Kevin Durant: Kyrie, MJ, and Kobe stand out the most to me in film studies

Interesting comments because, for once, it's not a question of just talking about who the best basketball players are. He's coming at it from an angle I don't hear people talk about much which is, I guess, particular skillsets.

Kyrie is indeed unique, as far as I can see. Sometimes it looks like he's just slapping the ball to a point on the court and then going to get it but he maintains control somehow. The closest I can think of to being able to do what Kyrie does is Manu Ginobili but even he was a notch below.

What's interesting, really interesting is no mention of LBJ.  He even mentions the former teammate, Kyrie.

it sounds like he was watching film to try to copy/integrate moves into his arsenal of offensive moves. You don't need to practice traveling or fouls. 😀

yep he doesn't have the skill, strength, speed, or athleticism to mimic Lebron.

Just like LeBron doesn’t have the skill nor size to mimic KD. Don’t take a joke so seriously lol

I was making a joke.

Sounds like Durant is talking from a technical/polish stand point not from a production/efficacy standpoint.

Kobe is one of the most polished and complete players of all time, but Shaq was a better (greater impact on winning) player.

It's pretty much the pound for pound argument, by which Curry would be considered better than Durant.
