Beverly: Durant averaged 50 points per game in the 1980s. I will definitely choose the former between him and Bird.

August 27th News Recently, Beverly said on his podcast that Durant averaged 50 points per game in the 1980s.

Beverly said: "Durant and Bird choose one, I will definitely choose Durant. If Durant played in Bird's era, he would average 50 points per game. Who would you let him defend him? The previous four positions were traditional players. My understanding of old players and modern players is that if the physical confrontation of the game becomes larger, the old players would choose to escape, and modern players would find ways to find solutions because they are smart enough and have higher ball quotients."

"Curry could also play in the 1980s because he was strong enough? No, it was because he would find ways to deal with it, just like he did when he was 36 or 37 years old. And considering Durant's figure, dribbling skills, and his ability to play pick-and-roll, he could also protect the basket on the defensive end, so if you asked me to choose between Durant and Bird, I would definitely choose the former."
