DizZYSn1P3 People have been waiting for an excuse to give the MVP to someone not named Lebron since Rose won it. And with Lebron's reduced minutes and shot attempts he is basically giving the MVP away. Maybe Lebron will pick it up later in the season, maybe he only cares about playoffs these days.. but i understand why people are calling KD MVP.. i just don't agree cos i think an MVP should do much more for his team defensively and offensively, and not just score and shoot free throws.
***** Haha.. Durant is long as fuck so of course he's gonna grab some rebounds and get some steals and blocks. But are you seriously gonna tell me that Durant is a better defender than Lebron?? LOL.. stats don't tell the whole story dude.
"Well Kevin, not usually known for his scoring but he's making a big impact tonight!" "And Clark, you'd think he's a big part of why they hold the lead right now."
Finally a game like this by KD. I was expecting more of these this season but it's good he's finally done it. And he did it in a very intelligent fashion. He was in attack mode, he attacked the basket, he was aggresive at the start and not just settling for 3's the way he sometimes does. Thanks to it, he got in a groove and after that he could score from any spot on the floor. It's the same way that Jordan did it. I just hope it's not a one-time spurt because this game prooves to me, not the fact that he scored 54 but how he did it, that it wasn't a fluke.
i doubt that it was just a one time spurt. he put up 48 points twice this season already before the 54 point game. we will have to see how the rest of the season pans out. will he stay healthy? will his teammates step up in the playoffs? there are a few important questions to answer between now and the finals.
first 54 point game I have ever seen where the player was not jacking up shots all over the place, durant was playing within the flow of okc's offense.
He's about to show people he's still top 2 in the league next season. That injury made people forget how good he is. What a fucking shame. Yall gon learn.
He still better than curry u right. People say melo a better scorer cuz his career high is 61 but look who he played against. Meanwhile melo and LeBron had career highs against the Bobcats
KD for MVP, i still think LeBron is a slightly better player, but KD holds a greater weight of responsibility right now than LeBron, and he's putting up big numbers, and getting wins over great teams too
The excitement I had while watching him take those back to back to back 3s to put him to 50 was just crazy. First time in a long time I've felt so much excitement watching NBA.
this game was jumpin from the start , i just got into basketball and i watched the whole game okc is a good ass team they must really love eachother as a team.
Like any sane human listens to what Skip Bayless has to say. That guy is all about coming up with some fucked up theories because he's either stupid or because ESPN stuffs money up his ass so their two clowns can have some conversation.(Most likely both) Like anything that guy is coming up with is usually some controversial conspiracy bullshit, just painful to watch.
Some says KD can't lead the team to win by himself? i guess it's time for those people to shut up and chant MVP. 54 points on 28 shots. 5/9 from beyond the arc. This guy worked hard and improve so much.
any player can lead their team to wins, we as fans just want to see him do it in the postseason also, not to say the regular season isn't important because it is used for seeding
not all. especially this thunder team. Maybe it's just me, but whenever i look at the score board, KD is the only one doing everything. He definitely is different from others. Whenever he doesn't shoot well, he's team aren't able to step up for him.
saw zheyi agree man, we need westbrook. he usually steps up when KD can't. when westbrook is back, teams would have a hard time cos they can't double team KD when there's westbrook.
if this thunder team is consistent, they are sure a good team, but sadly no. Look at reggie jackson, he seems unwilling to pass KD the ball during his career high night.
Iv been a LeBron fan forever... and I hoped he would continue getting mvps until he ends his prime, but during LeBron's prime at 29, KD is dominating the mvp race...
It's funny how people are crying out MVP when he's only been 6-5 without Russ. Steph Curry scored 54 wheres his MVP chants? The point is stop over reacting and look at the bigger picture
you just start watching basketball huh? first, they are winning the game, LA, KD, K-love, Kobe and all the players who has a great game will get a MVP chant because they are playing well, its a sign of respect. and steph curry didnt get a chant because he dropped 54 points in New York when the knicks were actually decent that season
