For A Super Star, Durant is One of the Worst Defenders Ever

[SilkkTheShocker]

Another reason why he will never be the face of the NBA. Just an utterly atrocious defender. One of the worst on his own team

[Akrazotile]

Defense isnt a requirement for the media to overrate you with a superstar label. See: Kobe Bryant

Taking difficult shots while superior players carry your team to wins is. See: Kobe, Durant

[Fudge]

DPOYrant the past few games.

[Trollsmasher]

He and Harden are the worst help defenders in the league

He is a solid man to man defender, but only against offensively inept opponents

his only good defense is keeping you away from his **** on a daily basis.

switched onto cp3, crawford, or griffin and generally did a good job on them.

not like lebron where joe johnson is taking his ass to school on every possession :oldlol:

Dude has defended CP3, Griffin, Crawford, Barnes, Marc Gasol so far in the playoffs and done a good job. That's DPOY shit.

didn't Lebron get torched by Jason Terry, Joe Johnson, JJ Barea, among others, who were all smaller than him?

Nate Robinson too. :lol

[Im Still Ballin]

That Lebron steal game winning play was epic, one of the great play-off moments in modern history.

Agreed. :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

Durant needs refs to let him get away with murder like the refs will do for bran on defense.

Only then, will he be a good defender. I remember 2012, they were calling Durant for touch fouls on Mario Chalmers. MARIO FCKING CHALMERS :oldlol:

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Hes very good on ball but his off ball rotations is where he struggles sometimes.

[DCL]

saves his energy for offense

bad defenders tend to foul a lot :confusedshrug:

I wouldn't call him bad. I'd say he's about average with potential to be above average. Gets lost on picks, but he was committed last night and Jamal Crawford couldn't do his silly crossovers on him :bowdown:

A lot of fouls they called on him in 2012 Finals were offensive fouls with him battling Wade for position.
You can't call those on a Superstar :coleman:

[HoopsFanNumero1]

His IQ when it comes to defense is one of the worst I've ever seen. Seriously, he was committing some of the dumbest reach-in fouls in '12 Finals. I thought he finally improved this season until I saw him doing the same shit in the Grizzlies series.
