How is a fan blog considered a source? Anyone can put up a blog calling a player anything and that doesnt establish it as a nickname. Corpx 18:03, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Trivia
I vote to remove this section. I dont see the importane of stating that Durant & Oden share a middle name. Corpx 02:01, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Position
Durant isn't just a forward he is listed as a guard/forward on almost every site. You have to be kidding me Durant plays more guard than power forward.

How much guard
did he actually play in college?

Enough to be listed as a guard/forward by espn RandyRhoadsRonnieDio


 * He stayed on the perimeter a lot and took a bunch of 3s in college. I think his positions should reflect what's said on his team's site.   Texassports.com lists him as G/F, so I think it should stay till his NBA team has a profile up.  Corpx 19:00, 21 June 2007 (UTC)


 * In the first paragraph of this article, which is about him being selected in the draft by the Sonics, he is labeled as a forward, which is what he played more of in college, too, so I'll change his position to just forward. Miles Blues 05:29, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, I read in Sporting News recently that he might line up at the 2 guard for Seattle this year... but we should probably wait until the season to put guard in the article. Miles Blues 16:51, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

GA comments
I know that Durant is a young guy, but for a person who was the #2 pick, there surely must be a lot more info out there on the guy. In Australia, Andrew Bogut was the #1 pick and it was on the news all the time even though nobody in Australia cares much about basketball.
 * #2 draft. I guess it must have been the subject of a lot of talk. What did his team say? Why did they pick him, what skills does he bring to the teams which make him so higly rated?
 * We have no information on his style of play, except for his playing position. Needs major revamp to discuss and analyse expert opiinions of him. What about his temperament and so forth?
 * How did he transfer from high school to uni? Did he get a scholarship at UoT. What were their motives in selecting him? What did they say about him. What course did he enrol in at university?
 * How did his team go? Match-winning performances?
 * Style and so forth is ok. Since it was relatively short, I did copyediting and so forth.
 * SOme of the refs are not fully filled in. some only have a url. Also with YouTube, it is not considered to be a RS but I cannot open the video to see what is in it. What does it tell us?
 * Video game pic should be removed. We know that his face was used for a videogame cover. The image does not tell us much more than that and it if unnecessary FU.

In general, the biggest problem is that this article is very skinny. Thanks,  Blnguyen  ( bananabucket ) 06:37, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

FIBA Career
Shouldn't there be a FIBA section? He's played extremely well and set a national record for points en route to a Final.  I think this is noteworthy. Atari2 (talk) 03:12, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

International Career
After the performance in FIBA 2010 World Championship in Turkey it has to be a international career section. Mmbalyer (talk) 15:22, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Someone work on this please I have a decent summary of his international career to this point, but I don't really know how to work on all the editing stuff in wiki, so I'm just going to post it here with some sources poorly cited and hope someone edits it to be up to standards. I'm paraphrasing two parts of the actual article, so the number I list in is the source number listed at the bottom. I feel like I might be a little too detailed for this since I'm going to discuss each individual game, but if anyone feels it's not necessary to briefly discuss each game, just go ahead and change it.

Although Kevin Durant was invited to try out for Team USA in 2008, he was cut from the team due to the incredible talent available and his lack of experience (29). Thus, Kevin Durant's international career first began with the 2010 FIBA world championship, where Durant won tournament MVP and lead Team USA to the gold (http://turkey2010.fiba.com/pages/eng/fe/10/fwcm/news/p/eid/4728/nid/44609/sid/4728/article.html). Even though Team USA won the Olympic Gold in 2008 with the "Redeem Team" (the team Durant didn't make), none of the players returned to the squad for the FIBA World Championship, and a new Team USA was formed to compete in the 2010 FIBA World Championship (http://sports.espn.go.com/oly/olybb/news/story?id=5372600). This new team, dubbed the "B-Team", composed mostly of inexperienced and undersized players (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/columns/story?columnist=sheridan_chris&page=TeamUSA-WCPreview), was led by Kevin Durant, who Team USA head coach, Mike Krzyzewski, labeled as the best player on the team (http://sports.espn.go.com/oly/olybb/news/story?id=5461937). During exhibition play, Team USA defeated France, Spain, and then Greece with Durant earning 14 points and 8 rebounds against France, 25 points against Spain in a narrow 1-point win, and 15 points and 7 boards in a 28 point victory against Greece (http://espn.go.com/extra/fiba/recap/_/id/300827930/united-states-vs-greece, I'm having trouble finding the box scores to the other games). This undefeated streak for the exhibition games would continue throughout the rest the entire FIBA World Championship. During the preliminary rounds, USA was placed in group B with Slovenia, Brazil, Crotia, Iran and Tunisia. Kevin Durant played sparingly in 4 of these 5 games averaging only about 20 minutes per game. The exception was USA vs Brazil where USA edged out a win by 2 points, and Durant played for 39 minutes (out of 40 minutes for FIBA basketball) while racking up 27 points and 10 rebounds. His average during the preliminary round was 17.8 points per game, 6.2 rebounds a game, 3 assists a game, and 47% field goal accuracy (http://www.fiba.com/pages/eng/fe/10/fwcm/player/p/eid//pid/65122/rid//sid/4728/tid/379/profile.html).

