Despite being one of the greatest players of all time, Durant is very combative over his legacy.<\/p>\n<p>Durant frequently roams social media in search of posts criticizing him, only to respond in quick and clinical fashion.<\/p>\n<p>When <a href=\"https:\/\/nbaanalysis.net\/kevin-durant-makes-sensitive-remark-after-analyst-calls-phoenix-suns-star-most-overrated-superstar-across-sports\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a fan questioned Durant\u2019s legacy and sensitivity<\/a>, he was among the first people to leave a comment under the post.<\/p>\n<p>And most recently, <a href=\"https:\/\/nbaanalysis.net\/kevin-durant-fires-back-at-fans-over-greatest-scorer-claims-im-a-coaches-dream\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Durant defended his efficient scoring from a critic<\/a>.

Even though he wrote no words, it\u2019s fair to assume Haliburton agreed with Durant.<\/p>\n<p>Haliburton simply shared an image of what is known as a \u2018stank face\u2019, commonly seen by enthusiastic music fans when they think a performance is so slick and complete that it becomes \u2018nasty.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>NBA fans had plenty to say about Haliburton\u2019s response. One fan wrote, \u201cWow, two efficiency kings interacting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But another fan was just happy to see Hali supporting KD, noting, \u201cGreatness appreciating greatness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One fan couldn\u2019t help but speculate about Durant and Hali together, saying, \u201cKD to Indy somehow? Get him a 1-2 year deal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While another fan agreed with Durant\u2019s words and how they apply to Haliburton, claiming, \u201cI\u2019ve been in these streets defending your stats like we\u2019re related!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tyrese Haliburton approaches scoring the same way as Kevin Durant<\/p>\n<p>While Haliburton may have agreed with Kevin Durant over his recent scoring claims, that isn\u2019t because the two are at the same level.<\/p>\n<p>Haliburton isn\u2019t even one of the best scorers on his team, let alone the entire NBA. However, it\u2019s not his scoring that makes him dangerous.<\/p>\n<p>As a scorer, Haliburton averages 17.5 points per game in his career. But it\u2019s his 47.7% career field goal percentage that shows how efficient he is.<\/p>\n<p>While Haliburton isn\u2019t putting up 40-point performances like Durant is, he is still incredibly efficient with the rock in his hands.<\/p>\n<p>If anything, Haliburton can be a more dangerous offensive player, as he can dictate the game with his pace and passing, setting up other teammates for big shots.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tyrese Haliburton responded to Kevin Durant making claims about his scoring with an image that spoke a thousand&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":58196,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[574],"tags":[64,63,726,7321,7220,7221,7216,85,16319,7897],"class_list":["post-58195","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-basketball","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-basketball","tag-eastern-conference","tag-houston-rockets","tag-indiana-pacers","tag-kevin-durant","tag-sports","tag-tyrese-haliburton","tag-western-conference"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58195","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58195"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58195\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/58196"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58195"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58195"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58195"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
