Durant: Oden calling himself a bust is 'nonsense'

OAKLAND - Golden State Warriors superstar Kevin Durant has a message for Greg Oden who stated to Outside the Lines last week that, he'll "be remembered as the biggest bust in NBA history."

"Nonsense. That's nonsense," Durant adamantly told ESPN Sunday evening. "In order for you to be a bust, you have to actually play and show people that you progressed as a player. He didn't get a chance to."

Oden and Durant were taken No. 1 and No. 2 respectively in the 2007 NBA draft by the Portland Trail Blazers and Seattle Supersonics.
