    Default Kevin Durant wins first MVP award

    OKLAHOMA CITY -- Kevin Durant has plenty of scoring titles. Now, he finally has an MVP trophy to go with them.

    The Oklahoma City Thunder star won the NBA's top individual honor Tuesday, receiving 119 first-place votes. Miami's LeBron James, who had won the last two MVP awards and four of the previous five, finished second with six first-place votes, and Blake Griffin of the Los Angeles Clippers was third.
    rest, plus video - Durant gets very emotional

    KD is awesome.
    *The statements above are my opinions, unless they are links, because then they are links, which wouldn't make them my opinions, and I suppose stats aren't necessarily opinion, but they are certainly presented to support an opinion. Proceed accordingly.

    He is basically a God in OK. I hope he stays forever.

    I love that guy!! An amazing person with what he's done in that community and the humility he shows day in and day out.

    KD is a great person and definitely a role model for future NBA players. Impossible not to like the guy.


    But from a true basketball perspective...he's not the MVP.

    KD is the man - I was infuriated at The Oklahoman for their article titled "Mr. Unreliable" it truly hurt KD's feelings (his mom was quite livid as well)

    Even if he never wins a title he should never be called names - its pathetic that the paper stooped to that level for a little "press"

    Who do you feel should have been the MVP?

    It's not like it was an inaccurate headline at the time. When that headline came out he was 3-7 in his last 10 playoff games and had faltered late in many of them. Plus, he's a public figure, so newspapers have no responsibility not to hurt his feelings. He's a big boy, I'm sure he can handle it.

    Do I really need to answer this?

    No offense intended to KD or his fans, but...until proven otherwise, LBJ is the best player in the NBA. I dont like him...but he is the best.

    I don't think there's any argument that LBJ isn't the best player on the planet. I believe KD was rewarded for having the best season.

    Was his season better? Other than averaging 5 more points per game, he still doesnt have the same numbers in almost any other category and certainly doesnt play defense like LBJ.

    I'm not discrediting KD and not arguing anything, but LBJ is and was better. I hate saying it as much as anyone...but it's true

    I know he's better, but their other stats are almost identical. Durant averages about .5 more rebounds per game, and LBJ averaged about .5 more assists per game.
