I don't think KD cares about the 60, he just wants to win and knows it's better to get his teammates going. Now Kyrie is the type to focus on 60 and then he'll miss 20 shots in the next game.

“He was just playing a different game then the rest of us. He let us play but he was there to win the game.” - BJ Armstrong on MJ KD is truly on the highest level for basketball IQ

I respect that KD and Bron at this stages in their careers are comfortable talking about how good they are.

Amazing how honest he is

This goes to show how unselfish KD is. He could have had multiple 60 point games, but the man makes the right basketball play and rarely just takes bad shots. Also a testament to why he is so damn efficient (averages over 52% FG shooting from mostly Jump shots)

Respect he's talking about being efficient

I agree with him on the point that he gets treated much differently by teams since slowing him down is much more different and difficult than other players but not all of those 50-60 games have players having the same looks. Some times it is just them being unstoppable and making some shots that they shouldn’t be making. Best examples would probably be Dame last year in game 5 with 55 and that 61 against the Mavs, Kawhi against Philly game 7. He didn’t score 50 but in that series in general him getting 35 plus 4 of those games with the way they were sending bodies at him matches that description. LeBron’s games in 2018 in the playoffs. I mean teams were adjusting but sometimes those players getting those shots off, even though defense played as good as they they, is enough for them to go for that much.

KD ain't selfish enough. He should be more selfish. He could bring his game up some more but I doubt he has the energy to do it. It's easy to say so and so only takes so and so many shots, but in hoops you gotta manage your energy, and Jordan had an abundance of it. Durant is playing at an insanely high level, but could he physically and mentally take it up a notch? We don't know, and I doubt it. Everything becomes a bit harder, the more you do it in the same amount of time. It's like watching elite sprinters. They could keep up with Usain Bolt for like 60 m but they couldn't for the full 100. Usain did more in less time across the same distance.

@twcgoat4761

Well a lot of this has to do with it being different eras and the rise in 3 point shooting, it is easier to score more on less attempts if you are taking substantially more 3s. Jordan only attempted 1.7 threes a game for his career where as kd attempts 4.9 a game. Not trying to detract from what KD does just giving context.

His explanation is kind of ambiguous because those players that go and get 60, 70 etc., also have to deal with those “adjustments” that the other team and coach makes when they see a player getting hot.

Hey JJ can we get a harden podcast?

Dope episode

No way yall got KD on the podcast! Lets goooo!! Drop the full version!!

Lol I get what KD saying but other players are playing vs. in-game adjustments too

Dropping 40+ on like 19-22 shots is way more impressive to me than 50+ on like close to 40

It is amazing he learned to pass or understand when to, cause back in OKC he was a ball stopper on offence, I wonder how much was film and how much was having teammates you could trust in GSW. Now he just needs to take his foot work to the next level, and keep it behind the line. Playoffs going to be real interesting with the Nets as a low seed.

What really impressed me on KD he never hesitate

Ok KD is long overdue for a Pardon My Take interview.

Lol. In the last 10 years the best player is LBJ. It’s not close. He’s the best player over the past 15 years. Other than Curry that’s the list.

I love KD but this response is corny - he’s acting as if someone like Kobe (who scored 60+ multiple times) “never got adjusted to”. The problem with Durant at times is that he’s not always hungry to chase the ball and his offense - Kobe and MJ would cut off ball, fake back door, seal, etc. so they would get the damn ball. KD puts his hand up on the perimeter and if he gets denied for 2-3 seconds, then he just stands around

@@matthewelmore6567 he didn't mention Kobe. He mentioned the guys who have scored 60 in today's game. He's right. Go back and watch those 60 pt games and you'll see a lot of open 3s and 25 fta's.

Ok, so I'm slightly confused on KDs explanation for why he hasn't dropped 60 yet. Is he implying that teams don't make adjustments for other stars that are getting off? That's a bad take. I've seen teams double and triple Curry AND Harden to a lesser extent in his prime while still going off for 60 or whatever. KD is top 3 scorer of all time. But that was weak IMO, I need a better explanation than that from one of the greatest scorers of all time..

KD listens to Kenny mason and this was a dope interview. new fan

Aside from his game dude is just relax and cool af

Kd biggest flaw is he wasn’t a volume shooter. He could’ve gave us a season close to 38ppg if he committed to nothing but scoring.

Thanks for the tease bruh

His explanation of how teams make adjustments to keep him from scoring 60 points makes me appreciate players like Kobe, Lebron and Steph that much more

Spoken as someone who really plays within rhythm and in the system can make about any shot on the court but would rather make the right play and not go for the glory

KD wants the glory. Maybe not as much as in his younger years. But he wants the glory. I can't imagine there is any player that works as hard as he does daily. Who doesn't care about the glory and recognition.

Kd actually made me think and understand why certain players will have these great 50+ games if the other team feels there's no need to stop them and can still get a W they sometimes won't put the pressure needed to stop the player who's hot and we've seen great players have career highs and lose like Trae Young 56pts and Devin Booker 70pts

Every once and a while, I'll see someone comment about KD having a "quiet" 30+ or 40+ game. this is probably why. You can watch an entire game live, see he's doing well, then still be surprised at the end when you see how many points and shot attempts he has.

I disagree with him saying the adjustments don’t change from opposing coaches. Perfect example of that is Steph. They trap Steph from the jump because of who he is and that’s before he even shoots the ball. If you watched the NBA last year you would have seen him getting guarded by 3 guys sometimes. The main reason he don’t get 60 is because he doesn’t shoot enough. He likes to get to his spots but sometimes you have to just make a spot like Steph, Klay, Dame, book etc The funny thing is he is capable of dropping 80 If he wanted to.
