Is Durant even 6-9? I've seen so many reports of Durant actually being 6-11, and his head was almost above the rim with that dunk but he doesn't have an outstanding vertical (just 33 inches).
in one angle it looks well above the rim. i never thought he had much ups but that was a nasty dunk. if only he had some meat on his bones to knock the defender down instead of being bounced to the ground.
Considering he was only 18 when entered the draft, its feasible that he is 6'11. He often does look like the tallest person on the court.
The good thing for Brooks is Westbrook wasn't the only starter that didn't play in the 4th. If he had been the only starter benched I think then I would worry about losing him mentally.
You guys are crazy to say KD isn't a superstar. Two time leading scorer, makes fantastic plays on any part of the floor. He averages a steal and a block per game? Their are only 6 real superstars in this league. Lebron, Kobe, Wade, Durant, Dwight Howard, and Derrick Rose. Why are they superstars? Because they can put the team on there back and finish games, and they are the focal point of every defensive game plan.
^ What he said...KD is a superstar... Agreed...but I kept thinking but him back in, but the Brooks has to make a point and it will pay off...
s. First round playoff is still playoff in that loser goes home. In that sense, Tmac's dunk is no less significant than Durant's. Your winning-is-all is too extreme, at least for individual plays on merits. Let's just judge the dunks on the merit. <iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/5OHUAjxPo4I" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
how? bradley pretty much didn't challenge tmac's dunk and durant took off further from the basket and was fouled hard.
A real superstar doesn't fail to win a playoff series for 5 different teams and get paid as the top tier player. A real superstar doesn't get booed by his former teams.
