Kevin Durant is arguably one of the greatest players to ever grace the basketball court. With his ability to score with the mid-range, post-ups and three pointers, Durant is the most complete scorer in the league.

After missing the last two seasons, this season was certainly pivotal for ‘Easy Money Sniper’ to prove that he was still one of the best in the game. While he did miss multiple games in the regular season, his averages of 26.9 points, 7.1 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game were certainly a positive sign.

The Slim Reaper then balled out in the playoffs. After a dominant victory against the Celtics in the first round, KD carried an injury laden Nets side all the way to game 7 against an Eastern Conference juggernaut in Milwaukee Bucks. If not for a few inches, Durant almost ensured his team an appearance in the Conference Finals.

Kevin Durant committed to Team USA for Upcoming Olympics

The 2020-21 NBA season was certainly one of the craziest in recent history. Given how stacked the fixture list was for the calender year, many players and teams looked extremely fatigued. With the Tokyo Olympics starting weeks after the NBA season, many players might be in risk of a shorter off-season yet again.

Despite these concerns, Nets’ superstar Kevin Durant is reportedly expected to commit to the USA basketball team for the Olympics. He will now join the likes of Bradley Beal and Damian Lillard to commit for the Olympics.
