Kevin Durant is still standing as a member of the Brooklyn Nets.

After a tumultuous summer, and an even rougher start to the season, the superstar who requested a trade some seven months ago enters Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans (7:30 p.m. ET, ESPN) playing arguably the best basketball of his career. He finished the month of December averaging 28.3 points a game while shooting 58% from the field.

The 34-year-old finds himself in a good place and says he believes the league is in a good place as well.
