Some people have an idea that Kevin Durant is a ball hog. This is incorrect. He is a good passer and has good court vision and will usually make the extra pass to get his teammates a score. We’ll see plenty of examples in today’s video.
However, most great scorers have said that it’s a delicate balancing act to keep your teammates involved and score in the flow of the offense when things aren’t working well. That’s the problem when your just isolating and jacking up a shot is actually a pretty good option. Stephen Curry had the same adjustment from being the guy who had to score to win to being the guy who had to bring out the best in all his teammates.
