Great stuff. Love how candid and relaxed when doing these interviews. Thank God an injury didn't completely ruin another season of his prime. At least he has a chance to play again in the season.

I started to like Durant more after that interview with Simmons. He was so candid and genuine, seemed like the kind of guy that you could have a beer and a fun conversation with.

Good to see him back

Most encouraging thing is his defense is still elite(mobility).

My top 5 KD plays for the season :

1. The block vs LeBron.
2. The deep 3 in Westbrook's face.
3. The block vs Booker's dunk attempt (followed by Curry deep 3).
4. The poster dunk over Love.
5. The block vs DeRozen's dunk attempt.

(The first 2 are not in that video since the video was uploaded before those 2 plays happening)

Forgot about that block on Lebron.

Definition of pure basketball beauty. Can't get enough of this. It's insane a 7-footer pulls this off with such ease.

By the way, am I the only one who thinks his footwork among SFs could be argued the best ever? It's up there at least for me. His footwork is just so amazing for me (and so pretty at the same time which is a big reason why I'm a fan).

In terms of footwork, I would say that Pierce is probably the best ever. Dantley, Durant and Bird are close to him, though.

What's nice about KD is that he never needs time to get back into form. He's hit the ground running just like in 2015.

KD35Brah · Post #597 » by **KD35Brah** » Mon Apr 17, 2017 3:53 pm

Looks like he's going to do this for the whole playoffs.

Has an in-prime superstar ever been this open about his life during the season?

This is such a great move tbh. What a great idea. Love it.

This play is perfect example of how selfish Durant is. In this set he was supposed to pass to Green, but - as many times this season - he though he is still in Oklahoma. When Warriors will face stronger opponent this style of play will cost them title.

"Selfish" Durant is actually averaging less FGA than Klay and Steph this season.
