NBA All-Star game: Kevin Durant expected LeBron James to pick him first

PHOENIX –- Kevin Durant did not sound grateful for the honor. It sounded like he expected it.

As the captain for his respective All-Star team for the second consecutive season, LeBron James selected Durant first for his team. To which Durant says….

“What else is he supposed to do?” Durant asked, rhetorically.
Fair enough. Durant has won two NBA championships and two Finals MVPs in consecutive seasons. In his 12th NBA season, the 30-year-old Durant is ranked No. 36 on the league’s all-time scoring list and counting (22,366 points). Durant has also averaged 27.3 points on 50.
