Durant Signing With Warriors

Go back and watch OKC play the heat and you will see how much better lebron is than durant

5 years ago is so irrelevant

Fair enough. But it was really difficult for me to put Durant ahead of Steph when we were seeing Steph's regular season. He was on another level.

I agree. Steph is going to be underrated this year

I don't think that is true.

He is in a weird spot where he is being simultaneously overrated for his regular season dominance that only positively impacts the offensive side, (just like Steve Nash was) and underrated because of his poor play in the playoffs after the MCL injury.

I think Curry is the most skilled and Dynamic offensive player in the game, but if you took KD and Curry, and put them seperately on awful teams, KD would elevate his higher. There are more ways he can impact the game, and nobody is capable of slopping KD 1 on 1, where I think big athletic defenders like Leonard and LeBron are capable of slowing Curry.

Why?
Now, besides being a great shooter, people will see how much better his all around offensive game is.

It will literally come down to teams just hoping the Warriors miss open shots.

Horns thinks the spurs will shoot 100% in the paint this year against the warriors

Leonard has had trouble with steph when he was healthy. And lebron doesnt defend steph

Sure. Great offense is always going to beat great defense. Anybody would have trouble guarding him. My point is that an elite on ball defender with size has a chance against Curry any given possession in a 1 on 1 game. Curry still gets a good shot more often than not, but the defender will win sometimes. I don't think anybody can stop Durant from getting a good look without help.
