I think so… has a ridiculously accurate jumper. KD, Nash and Bird are the only three players to have multiple 50-40-90 seasons (two for KD and Bird… but Nash had four which is fucking insane).

That shot to end the half way unreal. As good as KD has been, embiid looks equally bad. I don’t know if Kerr can afford to keep playing him

Embiid looks lost out there. Maybe he picks it up in the second half.

And Halliburton. Embiid really struggled.

Prolific Scorer with an all-time great (all-around) Shooting game... it's just too bad KD (like LeFraud) couldn't win anything without a Super Team around him.

"Lebron doesn’t guard for a full game and our game plan was to get him to play defense and he left me open all game."

I've said it a few times, but in terms of pure scoring skills, I think Durant is the best in NBA history if you make no era adjustment.

Even with era adjustment, it's basically him or Jordan

And robust against playoff defenses, which is not always the case with top-tier players.

Amazing stuff.
