Lebron iced him in the finals years ago. you cant use warriors as a benchmark. the splash brothers made sure you couldnt load up on him.

This is so hard.

Which team would you pick?
Team A takes it anytime anyday. MJ and KD are something else though

That team was too much firepower though. No way to stop them if they are all healthy.

No he's not. He's got a midrange quite alright, but for somebody who's as light as feather, he can't always get to the rim when he wants.

I disagree. On the defensive end, Kd may be sometimes questionnable, but as a scorer, he has no match. Maybe Harden (on a very good day)

Sucks for KD I hope he shakes the virus off expeditiously. Let's hope they find a virus or vaccine. I didn't expect things would get this bad so quickly

why not. the virus had 2 whole months to infiltrate. 2 months! I am more worried for african countries right now though - there are europeans trying to get to usa by force, and they are transiting via african countries, thus spreading it.

Durantula will be fine. the biggest fear is upper respiratory and cardiac issues - for a athlete like KD, this will be a minor inconvenience.

My statement was not based on a game vs the Cavs or KD on the Warriors. I didn't even mention LeBron or anything. Una sha like to play defence for no reason. grin

I was talking about Kevin Durant not the Golden State Warriors. He has always been unstoppable since his OKC days. Let's not talk about his efficiency.

It's KD you use midrange 'quite alright'.
Kevin Durant ni quite ok midrange, light as feather and no ring game but had four consecutive scoring titles? You're talking in nonsense as usual. I'll am ears though.

Ice is a stretch. KD shot at a higher clip and averaged more points. Bear in mind Westbrook went 4/20 in the elimination game

Pretty much almost all the cases in Africa have been imported by diasporans and some Italians that are borderline acting as Vectors at this point.

The hope is that KD and the others found positive are not carrying any underlying illnesses.

Different rumors of vaccines being found and we're not sure what to believe

Nah the Athletes will be fine. Worst case scenario is if they are found to be carrying an underlying illnesses. Even that still, they'll have 24hr round the clock top notch care.

To be honest, Westbrook probably did as much damage to Durant by hogging the ball that series grin

There is a vaccine out already, it is being tested on 40 health workers in the state of Washington. The scientist are confident it would be successful, problem is, how do we successfully contain the spread before the vaccine is out to all the hospitals after a successful trial.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:30am On Mar 19, 2020
As for the debate about Durant, you can call him a mental midget, a softie, too emotional....but when it comes to doing it on the court, especially, offensive basketball with a focus on clutch moments? In his era, no one comes close!

Scoring title averaging what? 30 or 31 ppg. He's not the first to do it. Harden averaged 35ppg, is Harden not his mate?

Bro I did not dispute the claim that (healthy) KD is the very best as far as offense / scoring is concerned. I rather agreed. I just made a side comment as to the GSW fire power. Unless you mean, it is no longer allowed to make comments on what is posted here.

Big facts.

It is not about the number of points only. Harden does way more, controls the ball more, gets more FT etc.

We can say Harden is the "thirstiest" scorer, but KD the most gifted natural scorer.

Your side comment was more like the only comment. I was talking about KD though not just when he was with the Warriors. The video I posted made it confusing. It's totally ok to agree or disagree.

You're right. If KD handled the ball as much as Harden, he could average way more than 35 without the FTs.

Let's hope so sha. Feels like we are approaching dystopic territory

How can spread be contained with ediots like these below.

100%....There is a reason he is nicknamed the slimreaper...he rips your soul out with some of the best and unbelievable plays. An efficient passer if needed who can shoulder a team to a W for consecutive nights if he needed.

This is an example of what the CDC is worried about. How much damage would have been done before the vaccine is allowed to go public after a successful trial.
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 11:35am On Mar 19, 2020
Imagine saying Westbrook is a number 2. The earlier we accept that Westbrook is a superstar in this league, the better. What has KD achieved that Westbrook hasn't? MVP, two-time scoring champion, two-time assist leader. He deserves to be number one on any team. As great as AD is. He's still number 2 to LeBron.

*p.s. Don't dare mention that KD has 2 titles and 2 finals MVP. I'm sure you know why.

Millennials are something else.
Getting vaccines will probably be like solving 20% of the problem. You still have ediots like these who can't stay at home, people who still want to travel and the anti-vaxxers who have been very quiet.
