Kendrick Perkins Says Kevin Durant Is The Greatest Scorer Ever

The Brooklyn Nets may have missed out on the championship this season, that was through no fault of Kevin Durant’s. During the playoffs, Kevin Durant averaged an astounding 34.3 PPG, 9.3 RPG, and 4.4 APG, and managed to take the Milwaukee Bucks to 7 games, despite injuries to both of his co-stars.

While he didn’t necessarily achieve the goal of winning a title with his NBA team, Kevin Durant had an outstanding year. Durant bounced back from his Achilles injury with the Brooklyn Nets, showing that people shouldn’t have doubted his ability. He also led the U.S Men’s national basketball team to yet another Olympic gold, and it was clear that without his consistent scoring the U.S would be in a much tougher position. The most recent development with Kevin Durant was the revelation that he was planning to sign a 4-year $198M extension with the Brooklyn Nets. It is clear that there have been a lot of positive things this year for one of the best players in the league.

When Kevin Durant ends up retiring, the defining attribute that fans will remember him by is his scoring. Kevin Durant’s ability to get his own shot and rise up over most defenders is spectacular, and there are few players who could even think of going bucket for buckets against Kevin Durant by themselves. Kevin Durant is one of the greatest scorers ever, but some consider him at the top of the list. Among their number is Kendrick Perkins, who stated that Kevin Durant is the greatest scorer that has ever played the game.

*The Greatest scorer ever! Carry the hell on… https://t.co/OXMcXQZgVr

Kevin Durant’s scoring will be vital for the Brooklyn Nets next season, and he will likely be the go-to option during clutch moments, as he is the best player on the team. The Brooklyn Nets are viewed as one of the two biggest favorites for the 2021-22 NBA championship, and under Durant’s leadership, perhaps they will win it all.