I'll finish this later after I do a little more research, but the rest of what I want to talk about are: 1.) Briefly discuss the rest of the games 2.) KD becoming the all-time leading scorer for team USA in FIBA play 3.)KD dominating during the final three games (seriously, did you guys watch the tournament?, he took over the last three games) 4.)List of KD's stats and stat averages throughout the tournament.MonkeysOnThePatio (talk) 02:16, 30 September 2010 (UTC)MonkeysOnthePatio
 * Hi Monkeys, this looks like a promising addition. I'll take a look at it when I get the chance. Dabomb87 (talk) 13:27, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

No, I'm going to list his height as it's measured at the NBA's official pre-draft camp: 6'10 in shoes
Not all NBA players are listed at their height in shoes for example Vince Carter measured 6'5 1/2 barefoot and that was rounded up to his NBA listing, Shaq is 7'1 barefoot aswell, Richard Jefferson measured 6'7 1/4 barefoot and is listed at 6'7 and Shane Battier was measured at 6'8 1/4 barefoot and is listed at 6'8 RandyRhoadsRonnieDio

Also espn lists Durant at 6'9! http://sports-ak.espn.go.com/ncb/player/profile?playerId=31579 RandyRhoadsRonnieDio


 * NBA.com lists him at 6'10. Can we agree to list his height on his official NBA profile page (whenever that's put up) ?Corpx 18:54, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, other pages on NBA.com lists him at 6'9. I think his height on his official profile page at NBA.com should be the one listed here.  Corpx 18:56, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

As an example;the WWE regularly lists heights which are often inflated, should an encyclopedia report the listed height or an actual height. I made a change to 6'9" with the addendum that KD is typically listed at 6'10." This apparently was not good enough. I noted when I made the change that the NBA asks the players what height to list, it is not automatically the shoes height. There are a few very notable inflations (let alone shoes vs. barefoot) heights in the NBA. Charles Barkley was routinely listed at 6'6" though he was 6'4." Allen Iverson gets 6' even though most players who have commented think he's more like 5'10." I just think it is silly to list someone's height in shoes in an encylopedia. The NBA is a product, a business, and can do what it likes as far as reporting heights. When it comes down to it, Kevin Durant is 6'9," if he wants to play in platform shoes he can be 7'0," so do we then change his height to 7'? No. Or if he decides to go old school and wear some converse all stars, is he then 6'9.5" instead. Why bother with all these variables?
 * I would ask the following question; As an encyclopedic source, should wikipedia report a listed height without qualifying whether it is in shoes?

He is 6'9" as god/nature/universe/parent's DNA made him. That being said, I'm leaving it up to someone else who agrees to change the heights. Whorchatasoto 07:00, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
 * You're not going to get height measurements without shoes post the draft-camps, so after that it is the listed height. The draft-camp measured height is accurate, but what's to prove that Durant hasnt grown and inch or two past the date of the measurement?   In regards to this, I think we should go with the height listed on an athlete's official profile page @ NBA.com (Durant's not yet up, as he's not drafted) Corpx 07:05, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
 * You can say Barkley is 6'4 and AI is 5'10, but what solid reference proves something like this? Corpx 07:08, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Sonics roster lists him at 6'9, so unless anyone has any newer measurement, it should stay at 6'9. Corpx 04:42, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Can we please stop editing his stats to something other than what the roster says? Corpx 06:22, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I believe his wingspan is 7'5, correct me if I'm wrong. could someone also tell me why I can not edit this page?

