Is King James the best active player in the NBA? I say Hook Em. Nice article: Forget about LeBron, the individual chase for Kevin Durant in the final weeks of this NBA season is about tracking down M.J. in a year when the greatest ever was at the height of his offensive power. 34 down, six more to go. Not since Michael Jordan in 1986-87 has an NBA player rolled off a 40-game stretch of 25+ points in consecutive games, but Durants streak of 34-straight going into Mondays game against Denver has him within a level of offensive greatness that truly puts his all-time talent in perspective. Assuming he keeps the streak going, hell look to tie the mark on April 4 against Houston and break it on April 6 at Phoenix. Along the way, hell almost certainly put a ribbon and bow on a much-deserved first career MVP. Consider these numbers from the month March… Durant: 35.3 ppg/8.0 reb/5.4 ast James: 25.8 ppg/6.3 reb/6.4 ast While Durant has scored 25+ in 34 straight games, James has failed to hit the mark twice in his last 11 games. Fellas, this thing isnt even close at this point, not if were being honest, but if the national media needs an emphatic moment to crown its new MVP, perhaps those games against the Rockets and Suns will serve it properly.
