Kevin Durant added yet another MVP award to his trophy cabinet after inspiring Team LeBron to a win over Team Giannis in the 2019 <a href="www.nba2king.com nba 2k20 mt</a> All-Star Game in Charlotte, North Carolina.
It was the second time Durant, who is the two-time reigning NBA Finals MVP, received the award, having first won it in 2012. The Golden State Warriors star finished with 31 points, on 10-for-15 from the floor, seven rebounds and two assists in 25 minutes on the court.
The 30-year-old was LeBron James’ first pick in the All-Star draft and it proved to be an inspired choice as he played a crucial role in his team coming back from a 13-point halftime deficit to win 178-164.
“Everything's special,” Durant told ESPN when asked about what it meant to be named All-Star Game MVP for a second time. “But it's cool to be out there with some of the best players to ever play the game, and to win an MVP here in front of my family and friends is pretty sweet. I just keep trying to rack them up, I guess."
Despite featuring Kawhi Leonard, James Harden and Kyrie Irving in the starting line-up alongside Durant and LeBron, James’s team had to rely on the second unit to haul itself back in the game.
“They came in and just changed the whole complexion of the game,” LeBron told NBC. “We got stops, and, obviously, Dame [Damian Lillard] and Klay [Thompson] caught fire from beyond the arc, and that allowed us to get back in the game.”
Lillard and Thompson finished <a href="www.nba2king.com place to buy mt 2k20</a> with 18 and 20 points respectively, for a combined 12-for-29 from beyond the arc.
