Suns/Grizzlies at halftime on TNT. Grizzlies working them and up 12 but Durant has 19 in the first half and is 7 points away from becoming the 8th player to score 30,000 points in the NBA.

In case anyone wants to tune in.

That Texas fans demand a top 10 basketball program yet at the same time don't give a shit when a former Horn becomes the 8th player in NBA history to put up 30,000 tells you all you need to know.

You got me to tune in.

pretty incredible to see him join that list

On one hand, feels just like yesterday he was dropping 30 on the Aggies at the Drum

He played his fucking ass off tonight. His teammates didn't do him any favors.

34/3/3, 1 steal, 5 blocks and played 43 minutes at 36. 

I hope he makes one more move before he retires. I know he's at times been the architect of his demise but he doesn't deserve this dogshit in Phoenix.

Is he in your top ten?  I have him in top 15.  If injuries hadn't happened.

career wise, no. but i actually think that KD is LeBron’s equal, he’s just won fewer titles because he’s spent his entire career in the west playing on mismanaged teams, outside of his stint in GS, where he was the clear best player/alpha one of the greatest and most talented teams of all time. i’ve always believed that if you switched LeBron and KD’s teams (so, let KD play with bosh and wade under the guidance of Spo and Riley while LeBron fights russell westbrook for the ball in okc) that it would be KD who has more titles and mvps than lebron, and it would be KD who is considered this generations best player.

Oh, ability wise absolutely.  If KD had stayed at GSW, I think he gets two more titles at least and likely stays ahead of Steph.  KD also has had some substantial injuries.

 

For me career wise he's top 15, with Giannis nipping at his heels

Leaving GS was really stupid. Joking kyrie was really stupid. Joining the Suns was really stupid. I'm sensing a pattern...

He's better than Giannis imo. 

I probably have Jokic above him at this point though. 

I have KD with guys like Hakeem and Moses.

KD made some head scratching career moves, and missed some time, but peak KD for me is easily top 10. I realize that's not how it works, but take every player at peak form, and KD easily sticks in the top 10. Pure hooper with questionable decision making skills as it relates to the business of basketball.

Unrelated, but I put Jokic in the top 5 all time  by the same metric, and if he stays healthy and plays another 8-10 years....

Didn't see this posted after a quick review of a couple of boards. But even if it is already posted, worth doing again:

Apologies for the linkage, but I couldn't find any quick way to directly link the video of KD's emotional response to a question about the impact of basketball and the Olympics on his life.
