2. Kevin Durant

After embracing being the NBA’s biggest heel, Kevin Durant has feasted on the lesser Western Conference teams during the playoffs. With a perfect 12-0 record through the first three rounds of the playoffs, the Golden State Warriors must now take on the defending champs.

The last time we saw Durant and LeBron face off in the NBA Finals, the Miami Heat was winning their second championship in franchise history, after a quick five-game championship series.

Durant isn’t that skinny 23-year-old anymore, though. He’s a monster now, or at least he’s transformed into one during his time in Golden State.

Is this finally the moment that Durant secures his first NBA Championship?
