The Brooklyn Nets have made every impression inside the bubble. The Nets are now 7-2 in the seeding games, with only one more left in their schedule. However, it will be an absolute disappointment for the Nets fans that their superstar signing Kevin Durant will not be playing in the new start of the NBA. Who wouldn’t want KD to come back and get those bowls like he always does ?!
Kevin Durant was unable to line up in time for the Nets for the resurgence of the NBA. While the bubble games are going in full stream, KD is out in Brooklyn for sneakers with Cool Kicks! Yes, the Nets star waited out for several sneaker stores along with the entourage of Cool Kicks members.
While the cool kicks guys remained absolutely enthusiastic through the video, KD just looked like he wanted to be done with his shopping and leave. However, a few interviews had to be made along with some advice.
While they were done with their first sneaker stop, a person from the store reminded them about playing in an AAU game, where Kevin Durant was also present. In addition, the Cool Kicks boys also asked him to inform KD about who he thinks is the greatest basketball player of all time.
“LeBron James!” he exclaimed, to which Durant remained unmoved. The two-time champion did not want to give an elaborate answer and just left it at that, “That’s idiot.”
When KD checked out of the store and paid for his purchases, another discussion arose that we feel is an interesting idea for a debate. Who’s the best score in the NBA in recent years? We have two picks: Kevin Durant and James Harden.
Kevin Durant vs. James Harden: Two of the most efficient scorers in the modern game
I consider myself lucky as a witness to a player like Kevin Durant playing his game. The best thing about KD is his behavior on the court. He just has this winning mentality about him and there is a reason why his Instagram handle is mentioned, “Easymoneysniper!”
On the other hand, the NBA has yet to respond to James Harden’s brilliance. ‘The Beard’ keeps up the points with his effortless plays. While it may seem effortless, it really is not. A combination of error-free ball handling and speed makes him unstoppable.
It’s really hard to believe that KD and Harden were once teammates at OKC. They even made it to the Finals in 2012, where they were easily beaten by the Miami Heat. But who was the highest score in the finals?
A 24-year-old Kevin Durant averages 30.6 points per game in the five-game series. It is indeed a mind-boggling number, considering he outscored LeBron James, who is lifting the championship that year. James Harden, on the other hand, averaged only 12.4 in the series, but he was not ‘It Baard’ once upon a time!
Harden is currently really evolving as the best scorer in the league. Moreover, he is clearly on track to pick up his third straight scoring title, an achievement that was only achieved by KD in the 21st century.
In his best performance in the regular season, Kevin Durant averaged 32.0 PPG, which was in the NBA season 2013-14. As for Harden, his 2018-19 record was regularly above all expectations. A 36.1 PPG in a regular season is really a number that defines his natural scoring ability.
Michael Jordan has won ten scoring titles in his career. But even MJ has managed to go above the 35.0 PPG mark only once. Thus, Harden deserves a lot of credit for his achievements. It’s a very interesting topic for a debate, considering what Durant and Harden have achieved so far in their careers. Who did you get as the best score in the modern history of the game?
