NBA News Roundup, Monday, April 29th: Kevin Durant compared to Michael Jordan, James Harden unhappy with officials, and more

Steve Kerr compares Kevin Durant to Michael Jordan

Golden State Warriors v Los Angeles Clippers - Game Six

Kevin Durant is currently playing some of the best basketball of his career. Durant hit 50 points for the Warriors in Friday's Game 6 series clincher against the Clippers, and he hit a further 35 last night as Golden State defeated the Rockets in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals. Durant's form has impressed Steve Kerr, who has compared Durant to Michael Jordan:

There's this guy named Michael something. Can't remember his last name. No, but Kevin's run this past week has just been off the charts. I've said it a few times this week: He's the most skilled basketball player on Earth. He's one of the most skilled basketball players to ever play the game. There's never been anybody like him. Six-11, handles the ball, shoots 3s, passes, defends. He's just an unbelievable talent. And I think after we lost Game 2 to the Clippers, I think he just felt like he had to turn it up and lift us up another level. That's exactly what he's done.
