Kevin Durant

Kevin Durant staring down LeBron after he scored a basket earlier this year.

              Kevin Durant was born in Washington D.C. and was a basketball player from birth.  He loved the game as a little kid and he was a great athlete and was very tall even as a little kid.  Kevin now stands six foot nine and is one of the NBA's superstar and is a role model for many at the age of 24.  Just a few weeks ago after a devastating  storm in Oklahoma Kevin donated one million dollars to the city and convinced the OKC Thunder to also donate one million as well as NIKE to donate all of the profits from his new shoes.  This shows how great of a man he is and why he is such a role model.

             Kevin stated his University career at the University of Texas for the year of 2006-2007.  He also won College player of the year at the end of 2007 season. He then entered the draft and was selected 2nd overall by the Seattle Supersonic's which later turned into the Oklahoma City Thunder.  Kevin Durant lead the Oklahoma City Thunder to a playoff Eastern Conference Final Championship. They then lost to the Miami Heat in the 2012 NBA finals.  Kevin Durant has been a great player for the Thunder and he is continuing to grow at only the age of 24. The past few seasons the Thunder have been a serious playoff contender.

          Just the past year at the 2012 Olympic summer games in London, England Kevin won a gold medal with team USA to add to his collection of trophies.  Kevin has also led the NBA in scoring three years in a row.  He is also a four time all-star and was named FIBA player of the year in 2010.  He was named rookie of the year in 2008 and everyone knew he was a all-star in the making.  Kevin is my role model as he is a great man as he is not selfish and he is a great man.

               Mario Chalmers also had a huge game scoring 19 points. Before the game LeBron said he will not take or try to shoot 25 or 30 shots because he thinks the more he does, the more it gets difficult for Miami to win. So he's been passing in this series a lot.In the end, Miami had a blowout win;103-84. And the series are tied at 1 a peace.
              San Antonio plans on taking this win at home. So Game 3 gets started and LeBron James does not start off with a good start at all, missing so many shots. But it's Gary Neal who is on fire with 14 points in the 1st half and a memorable buzzer beater 3 pointer before the 1st half ended. So the 2nd half, LeBron starting to get some rythm scoring 15 points in total and 11 rebounds. But thats not enough as the San Antonio Spurs easily win game 3 of the series, 113-77.
