Kevin Durant (GSW) – “KD”

Profile:
Forward: 6’9 (yeah, right), 240 lbs; 11th year, Texas
NBA Role: all-world superstar • DIFF. BREED
An ‘NBA 2K Miracle on Ice’, the 73-win-seconds-away-from-going-back-to-back Golden State Warriors landed 30 points/night superstar Kevin Durant w/ a few years left of his prime; the easiest scorer in the league, KD is utterly unstoppable and is just as revolutionary a talent as LeBron James (CLE) or Stephen Curry; you could craft a thesis on KD’s offensive game: one of the first new wave forwards, Durant epitomizes the contemporary era of do-it-all stars entering the league – at 6’9 (um, 6’11), KD handles better than most guards, has one of the most accurate/coldest-looking jumpers around; hates the Slim Reaper nickname but Durant will snatch your soul from anywhere on the floor; can drop 30 in his sleep but also boasts a very well-rounded arsenal as a passer and playmaker; finally got over the hump in 2017 – KD’s on a mission to win
