ESPN and SI: Best player in the world plays in Brooklyn

DUH!

In their annual top 100 player rankings, ESPN and Sports Illustrated both put Kevin Durant as the NBA’s best player. While both sites admit there were other players with an argument for the top spot, KD was ultimately an easy choice for the pundits, helped by his masterful performances in the post-season and the Olympics.

ESPN’s Brian Windhorst wrote it’s not just about this year either. KD is a classic.

Let’s leave it at: Durant is one of the most skilled players to ever take up basketball, and his height, release and accuracy make him one of the most undefendable players in history.
