Kevin Durant shows no sign of slowing down in what is his 16th year in the NBA and 35th year on the planet Earth. With the exception of his 3-point shooting, his numbers so far this season are better than his career numbers, roughly equal to his MVP year in 2013-14 when he was 25. He’s leading the NBA in points scored and minutes and if he can get his 3-point shooting up, he could wind up with another 50/40/90 season.
It’s truly extraordinary and even a bit lost in the Nets season of controversy after controversy. But it is also worrisome for those in charge of making sure that KD remains KD over the long haul and the Nets get the best out of his talents as they (still) try to win it all.
