Scores, blocks shots, rebounds, spaces the floor...

He’s the reason they won a championship last year
I would’ve traded Curry for picks IMO
Attacks and defends
He's a terrific scorer who's effective from long range and driving to the basket. He's also a solid defender and a decent rebounder thanks to his height. He's a center who can shoot and dribble like a guard. Probably the 2nd-best player in the league. Also the main reason the Warriors were able to beat Lebron last year.
*He's basically a center who can
Referencing his height, he's listed at 6'9" but he's actually 7'0".
He protec
but more importan
he attac
He's a small forward, he does anything he needs to.
If the Warriors had no KD they’d have no chips this era
He's actually like 6'7 since NBA players are bitches who get measured in shoes
...
They blew a 3-1 lead in 2016
KD has never blown a 3-1 lead ever
...
Warriors without KD: blew a 3-1 lead in the finals in a rout
warriors with KD: close out in 5
Is that disputable?
No, Durant actually under-reports his height. He has done this for years, because the way basketball scouting works is that if you're a certain height you immediately get shoehorned into a certain position. Durant is 7'0", even though he's lied and said he was 6'9". If you watched him at all during his career, you might have noticed him standing next to guys who are 6'10", 6'11", and noticed that he's taller than those guys.
A lot of NBA players over-report their own height. Derrick Rose is supposedly 6'3" but standing side-by-side with 6'0" Mesut Ozil, they're the same height. Chris Paul is listed at 6'0" but my 5'9" little sister is taller than him. However, Durant is the exception to the rule. He's much taller than he claims.
Completely take the fuck over if they manage to start messing up at some point (very rare considering they're one of the best ever).
So I guess make a seemingly unbeatable team truly unbeatable?

Please stop being retarded
Huh. I guess I haven't seen that photo in a long time, could have sworn they were the same size. But my point still stands, NBA players do frequently over-report their own heights.
KD blew a 3-1 lead to the warriors right before the warriors blew their 3-1 lead though
>No, Durant actually under-reports his height. He has done this for years, because the way basketball scouting works is that if you're a certain height you immediately get shoehorned into a certain position
porzingis is 222cm and he doesn't play centre
Wins championships
That's because tall white guys from Europe that now how to shoot always have to be a PF for some reason
He helps them in the playoffs

KD is 6 feet and 10 3/4 inches tall.

Kills the Cavs.
You can try and point to injuries and Green's suspension for 3-1 but the real real the Warriors lost is because Harrison Barnes shit the fucking bed the entire series after the Cavs started trapping Curry and Thompson. Now if they try to trap you have the best scorer in the league to pass to instead of >Barnes
scores points, gets rebounds, passes the ball, guards his man, etc
But it's not like they play with their shoes off, what would be the point in recording their height off the court?
They need him because Curry chokes hard and his shooting percentages drop in the finals.
He lets them beat Lebron in the finals.
then you could have guys wearing shoes with taller heals, measuring barefoot is a more standardised way of measuring
Exactly this shit. Barnes lost the 2016 finals for the dubyas
cucks Lebron
This so fucking hard. Tired of hearing people say OH HURR THEY DON'T NEED THEM IT'S ALL CURRY THOMPSON GREEN. They've apparently never seen curry and Thompson turn into ghosts in the finals. KD is the insurance
Did you not see the finals when he made every fucking shot? Him and Kahwi are literally the best players after LeBron.
LOL, you must be trolling man. Keeping Curry means you'd still have a good chance of winning a championship if Durant went down.
The most important thing KD does for the warriors is not playing for another team. Without him they would still be the title favorites and would have probably beaten the cavs last year. With him they are heavy favorites and make watching the whole thing pointless. People forget just how good meme state was and it took several miracles for the cavs to beat them that time in 2016
>there are literally people who care about the nba soap opera let alone the regular season

Everything better then any other guy