Personal life (significant other)
Monica Wright of the WNBA's Minnesota Lynx is engaged to Kevin, or so I read today in Bing's Sports news app. That is a surprise, and made me look up the Wikipedia page on Kevin Durant. On the Google search result side bar, the movie he is credited with being in is a Nike commercial. What is with that?
 * I added a mention of Wright. (Thanks.) Google's sidebar profiles get a lot of things wrong. It's a problem at their end, since that factoid doesn't come from this article. Zagal e jo^^^ 05:47, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

Weight is absolutely wrong
Whoever put his weight at 240 is dead wrong. Kevin Durant is listed at 215 on basketball reference.com, and I am sure that is fully clothed with sneakers and a suit on. Come on now. Also Westbrook is listed at 200 lbs, which may be kind of close, but is definitely high. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.94.151.73 (talk) 03:25, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

Kevin's favorite NFL team the Washington Redskins
I'd like to request that someone put on this page that Kevin Durant is a fan of the Washington Redskins. He was seen at the Redskins-Green Bay Packers game at Lambeau Field in 2013 wearing a Redskins cap and jacket cheering them on. Makes sense considering he was born in Washington D.C. and grew up in that area. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:B857:21B0:6C5E:BECB:324B:106F (talk) 06:52, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

6 ft 10
I am changing his height to that. I don't care if anybody changes it back, (which I am sure someone will) because that's fine. I am just saying what I think. Everyone in the world who knows who KD is will agree to at least 6 ft 10. Probably pointless. DangerousJXD (talk) 09:12, 10 February 2015 (UTC) P.S. Tell me if you (meaning anyone) reply.
 * Please provide a reliable source for your change. NBA.com, ESPN, BR and Yahoo all list 6'9". Don't just change it to 6'10" because you personally feel he's 6'10". Justify your changes. DaHuzyBru (talk) 10:40, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
 * [|Here]. DaHuzyBru That says 6 ft 10 with shoes and shoes is what you play in and that was 2007 and he grew a little bit since then too. Google images has a pic of him and Marc Gasol face to face. As I said I don't really care but he is at least 6 ft 10. Also you can't say Danilo Gallinari is taller. Tape measures must be hard to come by in the NBA. DangerousJXD (talk) 11:09, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
 * The infobox has listed height and weight for a reason – there are many varying sources with different interpretations, not everything can be accurate as heights/weights change often. With listed height/weight, there can be defining figures. Wikipedia uses NBA.com as they are the "official" source – it's been that way for a while now and it be wise to stick with that. DaHuzyBru (talk) 11:19, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Listed height is up to the teams, who might vary on whether they use height with or without shoes. Per ESPN.com: "After the draft, teams got to (and get to) determine the height of their employees. This is what you see on the player card, and this is what largely informs the public idea of how tall a player is ... Despite all the hard work Jonathan Givony of Draft Express does in compiling draft height data, the almighty player card is the loudest guy at the bar." When there is consensus, the "height_footnote" parameter can be used in Template:Infobox basketball biography to explain a discrepancy.—Bagumba (talk) 20:31, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I really don't care. DangerousJXD (talk) 22:07, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Birthdate/Birthplace
Someone changed the birthdate/birthplace to Sept. 29 1988, Washington DC (rather than Sept. 30 1988, Suitland MD). Majority of references I found seem to state the latter so I changed it back and added two references that looked most likely to be authentic (although TexasSports.Com has the former dates just to confuse things) - tried searching for official birth records but couldn't find anything. Zarius 20:46, 3 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Kevin Durant was really born on September 29, 1988 in Washington, D.C. and not on September 30, 1988 in Suitland, Maryland. My information is according to TexasSports.com, the official athletic website of the Texas Longhorns. Zarius, who is a Wikipedia editor insists that Durant was born on September 30, 1988 in Suitland Maryland. Zarius is a pathetic dumbass that dosent know what he is talking about so don't believe anything that he writes. Zarius in a disgrace to Wikipedia and should be banned from editing any pages on it because he's a retard with false information. - Details moved from article page (10:32, 9 March 2007), originally posted by AdMan763.


