For someone like Kevin Durant who is often considered one of the best scorers in the league, saying this speaks volumes about the talent of the players he mentioned. It's not without value either, because Luka Doncic, Nikola Jokic, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard are all mvp players. In fact, Jokic is the frontrunner for this year's MVP award -- an honor Durant won in 2014.
Before beating the Nuggets, the Nets star also spoke highly of Doncic after Brooklyn's loss to the Dallas Mavericks. KD simply shared his impressions of the speed of the Mavs superstar.
"His speed is so incredible to me . He acts like he's not athletic, he can't get around you. He's trying to cheat others and has to be consistent with him," Durant explained.
While it's great to see these players compete against each other on a nightly basis, it's also amazing to see the respect they have for each other.They can be competitors, but that doesn't mean they need to hate each other's and degrade others' talents to improve themselves.
