Is Durants on-court impact overrated????

I also think Prime Dwight in Orlando before the back surgeries was equal or better.

How is being the #1 offense last year, #1 and #2 in point differential these past two seasons not impactful enough?

You can tell when a person has never played basketball when they say things like "if he's not scoring then he isn't going anything to help his team".

Are you guys retarded? He's still Kevin f*cking Durant. Teams make game plans revolving around what this guy does. He's still going to be out there commanding the most defensive attention on the court. He's still making it easier for his teammates on offense. He's still playing defense on the other end.

Ya'll are idiots sometimes, seriously.

Heat fan you mean.

Don't know about overall but as far as defending good wing players 1-on-1, I'd say his impact barely registers. He's like the 3rd best defender on Thunder's starting 5, so he simply will not have that game-altering effect on defense.

Just look how Lebron exposed him. Clearly this is a mismatch in regular situations but seeing how the fans and players wanted it, Brooks let it happen on a few occasions. In each of those Lebron pretty much made KD look like David Lee.

I'd say on offense his impact is pretty damn significant though.
