According to his coach, Kevin Durant, the star of Golden State Warriors, recently scored an incredible score, potentially comparable to Michael Jordan.

While Steve Kerr joked that Durant was like his former Chicago Bulls his teammate, he was sincere about describing the success and abilities of the striker, via Nick Friedell of ESP.com:

"Kevin's race last week has just gone out of the rankings, and I've said it several times this week: He's the most talented basketball player on the planet. One of the most skilled basketball players in the world, there's never been one like him.[foot]-11, manages the ball, shoots 3 seconds, passes, defends itself. It's just an amazing talent. And I think that after we lost the second game against the Clippers, I think he felt compelled to increase it and raise us to another level. That's exactly what he did. "

In the match 2 loss described by Kerr, Durant scored 21 points, but it ended in nine turnovers and only won eight field shots. Since then, he has been on a roll with at least 30 points in all five games averaging 40.2 points per game.

He scored 50 points on an effective score of 15 of 26 in the decisive win in the sixth game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Durant continued his impressive run Sunday with 35 points in the 104-100 win over Game 1 against the Houston Rockets. Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson were silent for much of the day, but Durant took over and led the team to a win.

Durant is averaging 29.1 points per game in his playoff career with two titles and two MVPs in the final. Unfortunately, he still has a long way to go for Jordan, who averaged 33.4 points per game to win six titles and six MVPs in the final.
