Kevin Durant showed his elite basketball knowledge in a recent challenge. A member of his network, Boardroom, asked Kevin Durant if he could name the last 20 NBA MVPs and the Suns’ star was great at guessing, missing only two players.
Kevin Durant correctly answered who the last 15 MVP winners were, from 2022 going back to 2008. He slipped up when he said Steve Nash won the MVP award in 2007, and not Dirk Nowitzki. The second one he got wrong was 2004, incorrectly answering Shaquille O’Neal when the correct answer was Kevin Garnett.
Durant himself was on the list, he won the MVP in 2014, and he smiled a sheepish grin when he got to that answer. This challenge shows that he is a true student of the game, a fan as much as he is one of the greatest to ever do it.
KD is currently averaging 26.7 points over three games in the Phoenix Suns‘ first-round matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers. After losing the first game, the Suns have won two in a row and are in the front seat in the series. With Kawhi Leonard set to miss Game 4 as well, they will enter the key game looking to take a commanding 3-1 lead.
