Even if you hate the Brooklyn Nets, you have to admit that Kevin Durant is an incredible basketball player.
There is no doubt that he is one of the best players in the NBA and probably one of the best to ever play the game.
Even though his Nets are still suffering and struggling, he is performing like an A-plus athlete again and again.

On Monday night, Durant and his Nets faced off against the Orlando Magic.
They ended up winning the game, 109-102, thanks to the hard work and superiority of Durant.
He scored 45 points on 19-of-24 from the field and 3-of-5 from the three-point line.
Durant also racked up 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks.
As if that wasn’t enough, Durant only missed five shots all night long.
What a game, what a player.
Durant Doing It
So far this season, Durant is averaging 30 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 5.4 assists.
He’s been nailing 54.8% from the field all season long, which is an incredible number.
Durant has been giving it his all, which isn’t surprising, yet his Nets are still having a tough time.
They are currently the 9th team in the East with an even 11-11 record.
That’s better than they have been, thanks to the firepower from Durant and others on the team.
There are other strong athletes on the squad but Durant consistently towers above the rest of them.
Will he be enough to propel his team to the playoffs?
Even with nights like his on Monday, there is a good chance that Brooklyn will again have a lackluster postseason and not make it far.
And if that does happen, you can be sure that Durant will again request a trade from this team.
