Re: Kevin Durant playing at Rucker Park today
[QUOTE=DuMa]when did kevin get an arc reactor installed?[/QUOTE]
Haha.
Also, was that triple in the video clips (where the crowd comes onto the floor) at the end of the game? Or did they just really like his range? Looks like a lot of fun out there, an experience, a show.

Kobe, MJ and Lebron never came close to this.
Clearly, KD=GOAT

Re: Durant video at Rucker is sick! Durant = playground GOAT
The legend is growing.
I was sort of wondering what was going on when I was just seeing clips of that last triple in other videos. I was like, "why are the rushing the floor after a triple?" Oh, it was his fourth in a minute. Now it's so clear.
Except, was it 56 or 66? It looked like the announcer was saying "Fifty Three!"

Re: Durant video at Rucker is sick! Durant = playground GOAT
lmao.
He fits the Rucker game perfectly.
1 guy dribbles down the court, doesn't pass, does a few cross-overs for show, jacks up a 30 footer.
Difference is, he makes them.

Re: Kevin Durant played at Rucker Park, 66 points!
That would be super annoying to me if people mobbed the court after every nice play. WTF
Nice range by KD on the threes. He's starting is MVP campaign right now and hopefully for him, he doesn't get Derrick-Rosed in November again lol

Re: Kevin Durant played at Rucker Park, 66 points!
Mad balla right there. Of course he's a NBA player and there not even close to that level, but there still athletes and dropping 28 in one quarter is dropping 28 in one quarter no matter how you settle it. He was feeling it during that last barrage of three pointers and you just know if anyone in the NBA could make it rain like that in Rucker Park like he was 2 feet from the basket, it would be Durant.
:bowdown:

a lot of the criticisms of this being no defense streetball(like youtube comments) are weak tho. Durant would've made those shots in the NBA since nobody is blocking or really makes him shoot over them from 3 in the NBA either.
it was probably the angle of the camera but i swear those 3's looked longer than NBA 3's too.

Re: Durant video at Rucker is sick! Durant = playground GOAT
He just showed the difference between the NBA and streetball. His J is so wet.

Re: Durant video at Rucker is sick! Durant = playground GOAT
When he's that hot you cant stop him. Too fast to trap coming up the floor, too tall to bother his shot.

Re: Durant video at Rucker is sick! Durant = playground GOAT
He was putting a similar show on the world championships playing against real professionals on games that actually mattered.Yet he seems to enjoy shooting over random streetballers more.Look how he celebrates..i don't get it tbh.

At its essence, basketball is a game we likely all begin playing for fun. On a 2038402840298 times smaller scale, I had fun when I did something awesome during a real actual game that mattered with thousands of fans observing. However, it can often be nearly as satisfying to show out in front of fellow community members in an impromptu street setting.
To be real, I wouldn't mind having 20,000 people cheering for me in the NBA conference finals. But I sure as heck wouldn't mind absolutely dominating in a highly respected, intimate street environment either. I say why not celebrate? It's great to be great. Have fun. Give everyone a show. Create a legend at the park. Give hundreds of people a story they'll be telling for years. I loved watching it.
Here's an extended clip covering much more of the game (including another absolute bomb with three defenders circling him a few steps inside half court):

Re: Kevin Durant played at Rucker Park, 66 points!
66 is still 66. But watching footage of it? The defenders just watched him. Now make no mistake about it. Its hard to guard Durant as an NBA player. We've seen that. But the effort of the defenders was poor. Kinda felt like a charity game where you dont play too agressive on defense. Durant basically was shooting around like he would in a gym, only the difference here is people were on the court. 66 is still 66 and he excited the crowd in the process. Thats a win.
I've also seen footage of Durant in other parks. He basically just comes down the court and jacks up shots. Not to imply he is a chucker but explaining how he tends to score. Come down, shoot and defend. Come down, shoot and defend. He uses more energy defending than he does scoring. Effortless jumpers time and time again. Now every 6'10 or bigger kid will want to shoot like Durant. :facepalm

Doesnt matter if dude is 9 feet tall.. when you can stroke it like Ron Jeremy, people are gonna wanna do it, myself included.
Dude has the sweetest stroke Ive ever seen.. its a mix of Ray Allen's consistency with Larry Bird's fearlessness... dont forget he's also incorporated the prime tmac Pullup Three. He is insane and only getting better.
Srsly, Durant looks like he shoots 10,000 jumpers a day. :bowdown:

Durant is a mixture of George Gervin (one dimensonal) + T-Mac + Dirk Nowitzki

Re: Kevin Durant played at Rucker Park, 66 points!
Still not sure why this is a big deal. Durant could score 100 against those guys if he really wanted. These are street ball games. He should be averaging 50.

Pretty much.It would be something if he didn't score that much with that type of play.
