With his size and agility he should have made at least a couple all-defense teams.

[@raulmelo5881]

He deserved one the year of the repeat w the warriors and also the season he after , he was playing great team defense

[@tzodearf2596]

KD is the smoothest scorer ever. Sometimes it doesn't seem like he's in the game but has 35 points.

[@mikexciv6781]

This the best way it can be described. I went to a game a few years ago when he was in BKN and he had the quietest 51 I ever seen in my life

[@kaospat4173]

his long arms are one the reasons he is so skilled...on a cross he can bring the ball out super far which helps to make the defender think you will actually go that direction and nobody can reach the ball..but when he crosses it over ,because of his long arms, the ball is lower to the ground..because of his long arms he can dribble lower to the ground in general..its just as much as an advantage as if he is shooting but in that case its the other way around ...nobody can reach his release point

Talking about this with my boys the other day. How do you begin to stick this guy? 6'11 or so unlimited range, handle like a guard. Not ego driven, Willing passer. He's not what I would call the best player ever, but I would say he's the most unguardable ever.

[@splxrrg0d998]

yah KD is definitely up there. in terms of the absolute power to score, my list goes mj, kb, kd, tmac, kareem, dream, bird, curry, shaq (don’t know how to rank wilt, he was too special and not gonna rank the new generation like wenbabyama, let’s see) if ball is in the hands of any of those i ranked, u know u got a basket.

Why KD gets flak for it when LeBron did it 3x over is beyond me.

[@jdrmanmusiqking]

Kyrie Irving was what everyone THINKS KD is.

[@spectralnighttravel]

He's a great scorer and a nightmare to guard, but dude did not have the Mamba mentality. Come on, that's ridiculous. He was part of choking a 3-1 WCF lead on a 73-9 team, and then joined them in the off-season? Salary cap jumped thay off-season, and the Warriors didn't really give anything up by adding him. Weakest NBA move ever.

[@ILiketurtles68]

I'd argue Wemby is the the best 7ft+ ballhandler already.

[@Erick-1130]

Cap he dont got no handle like kd

[@gioelecarparelli6193]

Not even close honestly. KD is miles above when talking about ball handling and literally anything else too

Bro, I don’t care about anything. Dude would have been ringless. The warriors saved him point blank points period. Yes, he can score the ball, but he is not all that. Stop gassing someone that had to join a team that beat him year prior bro, he was up 3-1 on the Warriors. He value is not all that.

He might go down as top 3 ever. These dudes keep getting better Luka now this

[@kkkjkk641]

I think KD is another level in quickness and agility. And speaking about 7 footers in general - what about all those greats from the past like Shaq, Kareem, hakeem, David Robinson, Tim Duncan, Nowitzki, Garnett etc. Wemby is a phenom with his combination of length, agility and coordination but to be the best 7 footer ever, he has a long long way to go... Wemby has unlimited potential but in comparison, he has not accomplished much in the league. People tend to overlook the players from the past.
