durant having a historic season http://www.grantland.com/blog/the-triangle/post/_/id/47874/kevin-durant-incredible-offensive-season

Why have you only won one MVP?

Because I played with Shaq. It’s that simple. A lot of the time we cancelled each other out. I sacrificed a lot playing with him. I really did. I did it for the success of the team. If I never played with him, my numbers would have been ridiculous.

I always wanted to see you play Tracy McGrady.

I played T-Mac. I cooked him. Roasted him. Wasn’t even close. Ask him, he’ll tell you. When I was about 20, we were in Germany doing some promotional stuff for that other sneaker company and we played basketball every day. We were in the gym all the time. We played three games of one-on-one to 11. I won all three games. One game I won 11-2. After the third game he said he had back spasms and couldn’t play anymore.

His back bothered him for most of his career.

Well, now you know.

What about Kyrie Irving?

[Huge smile, laugh.] Kyrie’s my boy, but he knows he doesn’t have anything for me. He doesn’t want to see me. But it would be fun. I’ve beaten a lot of guys one-on-one, like Reggie Miller and Grant Hill. I used to play Caron Butler all the time in practice when he was with the Lakers. When I was a rookie I used to get Nick Van Exel and Eddie Jones. They know. They’ll tell you. They used to come at me hard but I wasn’t having that. I love going one-on-one with someone. That’s what I do. I’ve never lost. It’s a whole different game, just to have them right in front of you and be able to do whatever you want.

great stuff kobles

Are you still adding to your game?

At the end of 2003, my game was complete. Shooting, defense, using the dribble, transition, midrange stuff was all there. Then it was about fine-tuning and trying to improve in each area. People think the footwork stuff is new, but I’ve always had great footwork. If you go back and look at film from 10 years ago, it’s all there: up-and-unders, spin moves, everything. I’ve been interested in footwork and how it benefits you since I was 8 or 9 years old. That’s just the way I was taught the game. The technical parts of the game always interested me.

dangerous as fuck

this guy

kobe >

something inside him is broken

History will be kind to me for I intend to trash talk it.

This is one of the greatest offensive seasons in the history of basketball, and the amazing thing is, he’s still not the best player in the league or the MVP.

ha was going to say exactly this

2013 Eastern Conference starters: Rajon Rondo, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony and Kevin Garnett

2013 Western Conference starters: Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin and Dwight Howard

cool that rondo got in. surprised kg is still pulling down that much vote.

its just the east big men have you seen them

so the pistons are totally tanking by not giving drummond more minutes right

theyre middle lottery team

its pob just frank being stubborn abt some rookie thing

so, just play him

or maybe theyre trying to trade someone ahead of him, cant see this going on for too much longer
