It’s begun to dawn on people, pundits and fans alike, that Kevin Wayne Durant is inarguably the best player in the world, even better now than he was before he tore his Achilles in Toronto during Game 5 of the 2019 NBA Finals. And yes, maybe better than he’s ever been!
The numbers all say it. He is off to the best start of his career and the best start of any player in franchise history. His statistics are frightening if you’re an opponent’s coach, the stuff of Nirvana if you’re a Nets fan.
Durant leads the league in scoring: 29.
