Kevin Durant recently dropped his ‘all-time hooper’ team in an appearance on the ‘Out The Mud’ podcast, and the names on the list raised many eyebrows in the basketball world. Durant listed Kyrie Irving, Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGrady, himself, and Kevin Garnett as the best all-time basketballers.
Surprisingly, big names like LeBron James and Michael Jordan were obviously missing from the post and clearly warranted an explanation. Many basketball fans and analysts have always swung between King James and MJ as GOATs (Greatest Of All Time) in the sport, and their names missing from the list were shocking to not only listeners but even the hosts themselves.
“In pureness, Kobe can shoot that 3-ball, he can handle, he got the wiggle and he can do all the technical stuff that MJ can do, so it’s a toss-up, but I’m gonna go Kobe at my two.” Kevin Durant explained his reasoning for choosing Kobe Bryant instead of MJ.
