Kevin Durant could win another MVP this season
The Nets' star player is having another MVP-worthy season as he led the team to the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference. This happened after The Nets had a sluggish start to their campaign and were met with a series of controversies. KD's exceptional work breathed new life into the team.
Durant and the Nets seem to have built a level of trust with each other. He expressed this after their win against the Washington Wizards.
"We're building something, we gotta continue to keep fine tuning." Durant said.
So far this season, the 2014 MVP is averaging 30.0 points, 6.7 rebounds and 5.5 assists. Durant is also shooting with good efficiency on the floor, making 55.9% of his shots from the field and 34.6% of his attempts from the three-point mark. KD is tied with Donovan Mitchell for the seventh spot in the league's latest MVP rankings.
His rank could go up if he keeps playing at his best this season. Additionally, the situation with the Nets is now better than before.
Kevin Durant has high praise for Bradley Beal