 * Please note that I have only changed the birthdate once - I reverted an unsourced change by 72.95.244.138 (06:19, 4 March 2007 - note the previous 5 edits on the same day). I researched the subject first and added references to back up my findings - majority of pages I had found stated Sept 30 and I referenced two pages just to make sure, then added details to the discussion page.  After dispute I now have left the current birthdate and birthplace as they are, cleaned up the reference to TexasSports.com and left an invisible comment to see the talk page.

kevin durant height

 * If you look at the infobox, it says "listed height" and "listed weight". It does not say "true height" or "true weight". NBA.com list Durant as 6'9" and 240 lb so that's what we go with, simple as that. DaHuzyBru (talk) 05:12, 16 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Nope, not until July 7 when he can officially sign. DaHuzyBru (talk) 18:23, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
 * But why can't the opening mention that he has announced he intends to sign with the Warriors? That is absolutely accurate.--Bernie44 (talk) 18:59, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I personally think it's clunky and unnecessary for the lead's second sentence. Others obviously also agree. DaHuzyBru (talk) 19:25, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, DaHuzy.--Bernie44 (talk) 03:17, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi DaHuzyBru. I agree that the intention to sign sentence is clunky in the second sentence, but I don't think you and other editors are really being reasonable here. We could easily include the information that Durant intends to sign in the lead section and not necessarily in the lead paragraph. Instead, we're currently blaring this notice in the lead section, which includes bold font, a blue bar, and a graphical icon:

In this context, I think it's pretty bizarre that the lead does not mention the intention to sign. Instead, we force readers to click "Golden State Warriors (2016–present)" under "Professional career" in the table of contents box. At this point, I think many readers are asking themselves why there's a "Golden State Warriors" heading under "Professional career", but the lead section makes no mention of this directly, instead using the space to loudly insinuate that something has happened using. I think we can and should better serve our readers here.

It sounds like this whole tempest in a teapot will resolve itself shortly, but I do think it's worth discussing the underlying issue here to avoid repeats at other articles. (cc: Divergence5, Meinnaples, Bernie44, Pmaster12) --MZMcBride (talk) 15:00, 7 July 2016 (UTC)


 * I agree completely, MZMcBride. It is indeed bizarre. Durant saying he's going to sign with the Warriors is huge news in the sports world, and it's odd to not reflect it in the lead. And that tag at the top is very misleading, as the"reported signing" is not at all based on anonymous sources - it's been reported in pretty much every top US news source, from ESPN to NY Times, as well as by Durant himself in The Players' Tribune. My opinion is that in the future this sort of news should be incorporated into the lead, phrased that the player announced his intention to sign with whatever team, and if by some crazy turn of events like with DeAndre Jordan last year, where he said he was going to the Mavs and then wound up re-signing with the Clips, so then we just change it back.--Bernie44 (talk) 15:09, 7 July 2016 (UTC)


 * It's July 7, the Warriors are about to do a press conference with Durant and yet only admins can edit the page until the 8th? Bit of an overreaction. The lead should have mentioned his intention to at least sign for the Warriors from the 4th. BillyBatty (talk) 15:14, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Feel free to submit an edit request once the signing is confirmed. Admittedly, we don't have enough volunteer admins to update protections in real-time based on upcoming press conferences announcements.—Bagumba (talk) 16:15, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
 * WP:SPORTSTRANS advises: "Consensus at Wikipedia articles may determine that the player should be reflected in the article as being a member of the team, even prior to an official announcement by the team." The problem is that these types of discussions are rare, and likely only take place once the article is fully-protected. Moreover, by the time there is an established consensus, the announcement is likely to be official already. Cheers.—Bagumba (talk) 16:23, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Right, Bagumba, and so it basically becomes a series of reverts every time between users who think the info should be withheld until the player signs on the dotted line, and those who think an announced intention to sign that is widely reported should be included in real time. It would be good to have a discussion where we can come to a consensus of what to do in general, moving forward - obviously I side with adding to the lead a player's intent to sign with a new team (so long as it's more than a rumor and is being reported in the major news outlets).--Bernie44 (talk) 16:53, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Are you proposing to only include the intention to sign, or to list outright in the lead sentence and the infobox that the player is a member of the new team? Thanks.—Bagumba (talk) 16:59, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
 * The former - that we include the intention to sign in the lead sentence, with a credible source, and wait to list the player in the infobox as a member of the new team until he officially signs.--Bernie44 (talk) 17:13, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
 * OK. So the usual cycle is that when the article is unprotected, most non-autoconformed editors—unaware of any established editing conventions— edit the article as if the deal is official. The article may eventually be semi-protected, but a few registered users, again unaware of conventions and perhaps in spite of hidden text, may continue to edit the article as if it was a done deal.  In rare cases like Durant, the article gets fully protected, and consensus needs to be established before an edit can be made. Given that Wikipedia is crowdsourced, I'm not sure how to effectively have an article reflect a player's intention to sign without requiring the overhead of discussions on a per-article basis. Ideas?—Bagumba (talk) 17:25, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
 * You're right about the usual cycle. But if we did have solid guidelines in place, then while there would still be some edit warring, at least admins could enforce the guidelines knowing they are acting with the consensus. I realize my opinion of what the guidelines should be may not wind up being the consensus, but it would be good to have some sort of consensus one way or another, rather than making it entirely a case-by-case situation.--Bernie44 (talk) 20:11, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
 * The first step would be to establish a project consensus. As for admin enforcement, one of the five pillars is that "Wikipedia has no firm rules", so it's more likely that an admin would defer to the current consensus in the specific content dispute, as opposed to directly enforcing a WikiProject standard.—Bagumba (talk) 22:43, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

