Kevin Durant....

[kylem1987]

Well, we had Michael Jordan, we have Kobe, will we have Kevin Durant as the next Legend in the NBA? This kid is just ridiculous. Don't really have much to say, but what do you guy's think this kids future in the NBA is going to be like? I still can't get over the game I watched with Seattle VS Atlanta tied 123-123 in 2nd OT and Durant bangs out a 3 from down town with 1.8 sec left

You missed LeBron after Kobe, Durant will always be in the shadows of LeBron as long as he's in a small market like OKC and the fact well, his prime years will be right with LeBrons

I did miss LeBron, but I think Kobe has the spotlight over LeBron. By the time I think Kobe fizzles out Durant will be right behind him, imo.

will agree to disagree, but thats ok..LeBron is 25, the guy is just hitting his prime..Durant can score 40 points a game, i'd still start a franchise around LeBron

Yeah, I think Durant is 21, in the 10-11 year I think he is going to start shining. I think in 2-3 years this kids gonna avg 45PPG+

Small market is the reason Durant is in the shadows, but LeBron plays in Cleveland and he's not in Kobe's shadow who plays in Los Angeles? That doesn't make a lot of sense...

He's not as good as LeBron is right now or maybe ever will be. Don't think he'll average much over 30 ppg ever because the team around him will continue getting better. They'll need less or the same scoring output, he'll just get even more efficient... which is ridiculous. I think he'll be a top 3-5 player his entire career though.

Your right, that didnt really make sense...

I guess its media power, I personally like DWade more, but the media makes sure it always has the spotlight on LeBron, just like Wade, it'll hurt Durant in that sense...

I do agree, he is easily a top 3-5 player for the rest of his career, Durant, LeBron, Wade will be the top 3 guys for a long time to come..

To the other poster, i disagree, Durant nor any player in todays game will ever average 45 points a game, 30 points is rare in itself now

Durant is a stud, and will be one of the great players, remember who was cleveland before lebron? durant will do the same with the thunder. and until lebron wins a title he will be considered a karl malone, high on the points list, with no ring. durant has young talent around him that will be pretty deadly the next few years, just hope not like the atlanta hawks! LOL and honestly i think wade is better than lebron, he has a title, and just about single handed beat the mavs for it! wade has the fire to win, kobe has it better than anyone in the game, durant is working on it, lebron will never have it

[matt05behs]

what if the thunder do a s & t w/ the cavs for LeBron

[jack mooler1]

45 avg? im gonna get all the durants now
