Most ballers don’t have a game that will work at the highest level, in disciplined 5-on-5 against athletic giants, against elite defenders, and be efficient/consistent/reliable for 82 games.
That’s why there are so few sure things in this league.
When people talk about Beasley, for example, there are a few major things Durant had/has over him:
Relentless discipline
“Coachability”
A unique, effortless, hyper efficient shooting touch
I remember watching a video segment/program on Durant getting trained in high school. They showed him doing shooting drills and it was just absolutely clear that this guy would surpass Nowitzki as the greatest tall shooter ever.
