Kevin Durant is back it again arguing with NBA Twitter about if the game is about buckets and he is arguing scoring is the most important of the game. Here are his tweets:
But to win a basketball game u need to SCORE more than your opponent
I’m assuming he’s defending the way the Suns roster is setup, offensive superpower with mininal defense and depth. Do y’all agree with KD that: the game is about a bucket?

A couple days ago, I submitted a post to gather votes to determine how r/nba valued each player in the league based on The Ringer's Top 125 list. One player was added in Collin Sexton, but this is basically the same list. Here is how the top 100 panned out so far after a pretty good sample size.
You can keep voting, but I wanted to give insight as to how the results panned out after roughly ~80,000 votes. Here is how the website works for those who are curious. AllOurIdeas pits 2 random players up against each other and voters have to make a decision as to who they think is the better player currently as of the end of the 2022-2023 season. This means that there will be no rookies in this list. The score of a player is the estimated chance out of a 100 that the player will be picked as the better player over someone else. I am starting off from 0 votes this time around. Each person will have an unlimited number of votes. You can view the current results in the "View Results" tab to see how each player is currently doing.
