Kevin Durant Selected The Best Player In 5 Categories: He Was Scared Of Kobe In Clutch Moments, Steph Is Above Anyone Else

Rodriguez: "Best shooter? Best natural shooter you've played against?"

Durant: "Steph was the best natural shooter, but he's at the point now where you can't even include him in shooting conversations because it's like, he's the one and we're gonna talk about the rest. I would say Steve Novak was a great natural shooter. Like that's all he probably did as a kid."

Rodriguez: "Best handler?"

Durant: "Kyrie Irving."

Rodriguez: "Best rebounder?"

Durant: "There's a tie between Dennis Rodman and Andre Drummond."

Rodriguez: "Best defender?"

Durant: "Tony Allen."

Rodriguez: "And the best clutch money player?"

Durant: "Kobe. I was scared s**tless of Kobe late in games." 

He selected excellent players there. It was a good argument for Curry and Novak as great shooters, while others like Kyrie Irving and Tony Allen didn't need a lengthy explanation. As for the most clutch player, Durant didn't say anything new. Kobe Bryant enjoyed the challenge of taking over late in games. He was one of the best at that, leaving a big impression on those who watched him play. 

Now, KD has a case in at least three of these categories. He's a 7-footer with guard-like handles, something that gives him a big advantage over defenders. Durant has mastered this art over the next couple of seasons, while also working on his shooting skills. As for clutchness, he can make big shots when nobody else wants the ball. 

Even though he mentioned seven players who can do these things at the highest level, Durant is excellent at doing at least three of them. That's how you know this man is a special talent.