 * The infobox field is "listed height", not true height. NBA.com, the official source, lists 6'9". That height is not disputed by the other big sources Basketball-Reference, ESPN or Yahoo.

2015-16
Hello,

The 2015-16 section of the article has some great information, but it is not concise, and I think it could use some trimming. There are two things I'd like to do:

1) Trim the section into a single paragraph that is more in line with the other sections of the article, and 2) Merge it with the 2014-15 section and call it something like "Final years in Oklahoma City"

If anyone disagrees and would like to leave it as is, or has other ideas on how to improve, that would be great. Unless I hear objections, I'll make these changes in a week or so. Cheers!--Ktmartell (talk) 21:57, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I have no problem with that. I went ahead and trimmed the section a little myself. DaHuzyBru (talk) 01:00, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

2016-17 season average stats
The article should be updated to include Durant's regular season averages for 2016-17, both in the "Golden State Warriors (2016–present)" section and the "NBA career statistics section." The former section should also mention regarding these stats that they represent career highs for Durant in field goal percentage, rebounds per game and blocks per game, and a career low in turnovers per game.

Changes to article
Hello,

There are a few changes that I think could benefit the article, but some might be considered a little controversial, so I wanted to propose them here and get some feedback before doing anything.


 * Change "Early life and education" to "Early life". I couldn't find any other Good/Featured Articles that used the former.
 * Remove the big info box with his high school recruiting information. I think it's big and chunky, and feels more relevant for players currently in high school versus those who have moved on to a professional career.
 * Add back a third paragraph to the introduction that gives a brief summary of Durant's off-the-court activity.
 * Remove two of the three images in the "Awards and honors" section.

I'd be interested to hear people's thoughts on those potential changes. I think that the article is getting a little busy, but I certainly don't want to change anything if people think I'm full of crap. Thanks all!--Ktmartell (talk) 00:11, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't feel any of those points are controversial. All four sound like improvements. Go right ahead! DaHuzyBru (talk) 04:21, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
 * ✅--Ktmartell (talk) 21:01, 22 April 2017 (UTC)

KD Height
Kevin Durant 6'11" without shoes and 7'10" with shoes Tlaudick (talk) 20:58, 22 April 2017 (UTC)
 * He grows almost a whole foot with shoes? Woah! :P


 * I'm just kidding. I see what you're saying. This has actually been discussed at great length before, and it's already mentioned in the "Player profile" section. Thanks!--Ktmartell (talk) 21:02, 22 April 2017 (UTC)

The Picture of Kevin Durant is an outdated photo, from his time when he was still on the Thunder.

Trimming the 2016-17 section
Good Morning All,

As per usual for this time of year, I'm getting OCD and feel that a trimming of the article is necessary. This time, I'm thinking about cleaning up the 2016-17 section, which reads very long to me. Please let me know if anyone has any objections to this.--Ktmartell (talk) 13:07, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
 * As I was the major contributor to the section last season, I have gone ahead and reduced some of it already. Your article tightening skills are usually of great value – I have no objections to further clean up. DaHuzyBru (talk) 15:21, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you sir. I finally got around to trimming it up. Hopefully I didn't nuke anything of great value. I actually added a bit to the first paragraph about why Durant's move to GS was received critically. I hope it helps, but certainly feel free to remove or let me know if it's too harsh. I certainly don't have a dog in this fight; I like Durant and was fine with his decision. However, I think it helps to give context to the criticism versus just saying that he received criticism. Appreciate the help and great work as always.--Ktmartell (talk) 16:52, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm all for your adding context to his decision. However, attributing to Golliver gives impression he was the only one with this opinion (WP:INTEXT). Also, there should ideally be a balancing blurb on those who supported his choice.—Bagumba (talk) 17:03, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