Look how many jump shots.. not only (or 80% of his attempts) easy layups like LBJ usually do. And KD is not only a scorer, he averages 30-8-5! 8 boards plus 5 assists per game, 50% FG.. and he also play in the WEST conference. Unreal stats. One word: MVP.
He was more dominant than the stats say he started 19-24 and put away the wariors than at 4:30 he missed a layup wide open and 2 more random shots so yeah making 19 of 25 is insane MVP
Kudos to this guy. Over the last month Ive been trash-talking him because he was getting 300 points of FTs every night, most referee's courtesy. But this, this he can do better than anyone in the league. He cannot be stopped when hes shooting.
This was much more impressive than Carmelo Anthony's 62 point night. Carmelo Anthony made 62 points in 35 shot attempts. Kevin Durant made 56 points with 25 shot attempts.
If you think KD is better than LeBron you are delusional. KD yes is a better scorer. Lethal pull up one the best pure scorers the game has ever seen. But he is not a better all round player. Passing, Rebounding, IQ, Defence all go to LeBron. To say other wise is as Stephen A would say 'Blasphemous.'
lol what. He is rebounding more than lebron and if you watch okc games, you would know that kd is playing very good team defense. That's why Kd has a better eff and per rating than lebron. Kd is reaching his peak soon and lebron is out of his.
Out of his peak? Spare me. Lebron is 29 and if anything now is the best he has ever played. I seriously plead with you to watch some Miami games. Lebron is the most complete player to play the game.
TheRicey97 stats wise, his numbers have been dropping and TOs increasing. The only reason why lebron has a 59% fg is because he is able to dish out to reliable shooters when he drives while kd doesn't have reliable shooters. LOL most complete player? Have you ever heard of the Big O?
KD gets a lot of free throws off that little rip move he's been doing it forever why do defenders still hold their hand out he's getting that call every time
Why are people trying to take away the credit of Kevin Durant? When a player has an amazing game like this, people tend to look for the negatives rather than to simply praise the player, whether you like him or not for a spectacular performance, if you really hate the player so much, then keep your negativity away and just don't comment at all. Take away the 11 free throws he had that game and that's still 43 points from the field, one of the biggest performances from KD and much more in the future I'm sure. -Boston Celtic's Fan
KD is incredible, he's far from "just a scorer" like he was labeled for a while.. The guy scores, rebounds, plays D and gets assists too now. His passing has improved leaps and bounds, but he isn't exactly surrounded by spot up shooters to rack up assists. IMO he's just as good as LBJ already and as soon as he gets that ring everyone else will acknowledge it. As for all the talk about how much people scored before, KD does all this without taking a ton of shot. If he wanted to pursue a 60, 70, 80 heck 100 pt game he could do it (provided he took a ton of shots). He can literally run up to the 3 pt line and shoot it every time down the floor and prolly make half of them.
@Robert Horry Russ was the reason KD left. Because Russ couldn’t take a backseat to the star player which was KD. Can’t hate KD for going where he will win. You’d do the same thing.
@Robert Horry yep, he doesn’t know how to run an offense. His go to play is isolation at top, and he will always drive right 90% of the time and either throw some bs up or kick out to a team that can’t shoot 3s that well besides KD lol. He did not know how to run an offense at all. Mainly just run n gun due to his athleticism. He also would ball hog in the final moments and try to be a hero. KD is the star player, give him the ball lol. Don’t get me wrong, Westbrook is really talented when it comes to his aggression and athleticism, but he can’t really shoot besides mid ranges and not much setting up teammates unless he has to. He’s better at a 2 guard position
That's the KD I want to continue to see even when Westbrook comes back. Demand the ball more because you are unstoppable. KD can average 40 ppg for an entire season if he demands the ball more. Please continue to be aggressive when Westbrook comes back.
Best scorer in the game, no question about it
That is very true. But i fear that people are getting blinded by his scoring ability when they call him MVP.
very unselfish also
Kay Stone So far this season, he is the clear MVP

