From treball is odee shooting hang pulls

It’s the KD special. He makes the open shot then hits it

Nobody can contest his jumpers he releases them from like 10 feet in the air lol

Midgod

Bro literally mastered the pullup hesi jimbo 

And having top 5 minutes in the league lol

but the rule also would’ve affected him almost every year since that achilles tear except 2024 and now

“This rule didnt effect this one freak athlete, therefore all arguments are void”

Acting like injuries cant happen at any age smh

And there’s plenty 37 year olds who didn’t play 78 games. One outlier doesn’t prove anything.

Certain play styles are much better for the body. It’s much easier to stay healthy as KD than like Jalen Brunson for example

For people complaining about the 65 game rule a 37 year old who tore his Achilles a few years ago just played 78 while being a teams best player.

Preach. Swear people have goldfish brains these days.

It wasn’t three years ago people who played 50-60 games were in serious MVP conversations, and we had endless talking heads and people on reddit bitching about load management, and the integrity of the game.

Now it’s all moaning about the 65 game rule. Maybe it could be lowered to 60, but it’s doing its job. Grass is always greener.

Survivorship bias

Did you notice the part where he said 90% of Durant’s shots are jumpers? He doesn’t risk contact. He doesn’t fly around the floor on defense. He has the skill to make his jumpers and the length to not have to fly around as much, but he’s making some business decisions at his age that keep him healthy.

True

Also, you shouldn’t be Hall of Fame eligible unless you play at least 60,000 minutes in your career. For people who would complain about it, LeBron did it.

the rule is still shit.

I’m certaintly not one to complain about teh 65 game rule, but Kevin durant is a literal freak of nature and not what should be measured as the “expected” return from a torn achilles

Those are great numbers for a 27yo player

its crazy how post horrific injury mid thirties KD puts up similar stats as prime KD

One of the greatest mid range shooters I ever seen. I’m legit surprised when he misses a jumper. Best shooter rockets ever seen so far not even a hot take.

The only reason he isn’t regarded as a total loser like dillon brooks or some shit is because he is legitimately amazing at basketball

He shoots like no one’s on his dickerson.

Why doesn’t everyone just do that? Are they stupid?

He’s 7’ who has perfected moves to get space and plays against people much shorter. There’s not much reason to drive when you can shoot that great without taking the punishment.

Like shooting over a chair

But he only plays Dillon brooks a few times per year!

It affects his burst. He used to blow by people easily. He is just so talented that he completely reformed his game to adapt to his body after the injury. Truly remarkable

He lost a step for sure. The burst wasn’t there post injury and also his defense fell off.

Fortunately for him he can keep shooting over people until the end of time

Oh it affected him, but not his jump shots making. Back then KD would’ve blown by and get a poster. Nowadays, I don’t think I’ve seen him attempt or attack as hard as he used to lol

That shit made him more powerful, all of his shooting splits got better post-injury.

It’s completely changed his game. He used to finish at the rim much more.

He is different and slower than pre injury but he’s a better jump shooter and more passing now but his defense has been affected alot. See his 2017-18 highlights he was super aggressive in the paint and a block machine and a great one on one defender. Hes definitely lost alot of the sideways quick movement on defense

Who wrote him off? Lol. Strawman

What’s crazy is if it wasn’t for LeBron KD would probably end up the highest scoring player of all time. And he probably is the only guy who I think even has a chance of ending up 40k All time points too.

The Servant 😤

Durantula 👻

Curious where do you rank Bird in this

They’ll never convince me that it isn’t 1A/1B/1C for the 2010s with LeBron, Curry, and Durant. 2016 was the big butterfly effect moment, as any of their teams could’ve realistically won the Finals that year. The narratives would be very different if KD had gotten one with OKC. It’s cool that Cleveland won. Definitely the best story, but now we have to live with the idea that there’s separation between these guys, when the margins were razor thin.

Much the same story in the Olympics. It wasn’t one guy dominating. It was those three guys taking turns doing crazy stuff, with a little help from people like AD, Booker, and Embiid.

Reddit doesn’t know shit about basketball. The first thing about knowing about ball is you have to like it.

Reddit nba fans hate basketball, hate basketball players, and hate the nba.

Hopefully KD has changed his mind about drinking Scarlett Johansson’s bath water

Well he is 5th on the all-time scoring list so yeah

Yup, I have George Gervin, Joe Johnson, Adrian Dantley, Malachi Flynn, and Kevin Durant

Top 3

Yeah. Getting 90 percent from the line at a high volume might be one of the hardest things to accomplish low key for some reason. Goes to show that shooting from the foul line is such an underrated skill.

Revisionist history, Raiders Moss wasn’t even close to that volume on jumpshots

Absolute robbery is really strong wording. I don’t see any of that group KD is in(KD, Mitchell, Maxey, Brunson, JB) as having immensely strong “insane to vote this guy over that guy” arguments over really anyone else in that group, even Ant would be there if he had the games played mark, it’s w/e.

I trust OKC fans opinion on Durant as much as anyone should trust my opinion on Oklahoma as a whole.

Any reason why you don’t like his game?
