    His off ball game took a huge leap during his warriors run and his ball possession time dropped as well. He picks his spots, knows how to get to it, and nearly everyone is too small or too slow as a big to keep up or stop it so he pretty much does whatever he wants.

    The most impressive thing about KD is that in his career, he always was the best player of his teams. Doesn’t matter if he plays with Westbrook, if he plays with Curry, if he plays with Harden, if he plays with Irving, if he plays with Booker. At the end of the day, Durant always was „the guy“ on his teams. That shows his quality.
