Saying Zach Lowe doesn't know anything about basketball is worse than saying Kevin Durant is bad at basketball.

Durant didn't fire back at anything. 

Well compared to Kevin Durant . . .

based on what? basketball isn't some super complex game where you have to play/be coached at a high level to understand it. Like Spoelstra worked his up from being a video guy. I think most NBA coaches didn't even play that high level.

Right, Sanchez, I'm sure you or Zach Lowe could walk off the street and explain the intricacies of the game to Kevin Durant. People often underestimate the complexity of professional sports.

I assume you don't know who Zach Lowe is?

lol if he wanted to Lowe could talk circles around KD about certain things and his response would be "watch the game blog boys". Lowe talks to coaches/gms/analysts and watches games for a living. I guarantee you Lowe spends way more time studying basketball than KD does, and it probably wouldn't be close.

KD has had probably 8 hours of podcasting on the BS pod and not a single thing he said was profound (as far as on the court basketball).

This isn't football.

You can guarantee me $100 million. It doesn't mean it holds any water.

I'm sure Lowe could talk circles around KD about "certain things." I'm sure KD could talk circles around Lowe about "certain things" pertaining to actually playing pro basketball. Lowe writes for a living. KD plays the game for a living. You're nuts if you think KD isn't "studying" the game he plays.

Jason Kidd is a Hall of Famer and "knows the game of basketball" but I'd take Lowe 1000x over him to run my team. Why? Because one of them is an ignorant know it all and the other actually understands the game and trends. Just because someone plays a sport at a high level doesn't mean they know more.

Who you trust to build your team? Michael Jordan or Gregg Popovich?

Ok explain to me how the three best coaches (Brad Stevens, Greg Popovich, and Eric Spoelstra) have a combined zero NBA playing experience, or even high level D1 experience? It certainly would be blasphemous to say they don't know basketball.

Where did Bill Belichick, Mike Tomlin, and Sean McVay play football? How much NFL playing experience did they have?

Hell, Sanchez, you could probably be a brilliant basketball mind if you worked for years as an assistant coach under brilliant head coaches at the college and pro level. Nobody is saying you can't be. You have to put in the work and have people to mentor you.
