Why the **** is this dude getting at least 15 fts a game? I really hope they don't give him all those calls in the playoffs man :facepalm
He a beast though man...he's treating NBA players like they're amateurs. I be watching this dude like when the hell is he gon miss? :biggums:
I don't know if I can say LeBron is better than him anymore. They're 1A and 1B, and this is coming from a LeBron stan. This shit so hard to admit :cry:

How do you guard someone with the quickness and handles of a point guard but the height of a center?
Play off him and let him shoot open jumpers all night, or crowd him and let him drive by OR foul him before he gets a layup off.
He has too many physical gifts. It's easier for him. Face the facts.

Lebron > Durant + Freethrows

He's too good and people have to foul him to prevent an easy basket.
Of course that the touching fouls are a league problem and not just KD's, knowing that and being very good drawing fouls he takes advantage of it.
Nothing wrong about that.

Simple. The MO for playing defense against Durant used to be to d him up physically and try and get him off of his game through strength and moving him around the court to spots where he wasn't comfortable. But as he's gotten better he's learned how to use the physical defense played against him to draw fouls on defenders.

Actually he's only had 10 FTA/game
That equals to only about 1-2 fouls/quarter.

He's getting the same treatment Lebron did while in Cleveland. Although, Lebron attacked way more than KD does.

People do know Durant takes all the violation fts too right? Any 3 second or technical he takes so he is not really getting that much has the stat say.

you do know he's such a good scorer that guys try to play aggressive on him and end up fouling him. Should they just stop calling fouls because he's reached this invisible limit on how many times its acceptable to go to the line?

Too hard to guard, he's skinny as hell, dude slips through defenders like they're loose pu55y.

Also, him being so skinny any contact will be highly noticeable. Best bet for a defender is deny him the ball by being physical with him and let Westbrook or tragic bronson jack up shots.

Exactly , he gets every call there is. Not to put a knock on his game but it does play a huge factor when scoring as many points as he does.

FITTY ONE POINTS, TWEV REBZ, SEVN AST....
I think if someone gets 50 they can have 20 FTs. It's just when dudes are like 4-19 15-15 that I get pissed.

In the history of the NBA I have never seen a player get as many free throws off jump shots like Durant. You cannot even graze his jersey without a whistle. Dude is already ridiculously skilled at scoring, you don't have to exaggerate it NBA..damn.

reminds me of Dirk... tall shooters savvy enough to draw lots of fouls
used to get frustrated watching a jump shooter, through and through, get to the line so much via ticky tack fouls.
remember in 06 playoffs when he got off 24 FTA, almost as much as the entire Spurs team :facepalm
Both are very skilled, elite, players though.. no doubt... yet there's something irking about it the ease of which fouls can be drawn.
