Kevin Durant has finally, indisputably claimed the title of best basketball player in the world.
Kevin Durant played all 48 minutes in Brooklyn’s Game 5 upset victory against the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday.
He was the first player to do so in a postseason game since LeBron James in 2018.
It’s a fitting bit of trivia for Durant, who has spent practically his entire career chasing James for the unofficial title of greatest basketball player on Earth.
It’s a race he famously acknowledged in a 2013 interview with Sports Illustrated.
“I’ve been second my whole life,” Durant told Lee Jenkins.
“I was the second best player in high school.
I was the second pick in the draft.
I’ve been second in the MVP voting three times.
I came in second in the Finals.
I’m tired of being second.
I’m not going to settle for that.
I’m done with it.”
