Zach Lowe: Durant should finish as one of the Top 10 ever.

[Suguru101]

On the article regarding how the Thunder will play without Durant, he has this quote when talking about the recovery of the injury:

"God forbid this becomes a chronic issue for a guy who should finish his career as one of the 10 greatest players ever."

What do you guys think? Should somebody with the skills/physical advantages of Durant end up as Top 10 if he's healthy through out his career?

[navy]

Yep.

[aj1987]

Yeah. Hope the kid has better luck than Wade with injuries.

[fpliii]

He has that potentially for sure I'd say, but the top 10 is getting pretty crowded...

[Reef]

I think he'll finish as the all-time leading scorer.

[RidonKs]

durant won't win enough championships to crack the top 10, league is too stacked atm and will be for the foreseeable future... maybe if he goes to houston or somewhere similar i suppose but even then

[Fudge]

Highest ceiling is Top 10, imo. I think he'll at least be Top 15... Around the Dr J's and Moses Malone's.

[r0drig0lac]

will not be top 10, just because the top 10 is absurdly insane, but he will certainly be the greatest scorer to play the game

2-3?

Who is he better than out of (in no order):

Jordan
Russell
Wilt
Duncan
KAJ
Hakeem
LeBron
Shaq
Bird
Magic

No one. All of those guys are pretty clearly better.

and halfway through all their careers people probably threw out top-10 lists and said the same shit (except for Wilt and Russell who played before anyone cared)

[Cold soul]

I highly doubt it the top 10 is so crowded right now who would you take off? I'd say top 15-20 sounds more reasonable.

[SHAQisGOAT]

I don't want to "count him out", dude's an amazing player and still pretty young, but that's EXTREMELY tough.

He's pretty much Larry Bird 2.0..

With 5 rings he will easily be top 10
