Kevin Durant is the torch bearer for the NBA. Russell, Magic, Bird, Jordan, KG, Duncan, Durant...

He has the rare combination of elite talent with a world class head on his shoulders. Down to earth kid who approaches the game with fire, class and character; those are the marks of the true superstar in the league.

You won't find "all" of those qualities in LeBron, Wade, Bosh, Kobe, Stoudemire, etc..

But you'll find them all in Durant.


At what point did Wade not conduct himself with fire, class or character?

Lots of stupid allegations came out about Wade around the time his divorce was filed.  Lots of charges of drugs and promiscuity.  If people don't think Wade has high character, it's likely due to that.

On the court and in interviews, he's always seemed like a class act.


Wade cheated on his wife didn't he?

Who doesn't cheat on their wife these days? I bet you the vast majority of all sports players cheat on their wives, and most of us would too, if we were making millions of dollars and were away from home more than half of the year.
It's just all behind closed doors, because their is a huge social stigma attached to it in the US. Look at the President of France, he's had a number of scandals and he is still loved by his people! If that happened in the US he would be impeached immediately.

I cheat on my wife all the time, I don't see the big deal.
