00:00The story here is Kevin Durant in the loss.
00:04He becomes the eighth player in NBA history
00:08to reach 30,000 points.
00:10Look at these names, Scotty, that he joins.
00:11LeBron, Kareem, Karl Malone, Kobe, Jordan,
00:15Dirk Nowitzki, and Will Chamberlain.
00:18Kevin Durant now sitting among those legends
00:21on the NBA leaderboard.
00:23I mean, it's really impressive.
00:26It's just as simple as that.
00:28He can flat out score from anywhere.
00:30I've always thought his two favorite shots
00:33were the wing, dagger, and the elbow.
00:37He loves to get to the wing, shoot a three.
00:40He loves to shoot from that elbow,
00:43either side, step back.
00:45And he's seven foot tall.
00:47It's impossible to block his shot
00:49because he jumps up and then he releases backwards.
00:55His hand is like this when he lets it fly.
00:58He shoots up and over anything,
00:59and he's already taller than everyone else to begin with.
01:02He's had it going since high school in Maryland, you know,
01:07in D.C.
01:10And I think that he obviously had it going in Austin,
01:15and he's had it going his entire career.
01:17I find it strange, to be honest,
01:20because I think he's, you know, firmly, you know,
01:25a guy that is mature now in his comments about basketball.
01:30When they talk about, the other day,
01:32someone was saying that their locker room's broken.
01:35And he said, I understand your job.
01:38I get it.
01:39I completely respect what you have to do
01:42is come into this room
01:43and think you can figure everything out
01:45because you have stories you have to tell
01:47and a job to do.
01:48I get it.
01:49He said, but we, you know, you walk in here,
01:50we're all doing our own thing
01:52and getting ready for a game and stretching
01:54or getting organized or putting tape on or whatever it is.
01:56And you're just wrong.
01:59You don't know what you're talking about,
02:01but I appreciate that you think you do
02:03when you come in once for four minutes
02:05and we're in here every single day,
02:07every single night, every single game,
02:09and you show up once a season for four minutes
02:11and you have us all figured out.
02:13But good luck to you anyway for trying.
02:15I think he's mature now.
02:16He talks about business in the NBA maturely.
02:19I think he talks about trades maturely.
02:22When people ask him, you're going to be traded?
02:24He's like, not now.
02:26You know, I'm just trying to make the playoffs.
02:29You know, can we not, can we table that for now?
02:32Honestly, and then he laughs like,
02:33I mean, this really isn't the time, is it?
02:35He's like, I just went 30,000.
02:37You want to talk about this?
02:38Like, really?
02:39So I think he's gotten older and wiser
02:42and I know he misses a lot,
02:45takes a lot of vacations, whatever you want to call it,
02:48but there's no denying his greatness as a scorer.
02:51I mean, this guy's a pure scorer.