Durant and Westbrook scoring 40 points each in a game
Pipopipito (talk) 20:24, 15 March 2018 (UTC)The article mentions the October 30, 2015 game against the Orlando Magic as the first time Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook scored 40 or more points each as teammates and mentions how it was the first time a pair of teammates have done this since Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen did it in their February 16, 1996 game against the Indiana pacers, in which Jordan scored 44 points and Pippen scored 40. This is wrong as they've accomplished this feat before on two occasions, both in the 2011-2012 NBA season. This same error is found in Russell Westbrook's page. I'll provide links to the boxscores of both games:

https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/201202190OKC.html

https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/201203230OKC.html

As you can see, they both scored 40 or more points on both occasions. Granted, both games did go to overtime so I do think their October 30, 2015 game still deserves mention as they were the first pair of teammates to score 40 or more each during regulation but in it's current form, it's simply wrong.

Please note, I'm a new user and I created this account just because of this error since I love NBA history and am fascinated by interesting trivia bits like this one. I apologize for any errors in formatting in my post. Being a new user, I can't edit this or Russell Westbrook's page so I just wanted to bring this to the attention of other users here.

Two potential tweaks
Hi Friends,

I was thinking I would remove some of the pictures that start to show up everywhere later in the OKC section. I don't think three consecutive images in the same section are necessary. Also, I was going to trim up the 2018 season a bit. Please let me know if you have any objections.--Ktmartell (talk) 19:15, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
 * The images are of different time frames and located in different subsections, but there's no reason why they can't be tweaked either. Regarding the 2017/18 section, your call mate - I think it's pretty concise compared to previous years' efforts, but I know you always do good work. Cheers. DaHuzyBru (talk) 04:23, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
 * The image in "MVP season (2013–14)" section seems excessive when viewing this on a high-res screen. For 2018 playoffs, I think most of the non-Finals games can be removed now, and maybe add a summary of his overall Finals performance.—Bagumba (talk) 13:23, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Alright, here is the damage:
 * I removed an image of him dribbling in 2014. As Bagumba mentioned, it looked crowded on a high-res screen.
 * I removed a lot of game summaries that I personally felt were not significant enough for inclusion. For example, "He registered his second triple-double as a Warrior" or "He scored 38 points in a loss". It can be tough with players like KD because every third game is notable for one reason or another.
 * I tried to add a little more context to the newer sections. For example, I added some notes such as "He was criticized for playing too much iso as the Warriors fell behind in the series." Just trying to avoid too many instances of "He did this... He did that."
 * I removed exact game scores. I noticed that they don't show up anywhere in the article, and then suddenly in 2017 they are prevalent, so I tried to make everything consistent.
 * I sincerely hope that the article looks better. If I removed anything important, then I apologize. Everything was in good faith. Thanks gents.--Ktmartell (talk) 19:26, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

Neutrality, re: 2016 free agency
I'm a decade-long Warriors fan, so obviously have no issue with the move personally, but the lack of mention over the heavy criticism KD has endured from both fans and the media since his 2016 decision seems glaring...particularly since the sole media mention of the free agency decision is one of praise (for which there was little at the time, outside of the Bay Area).

‎2016 free agency criticism
Bagumba, regarding this, we should note why he was criticized. Per the sources in the article, and various sources easily found by Googling, the criticism centered on Durant going to an already established, championship team. We shouldn't be vague about why he was criticized. Readers who are not familiar with the matter will wonder why it was so controversial. As you know, we write Wikipedia articles for the general audience, not just for those familiar with the topics. It's also easy enough to locate sources comparing the decision to James's decision, but I'm not focused on that.

