When it comes to Durant, people often call him "Du Xiaoshuai", "Schoolbag Du", "Millennium Second Child" and "Death", which reflects people's love and recognition of Durant's ability to some extent. Throughout Durant's career, his scoring ability is second to none, almost standing out among his contemporaries.

Scoring skills Durant's housekeeping skill is scoring, and he is good at scoring skills, framing, breakthrough and long-range shooting. Especially in front of the combination, the big change of direction, or breakthrough or middle distance, is full of power. As for the back frame, I have a certain ability of singles with the back frame, and I can carry the ball on my back. Generally, I turn over and jump shot, or slowly turn to the face box singles after catching the ball with my back, which usually ends in the middle distance.

Scoring technology: the advantage lies in the strong grasp of the middle and long distance, giving people an illusion of hitting every shot. Disadvantages, if we must pick out the shortcomings, then Durant's back-to-back singles skills are obviously rougher than Jordan and Kobe, lacking low steps.

The key ball ability benefits from the excellent undifferentiated singles ability, and Durant's key ball ability is quite good. Shooting at key moments is mainly long-range shooting, and he is one of the few players with reliable key ball ability in the league. How good is Durant's key ball ability? Better than James, Curry, Harden, Owen, Lillard and Booker.

But Durant has an obvious achilles heel compared with Jordan and Kobe, and that is physical strength! This has always been a problem in Durant's career, so we often see Durant's physical exhaustion at critical moments, which leads to a sharp drop in shooting percentage. But Jordan and Kobe basically have no physical problems.

Defensive ability Durant has never been selected as the best defensive team in his career, but he is a frequent visitor to the best team. This shows to some extent that Durant's defensive ability is far less than his offensive ability. This is also in line with people's impressions.

But Durant's defensive scum? Objectively speaking, it is not. Durant in today's small ball era, many times in the five small teams, he was pushed to the position of power forward, and even occasionally made a guest appearance as a center. Although his weight and confrontational ability are slightly weak, Durant's performance on the defensive end is worthy of certain recognition by virtue of his personal height, arm length and serious attitude.
