Watch: Kevin Durant Explains His Extraordinary Play

Golden State Warriors star Kevin Durant is playing at high level, and during his seven postseason games he averaged 35 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5 assists per game while shooting 54 percent from the floor.

After the Game 1 win over the Houston Rockets, Durant talked to media members and explained his awesome play.

“I try not to compare,” he said. “Each stop along the journey has been — I’ve just been tailor-made for the moment, I guess. I learned a lot so far as a player up until this point, so I think I’m starting to put everything together on both sides of the ball. I’m not looking at points or shots that I get up, just how focused I am for each possession.”  

The Warriors are packed with talented players, but Durant makes all the difference. Draymond Green agrees on this one.

“He’s playing great right now,” he said of Durant. “He’s being extremely aggressive, and when he’s being aggressive as he’s being, I don’t think there’s anyone in the NBA, maybe the world, that can stop him. So when he’s being aggressive like that, that’s always a positive for us. It’s a challenge for the opposing team.”

Durant won two straight Finals MVP Awards. If he keeps playing at this level, he has a great chance of winning his third.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr talked about the play and compared Durant to Michael Jordan.

“There’s this guy named Michael something,” Kerr told media members. “Can’t remember his last name. No, but Kevin’s run this past week has just been off the charts. I’ve said it a few times this week: He’s the most skilled basketball player on Earth. He’s one of the most skilled basketball players to ever play the game. There’s never been anybody like him. Six-[foot]-11, handles the ball, shoots 3s, passes, defends. He’s just an unbelievable talent. And I think after we lost Game 2 to the Clippers, I think he just felt like he had to turn it up and lift us up another level. That’s exactly what he’s done.”

Let’s see what happens with the team next game.
