Kevin Durant Is the Best Player on the Planet: Unchecked

What Kevin Durant has done this summer has more meaning than his rings. At least to me. Not to discredit KD winning with the Warriors, but that was a case of a team doing what was expected.

In contrast, with the Nets his superstar teammates were either limited or unavailable and he still had them within an inch of beating the champs...playing nearly every second in the series, in a season where he returned from an achilles injury in one of the best performances any of us will ever see.

Now he’s overseas and has Team USA on the cusp of a gold medal as the unquestioned leader of the squad.
