Basketball and BeyondKevin Durant’s Legacy and FutureAn excerpt from this
basketball biography book:Basketball has many facets at which a player can
excel. There have been excellent rebounders such as Wilt Chamberlain, Moses
Malone, and Dennis Rodman, among others. The NBA has also seen its share of
passing wizards in the form of Magic Johnson, John Stockton, Jason Kidd, and
Steve Nash. When all else failed, some defenders stopped at nothing to deprive
opposing teams of baskets. Players such as Bill Russell, Joe Dumars, Dikembe
Mutombo, and Gary Payton excelled at that aspect of the game. However, no
matter how many ways a player can affect a game of basketball, scoring was
always the name of the game. No other player could do that better than Kevin
Durant. Standing over 6’10” and a great wingspan, Kevin Durant has the height
and length born to score baskets inside the paint. However, Durant was also
blessed with the athleticism, grace, footwork, and handling that made him an
even greater threat with the ball in his hands out on the perimeter. He has
the size of a center but could move like a shooting guard on the floor. And
with the addition of his ability to hit unguardable jump shots and his stone-
cold mentality of hitting bucket after bucket, Kevin Durant was a born prodigy
at putting the ball through the hoop. In that aspect, he is also very
efficient as demonstrated by his shooting percentages. Did you enjoy this
