Can Kevin durant be G.O.A.T?

First topic message reminder :

what do you thing???

because

he`s 21 years old..averaging about 30 pointa and 7 rebounds..

and he has a decent team witch can be number 1 spot in the standings...

he needs to improve his passing but he is a 21 year old basketball freak with a great freak opinions?

uhhh...in terms of OKC thrice versus Miami thrice: Miami's Big Three is better. Westbrook is obviously better than Chalmers, but don't give me that bullshit that it's close between Thabo Sefolosha and Dwyane Wade. I don't give him any credit for holding Wade to 25 points. That's not even far off to his season average. Thabo is a great defender, don't get me wrong, but in a Finals setting, when Wade is at his best, almost no one can stop him. LeBron - KD is a close matchup statistically, but unless KD muscles up he'll have some trouble guarding LeBron. He has the length, but not the quickness and definitely not the strength. We'll see though. Lastly, I don't care if Green had better games against Bosh last year, you don't evaluate players based on two matchups against each other. Bosh is clearly a better player, no argument about that.

Then comes coaching. If things stand where they are, then OKC-Miami will definitely be a see-saw series, but say Spoelstra is relieved of duties so Pat Riley can step in. Then, I don't know...I'd say the Heat would increase their chances of beating the Thunder by about 15% if Riley stepped in. It's definitely a toss up though, because Scott Brooks is a great young coach as well.

it can happen but its doubtful and he eeds to work his ass off too..so..

dont post your smartass comments on everyone else post.... His opinion is that its "very possible"....dickface

I agree with Jake and Steph.

My answer: He CAN become the GOAT... but I don't think he will be. then again.. I don't consider any player to be the GOAT... so no, KD will not be the GOAT.

Kevin Durant is nothing more than a 6'11 Ray Allen. Durant has great offensive skills, but his defense is amongst the poorest in the league. He's at the moment a one-sided Basketball player. If he can improve on his defense though, he has a chance at getting mentioned with the G.O.A.T. but I hardly doubt he will be one.

Your talking about his first and second years right? Because Durant's D has really improved this past year.

Durant's a complete player now

Anyone that doesn't think that way,he should watch the World Basketball Championship where Durant put on display his great defense,ability to rebound and is improving passer.His defense will be more than solid in the NBA...

Ray Allen's best year: 25/6/6 shooting 44/35/92
Kevin Durant's third year: 30/8/3 shooting 48/37/90

Kevin Durant still has like 6 years before his prime. Scary thoughts.

fisher>whoever plays the point for miami/no need to explain
kobe>wade/kobe is more clutch,and just the better player imo
lebron>artest/but artest has the ability to shut him down,not saying he will
gasol/bosh>bosh has the edge on points while gasol is better at almost the rest
bynum>whoever/bynum is a rising star

lakers bench>>>>>miami heat bench/cause I said so.

Blake/Fisher > Chalmers/Arroyo (because I don't know who's starting for either team)
Kobe > Wade
Lebron > Artest. Artest will NOT shut down Lebron.
Gasol > Bosh
Bynum > The Heat's 27 centers
Odom > Miller

I think he meant Haslem. Although that is a good question lol.

Sorry, massive amounts of homework + a massive headache + little time =

I don't even know what I was trying to say.

Very possible but too early to decide, look what we said about AI and T-Mac. He's been in the league for 3 years, too early to say anything.

Too early.

I'm not saying he can't, but if you ask me right now which player 25 or under that I think has the best chance at even being the best at his position when it's over:
Dwight, then KD.

Too early for both.

Of course I'd bring in Dwight into this

You thiink dwight?

has a chance at being the best c over chamberlain,hakeem,shaq,russel?

I think Dwight has a better chance vs Wilt, Hakeem, Kareem, Shaq, Malone, and Russell than Durant does vs Bird, Erving, Havlicek, Baylor, Pippen, and Barry
