Will Kevin Durant go down as the 2nd greatest perimeter scorer ever?

[TyroneNBAFan]

Dude has it ALL. No weaknesses what so ever as a scorer.

I've never seen anything like him. The best way I can describe him is a longer/taller/more efficient version of Tracy McGrady.

I think he has another solid 8-9 years at this level as a scorer (28ppg on great efficiency) and probably 5+ more scoring titles minimum.

I think he'll go down (baring injury) as the 2nd greatest perimeter scorer of all time behind Michael Jordan.

Also, I feel like he's on the verge of a 1993-1995 Hakeem Olajuwon type run. Hakeem flew under the radar for much of his career and then went on a dominant 3 year run where he finished with an MVP, 2 incredibly dominant playoff runs and 2FMVP's. I think Durant, after being overshadowed by Lebon for so long will break through and have a run like this. He's already the front runner for MVP so far this season.

After this I think people will look at this guy and his body of work and realize he's a top 15 player all time (or on his way to it).

Ok end semi-rant.

[Black and White]

He absolutely can go down and one of the best scorers ever, as can alot of players, hes a beast with his size etc.

As far at that Hakeem style run tho, i don't see it happening.

[branslowski]

When he has 4 straight 50pt games like Kobe, holla at me..

[TheReal Kendall]

I could see it happening but not the Hakeem type run though

[TheReal Kendall]

When he has 4 straight 50pt games like Kobe, holla at me..

So you saying Kobe is the 2nd greatest perimeter scorer? :oldlol:

[Jameerthefear]

no.

[Sarcastic]

He has a chance.

I think it goes without saying that he is the GOAT perimeter player at drawing fouls and getting to the line.

[CavaliersFTW]

Jerry West trumps everyone not named MJ in perimeter scoring where it mattered most - the playoffs/Finals.

I ain't hollin' at sht.

I don't fck with lil' btch @ss stan boys.

Whoa, relax man, no need to get angry here, just stick to the topic.

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Hes already tied with Kobe for 2nd and he has better scoring numbers in the playoffs than Kobe he just needs more runs

[Black and White]

I disagree, he is not tied with Kobe yet, not even close, give him at least 2 years to get into that conversation.

[Scholar]

Shit.. George Gervin can be overshadowed THAT quickly?
Is he even recognized as a top scorer of all-time any more?
I think Durant has what it takes to do it, but . . .

[Fudge]

Most definitely will. Probably THE greatest when its all said and done.

Come on bruh.

People don't remember that dude.

Matter of fact I think this the first time I've seen somebody mention The Iceman on ISH :facepalm

[Marchesk]

ISH doesn't care about anyone from the 70s not named Jabbar. It's kind of weird. 60s and 80s greats get repped, but rarely do you hear anything about 70s players. There is an occasional shout out to Dr J or question about how great M. Malone actually was. But that's about it. It'ls almsot like it's the 50s. Iceman gets as much love as Arizin on here.

There's not THAT much Gervin did in his career scoring wise that Durant hasn't already matched or will surpass.

He was a great scorer, but Durant probably has overshadowed him.

Iverson and Wade need mentions too.

[L.Kizzle]

Iverson and Wade need mentions too.
Forgot Iverson, I'll leave Wade out.

If you add Wade, you'l have to add the likes of Arenas, Adrian Dantley, Drexler, Mullin, ect. Basically anyone who avg over 27 ppg.

[Odinn]

Jordan. Then West&Kobe. Then maybe he can end up in top 5.

His career high in a playoff series is 32.5 ppg yet. You can not be 2nd greatest perimeter scorer ever with these kinda averages. He should prove himself in the playoffs with much higher volume.

[moe94]

What? Wade's career scoring average and efficiency is as good as anyone. :biggums:

Wade and Dantley both have scoring titles, though. Plus, Wade has had some good/great playoff scoring series too. He's definitely in a tier of great perimeter scorers, IMO.

I had no idea LeBron was going to go play baseball after this season.....:lol
But in all seriousness Durant is an incredible scorer. Will he go down as a better scorer than MJ? Probably not? But it's possible. Kobe on the other hand... I see Durant passing him as a better( more efficient ) scorer. Guy is a treat to watch.:applause:

[Young X]

He's already one of the best scorers in NBA history. Name 10 scorers better than KD. Jordan, KAJ, Wilt....

[branslowski]

I ain't hollin' at sht.

I don't fck with lil' btch @ss stan boys.

Or you can holla at me in Florida and I'll be sure to put dat fire to yo ass playboy. Don't get da ISH username twisted homie.

You definitely weren't around for his career. Ever hear of Phi Slama Jama? He was runner up for rookie of the year and was part of the famed Twin Towers with him and Sampson. He went to the finals his second year in the league and his totally dismantled the Lakers in the WCF.

That's a great list and I think u got the most unstoppable scorers. U later mentioned u left off AI and I agree with his inclusion. I think might seriously consider Larry Legend for that list too.

Agreed, if you make a list like that you have to include Bird, he was one of the greatest scorers of all time, and if it wasn't for his back...... who knows how much more he would have done

[And1AllDay]

Durant certainly has the ability to do so. His playoff rurns will help mold his legacy.
