe KD wasnt on 2008 redeem team
Jalen Davis well mj never did lol but isiah did
@@stevenbarnes7960 yeah he finished his rookie season ave slightly over 20ppg and was inefficient from the field. Melo was the better option as the back up SF in 2008. But if this was 2009 then Im sure there would be a solid discussion on whether u go with Melo or KD or take both
Can we appreciate How well Edited and Put together his videos are👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯
fr i wish jxmmy could upload everyday but then hed probably need to clone himself and never sleep
U a hoopist btw
Teresamae Alvis I’m NOT THE LIGHTSKIN MARCUS JOHNSON Should have never Choose that name😭😭😭😭😭😭
Danny Granger i appreciate
Dunks, putback dunks, threes, fade-away jumpers, the works... and yet, my favorite UAU moment was THAT steal (6:15) on the crossover drible.
Who was wearing white number 10?
KD deserves so much respect and appreciation. Unique all-around-tall-talented-beast and one of the greatests of all time, hands down.
Looks like Michael red
Kd one of the greatest players ever and I cannot wait to see him play for Brooklyn
LaRue Mathis no
LeGoat JaGoat KD > LeCrybaby James
@LaRue Mathis no cap. He can score an insane amount of points from any spot
@@legoatjagoat4691 I don't understand how you can't see he is not one of the best or the best scorers of all time. Legit he scores from all 3 levels and he has handles of a point guard and he has defense. He legit one of the best scorers not by points but the way he puts up the points.
God 3>2 try again
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.
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
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
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

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.
“Atlanta hawks at the bottom of the nba” well this didn’t age great
Beat me to it
Lmao
u know how old this video is? KD hadnt even played a NBA game yet lmao. they were very spot on
@@jsarge6136 this video was made 11 months ago lol
@@gavinhatter828 uploaded maybe. This video over 10 years old
I bet PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS is still kicking their self for not drafting him b4 GREG ODEN
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.
Great work Highroller most KD haters don't know about this game. I watched it live and felt like it proved he was gonna be the best.
This is the type of game we need as an all star game... bring in the hungry college bois to play, you will get a heated match every single time!
MJ did that to Magic Johnson, Larry Bird and some other greats before he played his first NBA game too
And Jimmy made a video about it
Yeah he torched those stars even when still in college
@Quinn Gilbert only time will tell.
Larry Bird is probably better than MJ
IT FEELS GOOD BEING THIS EARLY ON A GOATED VID.
This guy is awesome, even this season, ive seen 2 Brooklyn games and makes everything so easy
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.
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
Dennis Rodman went from 5'8 to 6'7 in one year. This happened over the summer when he graduated high school.
Can we all give this man Jimmy a slow clap for blessing us with frequent uploads
Nope
13 years later and he still hasnt brushed his hair
😭😭😭🤦♂️
I think he has a disorder lol
😂 😂 😂 😂
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.
I was at this game and believe me Durant was truly a young uncoordinated 18. And he was that good. And Dwight Howard looked like a Robocop chiseled machine at 21
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!
“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
KD gonna be one of the greats!
Yeah man shout out to the work you put in for these facts, love it mane
What I love about this dude is how he always surpassed expectations on his way to become the greatest basketball player in the world.
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.
KD is supposed to be the greatest after LeBron but Giannis came early. lol
@@Fakename70 steve nash will not going to say that he will use kd as an all around players if he knows kd is not ready.....steve nash is a friend of kd and ky..if kd has no curry atlist he had kyrie....if kd has no steve kerr atlist kd has steve nash,if kd has no gsw atlist kd has brooklyn hahahahahhaa.what a coincident...

And now he's the all time best player of Team USA
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🔥🔥🙌🙌🙌🙌

“Greatness”? Depends on your definition of the word, I guess.

@Edmon D. Reyes You mean the same lebron that dusted his punk as in okc
“He came of the bench” He was 18 what else do you expect
I think he just wanted to emphasize that there was a time that KD came off the bench, which is crazy to think about regardless of how inexperienced he was
@@trvspvrk Some ppl just don't get it they wanna state the obvious
@@trvspvrk But so did many other superstars when they were rookies or young (like AD for example). Idk why its highlighted here
I love jmxy but yeah I was thinking the same thing too lol.
I really think guys on KD’s team were letting him be great and giving him part in the game. That’s true sportsmanship and care.
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
It won’t be long until KD gets another ring, trust me, this guy is special.
why you writing this as if people don't know how op KD is
🐍 🐍 🐍
“Gets another ring”? As a player? In the NBA? With Brooklyn?
KD doesn't have that winning mindset
Who else waiting for Flights reaction?😂
Me lol
He goin upload it tmrw
Imma Still Watch the Original Video cause Jimmy the goat
Me
why you lie it’s july
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
KD is the next GOAT!!! Hope he stays healthy and win more chips!!! One of my favorite players!!!
MJ as a college player and playing with other college players, beat early 80s NBA all-stars...not once, not twice, but three times as a scrimmage prior to the Olympic
Jxmy I have been a fan of your videos for so long especially the trap sax and have always enjoyed them so much! You are the biggest reason why I started the tube and inspired me to make videos like yours but I don’t get any recognition on them :(
I checked out your channel and I really like your videos! Keep grinding my man and you got a new sub!
Stop using jimmy and acting like a fan to self promote
Durant is a basketball freak of nature. He's damn near unstoppable!
Always been a huge fan of Kd. I remember when he was drafted and a lot of peeps said he was too skinny and weak to score in the nba. He made them eat their words.
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
Jaxton Jr Van Gundy
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
So my man was kicking Lebron's ass even before the Nba? Crazy lmao
Dude, no joke, Flight is a much much much less polished KD, think about it, they are both tall and skinny. Also, they don’t rely on there athleticism to score. Weird but true...
m.ua-cam.com/video/uMLvpOmKdZU/v-deo.html, the nba portrayed by spondgebob
The Knick Fan there is a 99% chance that is a rick roll
Flight is not tall at least not for a basketball player
Nah he’s like Ingram skinny length tattoos weed

@@jackiezheng9577 He’s 18 years old, practically undiscovered at this point, so naturally you’d expect him to come off the bench, no?
Completely agree, that was such a weird thing to add in. He just got done saying he was an after-thought/youngest player ever to scrimmage with them, and then Surprise he's coming off the bench.....not really surprising at all. If he wasn't coming off the bench/pre-NBA/undiscovered this wouldn't even be a worthy video because KD playing well against other Stars wouldn't be a surprise at all.
@@Zmad724 I know right?! Glad someone agrees...

0:30 That WNBA ad for a game scheduled for 1pm on a Wednesday.
He’s already in my top 10 best basketball players ever.
He's ahead of Kobe/Tim Duncan/Shaq/Hakeem/Bird/Wilt/Kareem/MJ/Lebron/Magic/Russell in terms of accomplishments?
@@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
The most elite scorer this game has ever seen
1:19
did he say two thousand and seventy
that was what i was getting ready to say
No. In two thousand and seven, the NBA looked a bit different :D
I heard that too but I said nvm I didn’t hear nothing 😂😂
