According to journalist Brian Lewis, Kevin Durant was named The 2021 American Basketball Player of the Year. This is the third time in Durant's personal career that he has received the award.
2021 can be regarded as another highlight of Durant's career.
When people thought that the Achilles tendon tear could hit this superstar to the bottom, he used a king posture of sacrificing himself to re-ascend to the first peak of basketball in the world.
Durant in 2021 has done too many surprising achievements. First, after a major injury to the Achilles tendon rupture, the athleticism will show a faulty decline, and it is almost impossible to return to the peak after the comeback.
And Adu?
He averaged 40.3 minutes per game in the playoffs last season, scoring 34.3 points, 9.4 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.6 blocks, setting a new personal playoff scoring average.
He also averaged 37 minutes per game in the regular season this season, scoring 29.7 points, 7.9 rebounds and 5.9 assists, far more playing time than playing for the Warriors for four years and the last two years with the Thunder.
He told the other players with his personal perfection recovery:
Even if the tendon is broken, there is a possibility of being defeated, and death has done it, and you can do the same.
Second, Durant led the U.S. team to break the enemy in a row at the Tokyo Olympic Games this summer, won the gold medal without any danger, and was elected MVP.
With all due respect, Durant, as a player who returned from injury, could have refused to join the national team, and he resolutely chose to go out, which has been awe-inspiring. What's more, when this team first played the warm-up game, it was considered by fans to be the most likely American team in history to overturn.
With such a team, Adu won one game after another, and when the death scythe flew in FIBA, no matter who was in front of him, he ended up losing.
Third, in the regular season this season, Durant led the team to the first place in the East in the absence of Irving. He averaged 29.7 points per game, temporarily ranking first in the league, and the official latest MVP list, temporarily ranking first.
Previously, Curry had the opportunity to get MVP+ scoring champions at the same time this season.
Now, Adu also has this possibility, and the possibility is very large.
In summary, the 2021 American Basketball Player of the Year, Kevin Durant, is well deserved.
