OKC Thunder 2013 - 2014

I hope people are REALLY appreciating and taking advantage of the opportunity to see KD don an OKC jersey and be a representative of this city. Odds are a player as talented as KD won't be seen for quite awhile once LeBron and him hang up their sneakers, at least in our lifetimes. We really are spoiled as basketball fans right now. I just hope everyone else realizes that.

Unless you're 70, that's just not going to be true. Jordan was (for all intents and purposes) done in 97/98 and Lebron started 03/04. So there was a 5 season gap, to make no mention of several other Top 10/15 players of all-time were still playing (Kobe, Duncan, Shaq).

I'd be hesitant to include Durant in a discussion with Lebron until he replicates this season's kind of production for 2 or 3 straight years and wins at least 1 Title and MVP.

That being said, Durant is very likely the best player that will ever wear a Thunder jersey, unless the NBA is still operating 100 years from now (and even then, there's no guarantee if Durant ends up being a Top 5 player of all eras up to and including his).

That was my point

And the talking heads in the sports world are already talking about Durant being the best offensive player of ALL TIME, and not in a sarcastic way. They're dead serious. He is by far the most talented player on the offensive side of the court that anyone has ever seen. His size, length, ball handling, and range for a guy that is 6'10 is out of this world. Cherish it.

Would LeBron have won an NBA championship without going to Miami to team up with two other franchise players (Chris Bosh, Dwayne Wade)?

Let's face the truth about the MVP award; it usually goes to the player who the NBA thinks will win the NBA championship.

We have two franchise players on our team and let's appreciate their efforts while they are here.