I don't get it. Kevin is the announcer's name.
Never thought I'd see Kevin Durant in a Golden State Warriors jersey in 2016.
@Rico it’s 2016 bro. The start of the season
@kahil figueroa that was the end of 2016 season. New season started in October of 2016
@kahil figueroa The 2016-17 season my guy.
Kevin Durant is this years MVP and future hall of famer
Aged well
@@zsidontknowwhattoname4395 definitely aged well like fine wine🤍🍷
The best part in the game was when he made 3 3's in a row (from the same spot!)
and all swishes!!!
Must be really frustrating guarding KD.
lol
Fr, even with perfect defense and a hand in his face he still drops that shit in
Finally a game like this by KD. I was expecting more of these this season but it's good he's finally done it. And he did it in a very intelligent fashion.

KD deserves to be the MVP no questions asked, been playing amazing this season!
first 54 point game I have ever seen where the player was not jacking up shots all over the place, durant was playing within the flow of okc's offense.
KD For MVP
All that on a 71% shooting... Amazing.
Congrats KD, you are truely amazing !
KD's offense is so polished. Such a sweet jump shot! He is a joy to watch
He's about to show people he's still top 2 in the league next season. That injury made people forget how good he is. What a fucking shame. Yall gon learn.
He still better than curry u right. People say melo a better scorer cuz his career high is 61 but look who he played against. Meanwhile melo and LeBron had career highs against the Bobcats
1. Kawhi 2. KD
+Jesus S. LeBron
My boy KD is always dropping buckets like crazy.
MVP.
Was watching the game. Such a great performance. KD was on an offensive mission and really took it the Warriors. Great game.
Everyone...you're welcome.
yo how u gonna miss a wide open layup when u were 19-25
Srsly WIDE OPEN ;D u could have been 20 -26 :3
Stefan Blargh u do realize u are talking to some fan boy?
Stefan Blargh who cares honestly? He dropped 54 points, mistakes do happen
KD for MVP, i still think LeBron is a slightly better player, but KD holds a greater weight of responsibility right now than LeBron, and he's putting up big numbers, and getting wins over great teams too
2014 MVP right here! Do it KD!!
was about time for that upload.. always waiting on YT NBA update before sleeping..fiending off that shit
Reminds me of Stephen Curry's 54 point game against the Knicks. Sometimes you just have one of those nights. It happens!
bringing back the vintage black mamba days
Give this man the MVP award.
Kevin Durant is awesome 😁😁
kd is fun to watch....
Skip Bayless be like: "I'm just not impressed with Kevin Durant"
He only hates LeBron.
BRBallin1 you clearly haven't been watching lately
@@Tooth_God he still hates on lebron to this day LOL
Rn skip is praising kd like a god
wow he really changed.
man i swear everytime the balls goes through the net when kd shoots i never heard the ball go through like that before!!
one of the best scorers this league has seen!
Jeez, does Lebron always have to come up in the comment sections on a video where Lebron is nowhere to be seen?
I agree, but it's just MVP conversation. It's always been those two for the past 2-3 years.
The excitement I had while watching him take those back to back to back 3s to put him to 50 was just crazy. First time in a long time I've felt so much excitement watching NBA.
I love KD, he's a great player, I like his style of play. He should definitely considered as MVP, no doubt about it.
KD IS SIMPLY AMASING! MVP!!!
The points scored is great, but the efficiency in achieving it is absolutely incredible
this game was jumpin from the start , i just got into basketball and i watched the whole game okc is a good ass team they must really love eachother as a team.
Who’s here when he dropped 51 points for the nets
why are people saying that 51 was his career high when this is lol
@@jayykudusaki4249 no its not, its his nets career high lol
Now Has 55 against the Hawks, breaking his career high
@@DFuture99 less goo!
Funny how people consider him the greatest scorer ever, when he’s never even had a 60 point game in his career!
Durant's my favorite player, okc is still my favorite team.
Skip Bayless would probably put an asterisk on this game by saying "Oh, Durant took advantage of the Warriors missing free throws!"
i really hate skip bayless saying that durant is not a top 5 player. i would put him first in my top 10. too deadly
Skip Groundless*
Like any sane human listens to what Skip Bayless has to say. That guy is all about coming up with some fucked up theories because he's either stupid or because ESPN stuffs money up his ass so their two clowns can have some conversation.(Most likely both) Like anything that guy is coming up with is usually some controversial conspiracy bullshit, just painful to watch.
He's dribbling is so much better than what he had 2 years ago
lerbon can dribble faster
SuperLebronJames77 yup,and turn the ball over faster too
Some says KD can't lead the team to win by himself? i guess it's time for those people to shut up and chant MVP. 54 points on 28 shots. 5/9 from beyond the arc. This guy worked hard and improve so much.

man this guy must be the hardest to guard with his vert. quick release and height
KD better win MVP this season or im done with the NBA
This is an achievement in 2k13 lmao.
Iv been a LeBron fan forever... and I hoped he would continue getting mvps until he ends his prime, but during LeBron's prime at 29, KD is dominating the mvp race...
Just wonder your thoughts now? I don’t mean this in a fuck KD/LeBron kinda way. Just how do you feel about KD since then?
Show no hate for the real MVP!!!
REAL? idiot
Funny it was against his future team
Let's hear Skip Bayliss talk about this one
It's just ONE GAME dude. Get over it.
being mvp doesn't mean how many points you score... you're just blinded by the 3 games he had 48 48 54..
Sinister Grin Yeah, cause getting scoring 48-48-54 point are just too easy, everybody can do that, Right???!
yea everybody can do that.. steph, lebron, melo, harden
Sinister Grin I never said that they couldn't?
Kd going hard like he at the rucker
It's funny how people are crying out MVP when he's only been 6-5 without Russ. Steph Curry scored 54 wheres his MVP chants? The point is stop over reacting and look at the bigger picture
who cares if he's 6-5 without rus they're 30-10 kid. Curry scored 54 on prigioni kid
KD is averaging something like 37/8/6 over the last month or so... how's that for "bigger picture"
ASPSportsHD lol kid kid kid kid kid kid.
you just start watching basketball huh? first, they are winning the game, LA, KD, K-love, Kobe and all the players who has a great game will get a MVP chant because they are playing well, its a sign of respect. and steph curry didnt get a chant because he dropped 54 points in New York when the knicks were actually decent that season

