If i you cut the games played requirement to, let’s say, four (meaning any player who made one trip to the finals and played in each game qualifies), does this hold true? Because 10 games player feels very arbitrary to me, and basically limits the pool to those players who’ve made 2-3 finals which is very, very few to begin with.
r/KevinDurant
People will bring up Curry gravity when KD averaged 31ppg in 2012 finals with 65% TS while Westbrook and Harden were building brick mansions
What about at least 23.4 PPG on 54/38.7/93.2 shooting in the Finals?
Now what if you remove all the Finals series where he wasn’t playing second fiddle to Stephen Curry
I’m gonna make the list this season
This would be impressive if he was able to convert these into real rings.
Why isn’t Steve Nash or Larry Bird on here wth
KD still can’t win as the team leader, doesn’t have it.
Boring, I’m never going to enjoy anything KD Warriors related
Players that have averaged at least 30 chick fil a nuggets/championship ring-Giannis-end of list. Giannis actually averages 50 nugs/ring.
Bragging that 20ppg was a generous criteria while cherry picking the min 10 games played mark is pretty bogus.
Yet Steph fans think he’s on KD’s tier. Comical.
CP3 just did it last year in the finals.
Someone pull up the video of KD uncontested transition dunk vs the Cavs haha
Did KD post this
We get it, KD can put a ball in a hoop more times than not.
found KDs reddit account
Wow he’s just such a great player, it’s amazing to think where he’d be if he didn’t get handed 2 titles playing with one of the greatest assembled teams in NBA history.
Not as impressive as it seems when you consider his supporting cast was two of the best shooters of all time and one of the best defensive players of all time.
[Apparently only 4 of Statmuse’s top finals scorers averaged 40%+](https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/nba-finals-stats-top-scorers):
* Hakeem at 100% lol
* Anfernee Hardaway shot 50/45/91 over 4 games
* KD at 55/45/91
* Anthony Davis (!) at 57/42/94 over 6 games
Minimum 10 finals games really narrows the field
it’s nice to play with steph
