[...] Darnell Mayberry’s take on it: “I chalk up Durant’s response as yet another sign of his humbleness and respect for the league and one of the game’s best. Also, I think Durant attacks his forthcoming ascent in a very practical manner. He realizes he has the gifts to develop into one of the most unique players the league has ever seen. But he’s more focused on the work it will take to earn having his name mentioned in the same breath of LeBron rather than simply accepting the acclaim with which media and fans already want to anoint upon him.” [...]

Does this mean we’re going to the 2nd round of the playoffs this year? Lebron took his team there in year three.

But the Thunder jumped to 23 this year from 20 wins in Durant’s rookie year, so I’m predicting playoffs or bust.

Durant is a pure shooter and has better scoring instincts then Lebron, He’s not the passer Lebron is or the defender he is. I truly believe eventually KD will be a equal player to Lebron, maybe even better.
