20. Kevin Durant

THE MVP IS BACK!!!

Kevin Durant gets an honorary spot in the top 20 just by walking out on the court. Although I’m a Trail Blazers fan and hate the Thunder more than any team in any sports league in the world, I’m so excited to have Durant– and Russell Westbrook– back on the floor.

It’s just not the same without him.

Durant began his MVP-defense with a 27-point outing against the New Orleans Pelicans and looked much better than I though he would after sitting out for so long with a Jones fracture in his foot.

I just hope he didn’t come back too soon…

Next: 19. The Old Geezer
