Is Kevin Durant Better than LeBron?
Both the Los Angeles Lakers and Cleveland Cavaliers have survived the first round of NBA playoffs, keeping alive the opportunity for fans to witness perhaps the two best players in the game—LeBron James and Kobe Bryant—face off in the championship.
But if LeBron and Kobe are arguably the best of today’s league, who would be deemed the best of tomorrow? Most basketball critics would argue that you don’t have to travel far from the Washington, D.C. area to answer that question.
At age 21, District native Kevin Durant is quickly climbing his way to the top of the player ranks. He is the fastest player to capture the season scoring title after averaging 30.1 points per game, and led the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 50-plus win season, including two impressive victories against the No. 1 seed Lakers in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
With incredible physical ability and incomparable skills on the hardwood, there’s no limit to how great Durant can become. Or is there?
