Kevin Durant - The number 23

Kevin Durant - Mike was drafted after a promising big (Sam Bowie) and Durant was also picked after a promising big... 2 mistakes. Sam Bowie was an injuryprone big man who the Blazers picked based on his size, potential, and need. Oden was also picked for similar reasons. However in time we'll see that while this draft had many GOOD players, it only had ONE great one -

Unknowingly I have used footage from a clip by worldwideballa12 and along with my apologies to him, I give him credit for the Durant highlights (plays) in the second portion of this mix.

No need to say n**ga so often - we get it, you're young, black, and ignorant about the effects of your own words. You realize you saying it makes it okay for others to say it?

Michael Jordan's success came from bastard-like soft corupt refs, a league which worshipped him, his own "games within a game" mentality which stemmed from his gambling on his own games, and did I mention preferential star treatment. Is Jordan great? Hell yes. Is he the greatest player of all time... quite arguably, is he the most talented player to ever play in the nba... not a chance. Sorry.. long rant.

Nigga you need to quit drinking that haterade and grow up

[mafia6524]

So you think he's the most "talented" player to ever play the game?? ...wow

[mafia6524]

He was the most motivated individual, an amazing winner, a big time name, money maker for the league, celebrity, defensive player, competitor. I can name you 3 players playing in the league who are more talented than him. But who has his desire? ...Maybe no one.. but he wasn't God-like. Lebron, Vince Carter, and kobe Bryant are more skilled players, and I think the first 2 are the for sures with Kobe being more of a blue print.

The thing about Jordan and Durant is you can see that Durant wants it that bad too, he's not in the NBA to just pick up a paycheck, he's there to win, I really wish we had picked him up instead of Oden but that's just because I wanted another MJ more than anything.

Durant is a prodigy no doubt about it, hell have a championship later in his career but cmon now, comparing him to MJ??

bullshit

i dont see durant having a 63 point performance against the best defensive team in the league(celtics thn and now)

and i definately dont see him having 6 NBA titles, 5 MVPs, 6 Finals MVPs,10 scoring titles and leading a team with a record of 72-10

if anything durant will accomplish half of that in his career

Durant is great but not Jordan-great

"i dont see durant having a 63 point performance against the best defensive team"

Who the fuck are you, Ray Charles? Durant is 22 yrs old & 3 yrs pro already has a scoring title and still is leading the league in scoring he is good defender avg at least 1 blk & 1.5 steals

"I definitely dont see him having 6 NBA titles, 5 MVPs, 6 Finals MVPs,10 scoring titles and leading a team with a record of 72-10"

Do you not realize how stacked MJ team was?

Who the fuck are you?

@DestinationAirsoft13 You never know, too early to speculate

@Lyrikalstylez Durant=Noob

[Funpants94]

Why are the Michael Jordan highlights in black and white?

[Lyrikalstylez]

Kevin Durant is sure as hell better than Laqueen James

[kingdeshawn]

@LGlyde9989 i wonder how this guy feels right now, what a stupid thing to say, know absolutly nothing about basketball, just a hater clearly, hopefully youve changed your mind

[MrDarkestBlack]

Better than James

[Hoopsfroops]

@foxxcon If we are going by scoring, then Kevin Durant is better.

Because he beat all of M.Jordans rookie scoring records so hence by ppg Kevin Durant is currently better.
