KD is shooting a career and NBA season best of 52.2%!

Next highest is Isaiah Joe from OKC at 51.8%

What the hell. And this guy is from a guy being doubled and triple teamed shooting fadeaway 3s with a defender all over him.

Hes really going to go from the best midrange scorer in the NBA to best three point scorer at this rate.

          Honestly it usually comes as a counterjerk to Durant. He got it with Steph/Harden and last year it was Booker. Initially in every thread giving those guys praise folks had to add in something along the lines of “By GSW/BKN/PHX’s best player”

          It’s being flipped now but that’s how it started.

          Tbh, it was just like this but much worse and in reverse in the playoffs last year. They’re both great and either can be the best for any game or stretch of games.

      Cringe comment. KD wasn’t winning shit without Book on this team and that’s still the case, they’re 14-1 together in the regular season

        That should be the case when playing against healthier playoff teams while your team is missing 2 supermax players and for the 3 games Beal played he wasn’t good, not close to all-star level. Apart from the one loss to the Spurs since the 2nd one came with Booker, every loss in that stretch were to playoff teams healthier than the Suns

        Nikola Jokic without Murray hasn’t won shit in past years and is below .500 without him for 8 games this season, and that’s with only one supermax missing instead of the two the Suns were missing for 5 games before the 3 games with a hampered restricted Beal.

        Shocking that having a second healthy star helps the team a lot because it’s not only about their production but also that it slots all the role players down a spot and into their actual proper roles. Murray isn’t the best nor most important player for Denver but without him and only Jokic they’re still mid and not winning shit
