Gilbert Arenas 5 season's ago 29.3
6.1 assist
3.5 rebounds

Right now Durant at a young age is having good scoring numbers, and his team is doing okay.
But the guy has a long way to go, to even start saying he is an all time great, but yeah at his age, is impressive, but a lot fan boys get carried away saying a lot very premature comments.

First let him win a Playoff series.
A couple All Star games, and then jump the gun.

But look at the team

Durant is doing it as both option 1a 1b and 1c

Those other guys werent able to be a 1 man scoring team
Lakers are 22-3 in OT last 6 seasons:Kobe best OT closer!

Look at what Shaq did at 21 in an era of dominant centers. 2nd in scoring, 2nd in rebounding behind crazy rebounding machine Rodman, 1st in FG%.

Is it safe to say that in the NBA, if you are good, you suck? Sheesh... this guy is amazing and there are so many trying to discredit him. It's recockulous.

He's good... he's REALLY good... Let's just hope he's not the next Grant Hill.

His team is doing okay? OKC is the fifth seed in the west right now, a year after having 20 wins in a season
