Kevin Durant ,shooting guard of Oklahoma City Thunders,has been taking the NBA’s biggest names and scoring his way right on past them.
First Kobe. Then LeBron. Next up, Carmelo.
With a tear that began just before Christmas, Durant has climbed into a virtual tie with Denver’s Carmelo Anthony for first place in the NBA scoring race. He’s had at least 25 points in each of his last 23 games — a feat none of the other superstars has ever accomplished and no one else has ever done at his age.
Durant says he only cares about wins — and those are rising, too. With Durant leading the way, the Oklahoma City Thunder are right in the thick of the playoff race and making that dismal first season seem like ancient history.
