It should come as no surprise to even the most casual of NBA fans, but it was made official today that Kevin Durant is among the All-NBA First Team selections. His company is, of course, the best players in the NBA, including Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Chris Paul and Dwight Howard.
NBA 1st Team: Durant, LeBron, Kobe, CP3, DHoward. 2nd: Love, Griffin, Bynum, Parker, Westbrook. 3rd: Dirk, Melo, Chandler, DWade, Rondo.

With Russell Westbrook getting love on the second team, it shows just how elite the talent is on the Oklahoma City Thunder roster. James Harden also received 8 votes and Serge Ibaka scored 2, which shows that Scott Brooks is not fielding a two-man show.
The Thunder take on the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference finals starting on May 27 in what is likely to be the best showdown of any pairing in the entire NBA playoffs this season.
