Kevin Durant and his Brooklyn Nets will face the red-hot Boston Celtics in the first round of the playoffs. Given both teams have explosive power up front, the Nets are outnumbered with Ben Simmons yet to make his debut. Additionally, JJ Redick feels KD must be the ultimate defender as Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown obviously impose their threat in the paint.

On his podcast Old Man and The Three, JJ Redick emphasized how valuable Kevin Durant is to his defensive team. Check out the former Pelicans player’s hot take on the former MVP. Certainly something not to be missed.

JJ Redick praises Kevin Durant as a great defender

“Kevin Durant was the best defender on the floor last night. Individually, on the help side, he’s made a lot of amazing defensive plays and he has to be. Of course Bruce Brown is a very good defender too, but Kevin has to be their best defender.”

In the battle for a playoff spot between the Brooklyn Nets and the Cleveland Cavaliers, both teams fought to the end. The game was a demonstration of how beautiful basketball can be, with both teams playing perfectly. Where Kevin Durant could see his presence at both ends of the court.

With the Celtics in better form than the Cavs, KD will need to stay longer on the defensive alongside Drummond and other players if they want to put pressure on the Green Army early on.

JJ Redick is not wrong with his hot attitude, Kevin Durant could be one of the most underrated defenders of the 2021-22 season. Additionally, the Nets need their marquee player, active as ever, if they are to prevail against the big guns in the East. How will the Nets and Durant plan their approach against the Jayson Tatum-led Celtics? Remains to be seen.
