Kevin Durant Is The Toughest Player To Defend In The NBA, Per Julius Randle

Despite suffering a couple of injuries in the past few years, Kevin Durant is still a pure bucket-getter and remains to be at the top of his game. This year, the two-time champion is averaging 27.5 points per game on 54.2% shooting from the field, 45.9% from deep and 88.2% from the charity stripe.

Durant has etched his name as one of the best scorers in the NBA, and recently, his reputation among the toughest players to defend in today’s game has received a sterling vouch from New York Knicks All-Star Julius Randle. 

Randle has had a fair share of battles against the league’s top offensive players, but he made it clear on ‘Victory The Podcast’ that Kevin Durant is the one he finds the toughest to guard.

 “Kevin Durant. He’s a mutant. He’s a 7-foot guard. He was playing the 4 position earlier this year and I had to guard him for the entire game. He doesn’t see anybody on the court.”