My mans dropping Iverson numbers lol
nobody can't stop him
everybody can't
oversensitivenipples actually no one can* or nobody can, dont start correcting if you arent sure that you are right about the correction :P
Kare Laine yes I know but that's not what I was doing, just correcting someone else's grammar is not funny at all
oversensitivenipples i dont know what are you trying to say right now...
Kare Laine
it's okay, don't worry about it
Durantula is so cold, that every time he shot, my video froze.
Now he plays for the Warriors
The irony of him doing this to the Warriors lol
True MVP!
He was more dominant than the stats say
he started 19-24 and put away the wariors
than at 4:30 he missed a layup wide open
and 2 more random shots
so yeah making 19 of 25 is insane MVP

KD is the man no doubt about it. MVP!
Best in his class. Dudes like Michael Beasley should've worked as hard as Kev yo
KD should be the MVP this year. Seriously.
There is a new king awaiting to take da throne..kd.kd.kd!
This was much more impressive than Carmelo Anthony's 62 point night. Carmelo Anthony made 62 points in 35 shot attempts. Kevin Durant made 56 points with 25 shot attempts.
These types of games on a consistent basis not every game but once in a while signal a great
This is KD at his best. Efficient scoring and him mixing up his shots. Making a strong case for MVP
Simply incredible

Thats no Lebron's fault is it though? That is the OKC scouting team. Lebron's ability to get to the rim is unstoppable, MJ even said so.
Crazy top scorer nba this season
Kd is the best scorer ever
what can't KD do!?! this dude is unstoppable
that must be the first game of KD ive seen him be so efficient ... now he needs to do it on a daily basis if he wants that MVP tho
Very strong contender for MVP this year, no doubt about it
Durant is a beast👏💪💪
dude just unstoppable now
Lol KD at the end was like "something light"
KD IS DA BEST PLAYER MVP MVP MVP KD ALL DA WAY OKC THUNDER PROUD
KD gets a lot of free throws off that little rip move he's been doing it forever why do defenders still hold their hand out he's getting that call every time
Good for you!
I don't care who you are or what you do, but you gotta respect Kevin Durant. He cold.
What a beast
lerbon is beast
SuperLebronJames77 dude your a lebron nut gobbler, fuckin groupie why do you feel the need to defend another man so much holy fuck.
it is becoz lebron is king and he is the best
SuperLebronJames77 smh.. have some respect for yourself calling another man king, god damn. fuckin groupie.
kd is a good player ,,
easymoneysniper
At this point he is becoming league hero
Who is here after curry scored 62 points

Scoring Machine!
KD scoring 54 points on a pretty good team, thats alot more impressive than some players getting 30 - 40+ on easy teams. Something to note.
he has the same love of the game like mj
Durant MVP !!!!!!!!!
IF KD DOESNT WIN MVP THE NBA IS RIGGED
KD is incredible, he's far from "just a scorer" like he was labeled for a while.. The guy scores, rebounds, plays D and gets assists too now. His passing has improved leaps and bounds, but he isn't exactly surrounded by spot up shooters to rack up assists.
IMO he's just as good as LBJ already and as soon as he gets that ring everyone else will acknowledge it.
As for all the talk about how much people scored before, KD does all this without taking a ton of shot. If he wanted to pursue a 60, 70, 80 heck 100 pt game he could do it (provided he took a ton of shots). He can literally run up to the 3 pt line and shoot it every time down the floor and prolly make half of them.
MVP!
MVP all I gotta say
MVP! Soon as Russ comes back, were a championship team again! #thundernation #loudcity
@Robert Horry still a die hard KD fan. Don’t really care for Russ, but still a thunder fan.
@Robert Horry Russ was the reason KD left. Because Russ couldn’t take a backseat to the star player which was KD. Can’t hate KD for going where he will win. You’d do the same thing.
@Robert Horry well that’s them, and this is me. You don’t expect every individual in this world to have the same thoughts and opinions, do you? Lol
@Robert Horry they just salty bro
@Robert Horry yep, he doesn’t know how to run an offense. His go to play is isolation at top, and he will always drive right 90% of the time and either throw some bs up or kick out to a team that can’t shoot 3s that well besides KD lol. He did not know how to run an offense at all. Mainly just run n gun due to his athleticism. He also would ball hog in the final moments and try to be a hero.

Don’t get me wrong, Westbrook is really talented when it comes to his aggression and athleticism, but he can’t really shoot besides mid ranges and not much setting up teammates unless he has to. He’s better at a 2 guard position
MVP
Cant wait for his return
You the man KD35
This was the year that all golden state fans went for Miami
That's the KD I want to continue to see even when Westbrook comes back. Demand the ball more because you are unstoppable. KD can average 40 ppg for an entire season if he demands the ball more. Please continue to be aggressive when Westbrook comes back.
Awesome game my thunder
