Emmanuel Acho: KD can’t be compared to Michael Jordan when his gifts don’t match his accomplishments I SPEAK FOR YOURSELF

There is another debate in the NBA world, this time about gifted talent and skills. Scottie Pippen threw shade at Kevin Durant recently, saying that he has not yet reached LeBron James’ level. On the other hand, KD’s former coach Steve Kerr did the exact opposite, when compared him to his former Chicago Bulls’ teammate Michael Jordan. He said quote ‘I think he’s more gifted. Kevin is an entirely different breed; 6’11 with guard skills, unlimited three-point range, passing, shot blocking at the rim, it’s just stunning.’ Emmanuel Acho explains why KD can’t be more gifted than Jordan due to the mental aspect of it.
