For all of my NBA fans, who sit in their Michigan State University apartments with their friends, eating a Xtra large pizza and debating about who is the best NBA player to grace the hardwood since Micheal Jordan, the heir apparent is here! Kevin Durant has taken the NBA by storm. As a rookie, Kevin Durant averaged 20 points, nearly 3 assists, and about 5 rebounds a game, earning him the 07′-08′ NBA Rookie of The Year award. In each of Kevin Durant’s young NBA career, his points, field goal percentage, rebounds, assists and steals has all increased, making him one of the premier NBA franchise players. In comparison to Michael Jordan’s NBA career, MJ averaged 30 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists a game to Kevin Durant’s 25 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists a game.
In only his 3rd year in the league, barring any major injuries, Durant is on his way to becoming the next Michael Jordan and the first Kevin Durant. The other night, after playing basketball with a few of my friends at our Chandler Crossing apartment, we were sitting in the clubhouse watching SportCenter highlights. Durant had a monster game, scoring about 34 points in a victory. He has scored 25+ points in 29 straight games, no one has done that since Jordan. His ability to score is uncanny, surreal and just scary. Not Kobe nor Lebron has even come close to what Durant is doing.
But those players might have a say before everything is said and done. Kobe Bryant is a stone cold assassin and Lebron Jamesis an all around phenom. Bryant has already lived up to Micheal Jordan’s hype and James seems to be next in line to surpass MJ’s legacy. So I ask all of you NBA junkies, who do you think will be the next G.O.A.T.?
