Kevin Durant’s brilliant Game 5 puts him with these NBA legends
NY Post
MILWAUKEE — It goes in the pantheon. That’s not even a question. A day later, Kevin Durant left fans and coaches and fellow players speechless at what he did Tuesday night. How much? Even Giannis Antetokounmpo, who had the best (and most unwanted) view of Durant’s masterpiece, made a bold, startling, yet hard-to-argue statement afterward.
“You know,” Antetokounmpo said after Durant’s 48-minute, 49-point, 17-rebound, 10-assist magnum opus, “he’s the best player in the world right now.” Coming from a fellow member of the top 5 of that category, that says something. But there were boldfaced basketball names lining up and falling over each other to get their praise on the record on Twitter.
