Official 2014-2015 Kevin "Servant" Durant Discussion Thread

[JT123]

If Durant still can't win this year he'll be exposed as a FRAUD

Durant was exposed as a fraud last season. It's time we accept that he is what he is, regular season hero/playoff zero.

Durant is the best player in the league.

In before some Thunder fan start complaining about the title

Kevin Durant likes 'The Servant'

"I like to serve everybody. My teammates. Ushers at the game. The fans," Durant said in an interview Friday, when asked why he chose "The Servant" as his new moniker.

But according to his logic you can't be the best play unless you can dominate the post

thats not whats hes saying at all.

He says if Durant had a post game he would be better than Lebron

[SOD 21]

So who was the best player in the league a couple of seasons ago when Lebron's biggest weakness was his post game?

There was a huge gap between LeBron James and the rest the leg three or four seasons ago even with him needing to develop a more effective post again. LeBron was always able to post players up, he just chose not to. It was a mental decision on his part.

When Kevin Durant allows smaller players to guard him it takes away from his effectiveness on the dribble penetration and negatively affects his game. It is a weakness that must be improved.

Is it just me or does he look like he bulked up a bit?

Thoughts on Durant's season so far? I haven't been too impressed.

Judging by the lack of All Star votes neither have the fans.
The stats are all there, but there's no WOW factor or sexiness in his game. I watched him on Sunday against the Cavs, and despite scoring 32 points he had no impact on the game. That game was pretty much a summation of his season thus far.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Great post JT. He doesn't seem to have the impact that say...a player like LeBron does. Stats are decent - but is he contributing to wins at that level? I don't think so.

We need a Kobe "the rapist" Bryant discussion thread, a thread where we could discuss new improvements on the rotator cuff surgery and the chances of him posting a 20 ppg 40% season in his future years

Durant is underrated on this board. Seems the only time people hype him up is to hate on Bron. Clearly still a top 2 player. Top 10 talent. Top 15 as the 10 list is already crowded.

That said, Servant is the worse nickname ever.

He chose it himself.
