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.

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.

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

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

[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.

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

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

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

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.
