Haven't noticed that, but that shit is annoying. Other bigs do it as well. Pau Gasol is the worst about it. LeBron does it more than any other perimeter player.

They almost need to ban that shit from the league somehow. T people up for screaming.

watch his highlight vids, he does it on literally every play

I don't know if Durant can get much better than he is right now, maybe smarter, savy but not better. I mean he doesn't have much ground to grow in offense, in defense he may get better but he is already very good.

well smarter and more savvy IS better. fundamentals and basketball iq are typically what separate the the greats from the legends.

kd probably won't figure out any new ways of putting the ball in the hoop, his ball handling probably wont drastically improve. but the older you get and the more you play, the more you hone your instincts. it's why lebron is still (imo) a better player than durant, who probably has more raw talent. it explains blake griffin's jump into top tier big man status, just a better understanding of the game.

i think durant still has some major steps to take down that path, sometimes it seems like he overthinks stuff like kobe used to do. i also feel westbrook is impeding his progress in that area to an extent.




whos gonna be better? god knows. the best way to answer this question is to reframe it like "if you could take either guy right now for the remainder of their careers, who would you take"... and even though u get a few extra years from davis, you'd be foolish to take them over duraant whos a sure thing.

Funny thing about trollsmasher, for a smasher of troll he is the biggest one of them

Maybe his name is just ironic

KD untill AD atleast manages to get to the playoffs. no reason for Pelicans to be behind the Knicks and Nuggets

[K Xerxes]

I have a feeling we are seeing peak statistical Durant, sinilar to what Bron did in 09 or 10. He will get smarter and better but I see his stats either plateauing or going down. It happens with a lot of perimeter players.

Anyone suggesting this isn't prime Durant is a moron. If he does get better, it's not gonna be much better than this.

Not sure abiut about AD but I can see them being 1 and 2 for many years.

[MavsSuperFan]

Both will be spectacular players imo.

But I would rather have the post player than the wing player.

[Andrei89]

Who knows right now.

AD has huge potential though. If he turns into the next Garnett, we are in for a treat.

Wut?

[dannysc305]

I MIGHT go AD if he can give me 25+ppg average with all the Rebs and BLKs he can provide because he can do more than 1 dimensional no d scorer KD... Being a LeBron fan has taught me to appreciate a player with defense and multi faceted game

KD can give 30 PTs with like 6-8 Rebs no assists blocks or defense.... Those things matter... Especially d. Davis ability to alter shots at rim is intangible

Currently, KD tho. AD needs to step up his scoring

[NoGunzJustSkillz]

Wut?

[IncarceratedBob]

If this is actually KDs peak then I'm inclined to go Davis. Durants having a nice year but we've seen it before. IMO Davis can one day average 28/18/6 on elite shooting numbers with great defense

[NoGunzJustSkillz]

hopefully AD can stay healthy.

[smoovegittar]

AD. Durant has obviously peaked; can't see him improving. Oh, and those nagging injuries right around the corner. 1st round exit...
