Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder has been named the NBA’s Most Valuable Player for the 2013-2014 season. Durant won the award for the first time in his seven-year career, claiming the honor by a landslide after capturing his fourth scoring title in five seasons. During the regular season, the five-time All Star averaged a career-best 32 points per game to go with 7.4 rebounds and 5.5 assists, also a career-high. Durant now joins Michael Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain, George Gervin and Allen Iverson as the only players to win at least four scoring titles. In an emotional speech, Durant thanked each of his teammates and talked about his younger days, while also singling out his mother as the “real MVP.” -- Mornings @ ANC, May 7, 2014
