Unique Stat Proves How Nets’ Kevin Durant Has Been Unguardable in 2021 NBA Playoffs
Follow Us
The chances of the Brooklyn Nets winning the NBA title looks believable. While there are many powerful teams in the NBA, the Nets have Kevin Durant, who is in the form of his life.
Ever since Durant got traded to the Brooklyn-based franchise, their odds of winning the championship have improved significantly. With Kyrie Irving and James Harden, the onus is on the Nets to win the grand prize. Despite Harden being injured, the Nets are a solid side with KD on their team. Irwing has put up some good numbers on the board but Durant’s offensive skill-set is a treat to watch.
The Nets are 2-0 up against the Milwaukee Bucks as KD and co will look to sweep them away.

The basic perimeter defense states how a player should be in the face of their opponent. This statistic pretty much tears up those notes. Having a 50 percent three-point shooting is remarkable. But shooting 50 percent while being guarded, is legendary. Durant has been unstoppable beyond the arc as the Nets have been steamrolling the Bucks. Despite his career-threatening Achilles injury, KD has come back stronger.
