Durant: Chuck too real. He changed the way we play ball. He changed the culture of ball. He is pound for pound the best. He paved the way. I can go on and on. But he's a legend and I'm just walking the path he created.

He paved the way for low efficency and chucking...and skipping practice...
I`ll give him that he played (mostly) hard, and had goat level quickness.
But imho he had problems fitting in on a team, in more than one way.
So we gonna see Durant shoot in the low 40ies now?

"Pound for pound the most talented ever" is a better argument.

There has never been a player that small as dominant scoring the rock. AI was also a great passer, a freak athlete, and had epic handles. He brought the new school And 1 style swag and game of the late 90's to early 2000 to the NBA. It's kind of the argument in boxing. How often was a heavyweight considered the best pound for pound boxer? It was always the smaller boxers because usually on a technical level they were as good as anybody. But they weren't BIG ENOUGH to beat the best heavyweights. It was a way of acknowledging the smaller boxers WHILE STILL giving the heavyweights props as best boxers because they were the biggest and baddest.
So in the case of guys like AI, Isiah, Tiny, or CP3, they are as offensively skilled as any players ever. But u have bigger perimeter players like MJ, Kobe, Bron, Bird, Magic, Big O, Wade, etc. that are just as skilled, bigger, and more versatile. So u would take the great bigger perimeter players over the small 6'0 guys like AI, Isiah, Tiny, and CP3. It's not about the skill ITS about the size and versatility. Thus is the reason Durant said "Pound for Pound".
But with that said, u have to be a GREAT IMMORTAL KIND OF PERIMETER PLAYER with great all around ability to be over guys like AI and Isiah. AI and Isiah are SO GREAT they are better than 95% of perimeter players to ever play. It's just that small percentage of dominant all around bigger perimeter players in that 6'5 and up range that u would take. And of course with PF's and C's, they are in their own category in terms of what u look for.

Loved Iverson in the day.
Characters like him are sorely missed. In fact, I just miss 90s ball
