For his outstanding performance in Team USA’s title run in the recently-concluded FIBA World Basketball Championship in Turkey, Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder was named as Player of the Year by USA Basketball. Durant led Team USA to a 9-0 sweep of the quadrennial meet and submitted norms of 22.8 points per game. Durant says he played to the best of his ability during the tournament and was humbled by the said honor, according to The Oklahoman.
“It means a lot. My goal was to represent my country to the best of my ability. I really appreciate all of the coaches and players that I got to share that experience with. I am very humbled by this honor.”
