Maybe. On the other hand, he's the best player in this series.
I do not see any clutchness from this kid, and thus I cannot in good conscience call him a superstar yet because clutchness is a key quality that separates the superstars from the all-stars.
I liken him to Kobe early in his career, throwing up airballs in Utah. It's only a matter of time before Durant develops these killer closing skills, but he doesn't have them yet and it's a fallacy to rightfully call him a superstar at this point in his career.

Hey man, he had a good look it jus didnt fall, it happens!!
tet the out of here. he played a great game on the road against the #1 seed and defending champs. his 3 clanked the rim and should have fell. lakers with all the calls and against the youngest team in the league.. lol, yeah, great win.
Now it's 4 in-a-row, or, a 7th Game in Los Angeles.
tee, hee.
14 now for 16 then.
Durrant gave one of an effort. for being young... i say he is as clutch as you can get at his age.
Sans the 8 TOs.
Ridiculous statement. Enjoy your Laker win and try not to be another typical wad Laker fan.
you must be talking about Westbrook
Better than Gasol? Eh, maybe.
Mavericks will unleash a blitz on the WC unforeseen since the '01 Lakers![]()

Durant has got to pay his dues. He's not there yet as a guy that can carry his team to victory in a playoff series.
You're wrong Culby. You need someone to step up and feminize Kobe, as Shaq used to do. Phil, Pau, Bynum... someone. He needs to adjust his role just like he'd do when Big Daddy was around. Otherwise, his selfishness are going to cost the Lakers the chance of fighting for the championship.
No, Durant. Westbrook may even be the MVP of the series - that was fairly easy to predict - but Durant is the best player.
he will be when he comes to the lakers in about five years. if not him then another young stud will fall into our laps lifes good. 4-20 smoke some weed.
True, but, he'll have to fail in reality before he'll step back and reconsider, Mog. He's thinking (win or lose this rings attempt): "I'll heal the finger, I'll take it easy and rest my legs and I'll be right as the mail come November." We'll have to have a intervention before he'll see the light if his change is truly structural and not simply temporal.
Unclutch would have been for him to lay down in the 4th, resulting in an easy pull-away Laker win, but as it stands, he was matching Kobe basket for basket down the stretch until that unfortunate basket interference play by one of his Thunder teammates.
So he didn't hit the final shot, so what, Kobe missed a critical FT. Does that mean Kobe's not clutch?
Weak grasping on your part.
Gotta love all the Kobe is a chucker and will cost his team and Durant is the best player in the series and such a pure shooter comments.
Kobe: 41 mins 12-28
Durant: 41 mins 12-26
Kobe has Pau and Bynum
Durant has......Nenad Kristic and Jeff green
Cobbler has..... minor mental re ation
And you're O & 41.
Actually, I have yet to make my NBA debut!
Durant has much, much better athletes around him. To overlook that is to be very ignorant. The Lakers are slower and less athletic but have more size and more skilled players.
Exactly ?
Wow that's better than any comeback I've ever used for that line. Well done.
