Durant Leds USA Into World Championships Of Basketball
Kevin Durant, National Freshman Of Year during is only season in Austin, playing for the University of Texas, 2008 NBA Rookie Of Year, face of the Oklahoma City Thunder franchise after their move from Seattle when they were known as the Supersonics, Rookie Game MVP and Horse Champion during All Star Weekend in Phoenix, All Star, youngest scoring champion in NBA history during 2010 season, own endorsement deal with Nike, resigned with the Thunder this off season minus hour long announcement on ESPN, now he'll lead Team USA into FIBA competition. Durant along with Russell Westbrook and Jeff Green lead OKC to their first playoff appearance this past spring. Thunder gave Lakers all they can handle in a tough 6 game opening round Western Conference Playoff series. Terrific learning experience for Durant and his teammates. Unfortunately, Green didn't make the USA team, however Westbrook will join Durant in Turkey as they'll represent their country. Durant won't turn 22 until September and has accomplished many things, nevertheless the sky is the limit for the 6'9 combo wing player, who can finish in transition, create for others and himself, shoot the jumper especially from deep, can rise where his jump shot can't be affected, knock down free throws and quickly becoming one of the top 3-5 players in the National Basketball Association. More importantly he's a great guy off the court, recently purchased a twitter fan of his some sneakers, while in the mall himself.
