Age: 24

Prime Remaining: 10-11 years

Let’s get one thing out of the way right off the bat.

Kevin Durant is going to be a superstar for a very long time.

The small forward is playing the best basketball of his career, and it can be argued that he hasn’t even entered his prime. At 24 years old, Durant is constantly improving, and it’s scary to think how good he’s going to be just a few years down the road.

Every player maxes out at some point, and Durant isn’t even close. His defense is getting better, he’s become an improved facilitator and he’s on the heels of joining the 54-40-90 club.

He’s even showing more emotion on the floor, which has boosted his image as a leader and a competitor.

Durant’s style of play allows him to score at the rim, but where he exceeds is in the mid range. He doesn’t get enough credit for his ability to score between the foul line and the three-point line, and that game is going to be around until the day he retires.

Give Durant another 10 years of doing what he’s doing, then we’ll talk about when we can expect him to come back down to earth.
