At the moment, and likely until the end of the season, The Boston Celtics are the best team in all of the NLL. Running on a dominant thirty-game win streak that seemingly will never end, no one is questioning the Celtics’ three all-star game selections, and even with missing seventeen games, team superstar Kevin Durant nearly led all of the league in voting and was completely deserving of every single vote despite missing all that time. When healthy, Durant has been dominant in nearly every single area of the game, and if he can play most of his team’s remaining games, looks to be an easy pick for the league’s MVP award.

Over the off-season, Durant was moved to the Celtics in a shocking blockbuster deal for Nicolas Batum, Marc Gasol, and a first round pick. GM Jmac traded significant elements of his team, but no one around the league truly questioned the deal, and Durant made sure that everybody thought correctly. Gasol has already been traded once again to the Heat, and Batum seems to have regressed from a breakout year in Boston in 2014. Meanwhile, Durant is now playing some of the best basketball of his career, including career highs in assists (4.3, stomping his previous high of 2.3) and steals (1.7), as well as leading the league in fast-break points per game (3.9).

A nagging foot puts Durant as questionable for the game, but league sources report that the superstar plans to rough it out and play. Who would want to miss such a historic game in the world’s most famous arena? Certainly not a player of Durant’s caliber, as winning MVP would be a gigantic honor and accolade. Durant has everything he needs to win the MVP: athleticism, scoring, and now a proven passer. Watch out for the Durantula to be all over the place at MSG. The league sends their congratulations to Kevin Durant.
