Skip Bayless praises Kevin Durant and the Nets
KD has been on a tear this season. So far, Durantula has come to play, averaging 30 points on 58.3% shooting, 6.6 rebounds, and 5.3 assists per contest. He’s been the engine behind the Nets’ success, and has certainly been making a case for MVP.

With the win over the Cavs, the Nets improve to a 22-12 record, good for the 3rd seed. They’re half a game behind the 2nd seeded Bucks and two games behind the #1-seeded Celtics. With the way the Nets have been playing and their next stretch of games, they would like to close the gap and try and get to the top spot.
Along with KD and Kyrie, the Nets bench and role players have been performing excellently as well. If they keep continuing to do so, the Nets pose a big threat in the East.
KD had a historic night
While scoring 32 points, grabbing nine rebounds, and dishing five assists, Kevin Durant made NBA History today. He passed Tim Duncan on the all-time Scoring List.
Not only that, he also passed Kobe Bryant for the 21st spot on the All-Time 3-point FGM.
If KD keeps playing the way he has been, it would be hard to deny him his 2nd regular season MVP honors.
