Kevin Durant won his second Finals MVP award

Love him or hate him, Kevin Durant is still a two-time NBA champion, two-time Finals MVP and is one of the best players alive on the planet. He has been unbelievable last season and was one of the key reasons why the Warriors clinched the title. Durant also upped his defensive abilities after joining Golden State and is now a two-way monster. In the finals, he averaged 28.8 points, 10.8 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game and won his second Finals MVP award.

At times, he looks like he is the best two-way player in the league and even though he could not lead the Warriors to victory in the regular season 2017-18 when they lost Curry to injury, he has been great for the team and did everything he could to help them win.

This season, he picked up where he left off and is averaging monster numbers once again. To end November, Durant had three consecutive 40+ point games, including a stellar 51-point performance on the road against the Toronto Raptors which unfortunately ended up in a loss.
