Kevin Durant wants more except scoring title
After a three-year career, Kevin Durant in paul pierce jersey has put his name together with those top players in the league. Last season, he won the scoring title in the last championship, which made him the youngest player in charlotte bobcats jersey to win this honor. Later this summer in Turkey, he led the US team all the way to win the championship trophy at last, and also Durant himself was selected as the most valuable player in bobcats jerseys this year.
His own improvement helped lead an Oklahoma City franchise that had won only 23 games a season earlier make it to the playoffs and scare the eventual champions. Then, in the absence of Kobe Bryant, LeBron James in chicago bulls jersey and some of the game's biggest stars in chicago bulls jersey, he was the MVP of the world championships in leading the U.S. to its first title since 1994. It all sounds great, but Durant has his eyes on something more as the Thunder open training camp Tuesday, a day before his 22nd birthday.
Durant in michael jordan jersey averaged just over 30 points last season, about five more than the previous year and 10 more than he had while winning the Rookie of the Year award in the 2007-08 season. He finished a fraction of a point ahead of James in jordan jersey, and recently earned praise from Orlando all-star Dwight Howard as being the second-best player in the game. It might have been a jab at James, who recently relocated to Florida as part of Miami's all-star triumvirate with Dwyane Wade in dennis rodman jersey and Chris Bosh in scottie pippen jersey, but still quite a compliment. One that the ever-humble Durant isn't letting go to his head.
Durant in derrick rose jersey could be considered on that path, too, just a few years behind in his young career. He now has his first experience with making the playoffs, and with accepting post-season failure. He's also learning what it's like to be in the spotlight. "I feel like the same guy I was in high school," Durant in cleveland cavaliers jersey said. "Nobody knew who I was. A skinny kid like I am now. But I've got my own car, I've got a license. That's about it. That's the only difference." Durant in cavaliers jerseys said the most intriguing thing among all the off-season hype about him was a couple messages he received on Twitter suggesting that the Thunder, who were the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference last season, could win the NBA title.
