    So Kevin Durant and Jeff Green entered the NBA at the same time, right? So why don't we call him Uncle Kev?

    Kevin Durant missed his first 3 shots tonight. Then proceeded to make every shot he took the rest of the game.. amazing

    The best jumpshooter in NBA history alongside the fastest/most athletic player in history and a mini-Jokic.

    What a time to be a Rockets fan.

    KD 0/3 = SMH! Washed
    KD 7/10 = Ultimate Weapon

    I admit I wanted him gone after the first miss.

    He seemed hesitant for sure but I guess that was just him not playing a regular game for an eternity.

    Uncle Jeff had that since he was still a young player, it's more to do with his play style than his actual age at the time I believe. If I remember correctly, he actually got the name from LeBron who said playing him was like when you'd play against your Uncle and he'd just bully you with his fundamentals.

    I'm used to a very high standard for KD. 7 straight? Meh, that's normal for him. But 3 careless TOs? He needs to cut that crap out.

    I'm used to a very high standard for games to nitpick vets

    They need to be meaningful at the very least

    I went to UT the same year as KD. Saw him at Wendy’s one time. Should’ve gotten his autograph then or bought bitcoin. :/
