Kevin Durant Is Modest

Even with Grandpa Oden out of the way, KD says that he’s not a lock for the Rookie of the Year award. To which I say: Ha Ha.

    “To which I say:Ha Ha” If Durant breaks his leg anytime soon,I think the Sonics have grounds to sue SLAM.

  • Nick Graber Posted: Sep.28 at 2:07 pm
    lol, thats wat everyone says…that they get the SLAM curse put on them, but he’ll win rookie this year if not its goin to Bradon Wright, or Al Horford. Watch out next year though, Oden will be back!

    KD is overhyped. He ain’t gonna get ROY.

  • Keith Posted: Sep.28 at 2:12 pm
    Cap’n America should be on SNL with jokes like that.

  • Bryan Posted: Sep.28 at 2:16 pm
    So since Oden is out for the whole year that means KD can win roy this year and Oden can next year thats pretty cool

  • Russ Bengtson Posted: Sep.28 at 2:19 pm
    If it’s not Durant (who I think will win it), I’d have to go with Mike Conley.

    Belinelli for ROY. Giocco con esso.

  • RiseKing Posted: Sep.28 at 2:36 pm
    Outside of injury, there is no way he not getting ROY. Who else on their roster is gonna score? Everything will go through him, there’s no rookie getting half as many touches as he’s going to.

    um… Thaddeus Young for ROY? i mean… please… can we get a break? i’m not looking forward to 3 more years of 38 win teams before Iggy gets frustrated…

  • Dutch Rich Posted: Sep.28 at 4:06 pm
    Since we’re putting in early votes: Tiago Splitter= ROY.
    Strictly high grade inna mi chalis

  • Captain America Posted: Sep.28 at 4:13 pm
    KD can’t get to the rim, needs some heft, and will need a year of adjustments to the NBA in order to gain prominence. Forecast averages: 10.0 PPG, 5 RBs, and 4 ASSTs Sleeper ROY: Corey Brewer

    I like Fesenko on UTAH to take it or at least headbut Duncan

  • Walter Olivera Posted: Sep.28 at 4:35 pm
    KD is probably going to average 17pts 7 rebounds 3 assists 1 block

  • Jukai Posted: Sep.28 at 4:46 pm
    KD can’t get to the rim? Did Captain America watch any NCAA game??

  • Jukai Posted: Sep.28 at 4:47 pm
    Forcast averages: 22.4 PPG, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals.

  • Joel O's Posted: Sep.28 at 4:52 pm
    KD overhyped? Right now, to me, I think he’s at Rashard Lewis’ level, just with a lot more killer instinct, the one huge flaw in Rashard’s game. Plus he’s nearly a decade younger.

  • Jukai Posted: Sep.28 at 5:05 pm
    Yeah, and Lewis averaged 22.3 points WITH Ray Allen on the team. Imagine what KD’s gonna average!

  • ty akins Posted: Sep.28 at 9:37 pm
    kd will win roy because he is the truth and i think he should replace tayshun prince on the olympic squad

  • Clay Posted: Sep.29 at 2:18 am
    It’s already in the bag…

  • bhonjaze Posted: Sep.29 at 9:37 am
    for me, i still cant lock that one up this early. anything can happen..Durant can break his leg or tear his ACL any time through the season; or any other rookie in the league can go unconscious and poise for a breakout year. Durant has been nothing but realistic with his comment, and i am impressed with his sense of reality.

  • Kayce Online Posted: Sep.30 at 7:38 am
    my guess is that Durant averages about 18pts, 6.5rebs & 2-3 assists on 45%FG, 85%FT & 36% from 3.. we’ll see if i’m even close haha =)

  • Joey Posted: Oct.1 at 10:18 am
    KD all day!!! He is gonna win rookie of the year. in about 2-3 more years he is gonna be mvp and this season he is gonna make the sonics a playoff contender. he will average 24 points a game with 7 rebounds, 1.7 blocks, 2 assist, and 2.2 steals a game.remember this cause im gonna be right.

  • chubbzie Posted: Oct.1 at 10:21 am
    do u rekon oden comes back if he’s fit this year? esp if portland is close to the finals (which i doubt) will he try gain the experience or will he save it so he can try win rookie of 09
