~ Rising NBA Young Team ~

I'm really enjoy watching NBA but a lot of things change in this season. Could we all agree than LeBron James is the best player in the league ? Maybe he is not but I could said that he is currently the best player in the best team. That doesn't matter to me because I know he could easily become the best player with his freaking basketball talent. What most impresses me is the rising of young , talented NBA team.

The West representative ~ OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER

Kevin Durant is undoubtedly the leader of Oklahoma City Thunder. He is a 6'9 small forward who is capable to play power forward. Although he has a slender build , he often used it as a lethal weapon to outplay his opponents by posting up bigger player while shooting over smaller guard.

Kevin Durant a.k.a. Durantula is totally fitting with his nickname. He is long , lean and scary as hell. He actually looks like a tarantula with those mile-long arms. Here he come ....... run away.

Could it be true that Kevin Durant really passed up Kobe Bryant in just his third year in the league? Durant scores more on higher shooting percentages while taking less shots. He's also a better rebounder. Not to mention, he's the biggest reason for the Thunder being a playoff team. That's a pretty strong case. His leadership quality definitely outmatches Kobe when he was 21. Without any doubt , Kevin Durant already emerges as one of the top NBA player and he suddenly posterizing the whole league. All people are aware of his greatness but they haven't realize that he is much more greater than we could imagine.

Durantula is getting better and better each year. His individual statistic of this year is outstanding. He averages 29.7 p.p.g , 7.6 r.p.g. and 2.7 a.p.g. His 7 consecutive games scoring 30 or more points is really impressive. Besides , he has the most 30 + point games in one season through 74 games in 2009-2010 season.( 40 ) and 29 consecutive games scoring 25 or more points.

Oklahoma City Thunder crushed La Lakers and ended their seven straight win by 91 - 75. Kobe was held to 11 point of 4-of-11 shooting with 9 turnovers while Kevin Durant poured 26 points and grabbed 8 rebounds.

"They played very well," a solemn Bryant said after the game. "They executed and did a good job. They did great defensively."

"[Oklahoma City] did a great job defensively," Bryant said. "It's disappointing we didn't respond to the challenge." ( Kobe was really disappointed that they could not keep up with the young OKC. )


"Kobe had nine turnovers and you can't do that," Jackson said. "You can't have a game like that and expect to have success especially this late in the season."

Kevin Durant led the Thunder to win over Lakers by contribute 26 points and 8 rebounds. Pau Gasol only dropped 9 point in this game.

Kobe tried to attempt a tough shot while he was defended by Thabo Sefolosha.