No need to ping me if you reply. Flyer22 Frozen (talk) 02:43, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
 * No issue with summarizing it. I removed it because it was inaccurate (and I could not readily make improvements).  There is a gratuitous SI quote after that, which provides some of the insight you seek.  However, it would be ideal to provide an overview in WP voice instead of relying on a quote, if possible. Regards.—Bagumba (talk) 02:54, 28 March 2020 (UTC)


 * As seen, after this removal by a different editor, I made this edit. That the "criticism centered on Durant going to an already established, championship team" is accurate. Like Durant makes clear, including in a video, people felt he took the easy way out. But, yes, the summary I added could be improved, and also note that fans felt he betrayed them. And there are better sources that could be used to support the content. My summary was a quick fix meant to center on what the main focus of the criticism was/still is. Flyer22 Frozen (talk) 03:03, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
 * I think I was co-mingling it with the comparison to LeBron, which I also removed as being poorly sourced. In Durant's case only, it's probably OK, but can also add the factor that he joined a team he just lost. Apologies, as I'm on mobile, so probably took a more "all-or-nothing" approach, instead of trying to retain and improve. Cheers.—Bagumba (talk) 03:26, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

Article needs a new picture
Because tagging this article with a picture of Durant in college while he competes in his third NBA season seems irresponsible.

The same is true for the Greg Oden page.
Does anybody here really think he will be listed at 6'11 anywhere? What the hell is the point of doing that? He's measured at 7'0 in shoes, and that's what he'll be listed as, except on wikipedia, doh!

Kevin Durant's height is over 6'10 in shoes--the measurement that will be displayed on all official NBA literature
Those who list '6'11 fail to understand the protocol when listing NBA height measurements (basketball is played in shoes and the ONLY reason players' height are even listed is because of the sport they play--a sport played IN SHOES); and as such, wikipedia will eventually be the only source on the web that still lists Durant's height at 6'11 (because some stubborn douchebags want to play editing games).Kevin Durant is one of the best players in the nba and will probably break more records during his career.If he keeps playing like this for sure he will become the next MICHAEL JORDAN..........HE is definetley better than kobe bryant .GO THUNDER AND CELTICS. FORGET ABOUT THE lakers kevin durant has a little brother named marquise corbett and his little brother lives at san pasqual academy. Kevin Durant is the leding scorer in 2012-2013 season.

So you're going to change Durant's height every time he changes his shoes?
Maybe at least wait until he signs his first shoe contract. After all, look at Spencer Hawes; he gains 2.25 inches in shoes. If Durant wears those he will be over 6'11".

Shoes
Could someone clarify what make and model of shoes Durant was wearing in Orlando. Thanks.Durant has over four pairs of shoes in just one year.So far Kevin Durant has released 4 different versions of his shoe, which has gotten increasingly popular as the shoes continue to be made. The shoes are light and made for basketball players to be more efficient and effective while moving and cutting.Kevin Durant also has special shoes made recently such as the Golden KD's and the KD weatherman shoes which are exclusive and limited edition.

Shoe Contract
Durant turned down a $70 million dollar offer from Adidas to sign a contract with Nike so I'm assuming that he will be using Nike shoes. The deal with Nike was a $60 million dollar 7 year deal that includes a $10 million dollar signing bonus.

Thanks
Now we just need to know the thickness of the soles on the model he will be wearing during games.

Growth spurt
Durant's growth spurt leading up to his senior year isn't in the quoted portion of the citation provided. Below is a contemporary source that has him at 6'8" in January 2004. Could be exaggerated but surely proves the growth spurt in the article false. I imagine there's lots more evidence from his time at Oak Hill (highlight videos etc) that he was clearly taller than the current version of this page suggests he was.

kd to the suns
kd the new suns player 2604:2D80:530B:A500:F076:4AC6:59C9:96CD (talk) 20:42, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

It’s official
It literally is being reported everywhere my credible sources. So there’s absolutely no way KD will not end up on the Suns after this trade is finalized. This Wikipedia page needs to be updated to KD playing for the suns because it is not accurate that he plays for the Brooklyn nets anymore he is a phoenix sun now. And he’s gonna win a championship there this season with Chris Paul devin booker and deandre ayton 2600:8806:9020:A900:D411:F939:70BD:7C04 (talk) 21:03, 9 February 2023 (UTC)


 * I doubt it will happen here but trades do fall through sometimes even after insiders report it. It's not official until the TEAMS themselves announce it. Troutfarm27  (Talk) 21:09, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Here's an incomplete list of deals that fell through or just plain didn't happen after they were reported. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:19, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

He’s a Phoenix Sun why has this not been changed yet. He’s not a player for Brooklyn Nets anymore. This is confirmed this is not speculation. Somebody fix it now this is ridiculous. 2600:1011:A10B:22C4:D96:C131:EF9B:941C (talk) 21:38, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
