Kevin Durant is considered to be a great NBA player because of his incredible scoring ability. He is also a good defender and decent passer of the ball. Durant is one of the most unique players in NBA history, there is no other player who possesses his ability to shoot, dribble, attack, and finish all at a height nearing 7 feet.

He is one of the best pure shooters in history. Born September 29,1988, KD is an offensive machine, and having the ability to create his own shot, and his huge frame, he is almost impossible to guard. Kevin can shoot from almost anywhere on the court, and he can give you a lot of points every single night. He has a great inside as well as outside game and is probably as close as you can get to match Larry Bird’s scoring abilities.

Playing as a small forward, Durant’s driving and finishing ability are enhanced by his jump-shooting skills. Durant is also very tough to guard when he puts the ball on the floor. He can shoot over anybody due to his height and high release, he can finish around the basket and he is a very consistent free-throw shooter with an average of 88% which is very impressive.

Being a player of his size it is not easy to score three-pointers, but the Durantula is also a fantastic scorer of that with an average of 38%. It is said that, Durant handles the ball like Allen Iverson, shoots like Dirk Nowitzki, and has the scoring instincts of Kobe Bryant.

He was selected as the NBA MVP in 2014 for his phenomenal performances with the Oklahoma City Thunder and his four scoring titles stand out to prove that he is one of the best scorers in the NBA today (only four other players have accomplished such feat). He is the youngest player in history to win an NBA scoring title at age of 21 years, 197 days.

His move to join the Warriors was received negatively by the fans, but still, it turned out a major success for Durant and GSW as his inclusion made them back to back NBA Champions and KD winning the Finals MVP on both occasions. The Warriors are also in strong contention to complete three-peat this year. We can expect him to keep knocking down baskets from anywhere on the floor with his sublime scoring skills.
