NBA MVP Ladder: With Durant playing the best season of his NBA career, fans debate that it will be Durant's dynasty from this point on. Since LeBron is surrounded by two other All-Stars in Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh, he doesn't need to put up monster numbers every night.

With Durant statistically carrying the Oklahoma City Thunder on top of the league, with a on and off Russell Westbrook on his side, they are now looking highly on the biggest prize of the tournament.

While this is all happening, LeBron James, last year's MVP, has nothing but praises for Durant.

"I would say he's the most consistent basketball player as far as the MVP this year, man," James said. "He's put up some great numbers."

"I think KD has had one heck of a season," James said of Durant, the league's leading scorer. "And, you know, if he's rewarded with the MVP, it would be great. It would be awesome for him, for his family. He's played MVP-type basketball. I don't really get caught up into what people say. At the end of the day, they have their own votes and they go from there."

Durant has been considered the front-runner for the award for much of the season and strengthened his candidacy by recently surpassing Michael Jordan's mark by scoring at least 25 points in 41 consecutive games. Durant's streak ended when he scored 23 in Tuesday's win at Sacramento.

Even Hall Of Famer Magic Johnson has expressed his opinion on who should be MVP this season. He said "Kevin Durant scoring 51 points tonight sealed the deal on the NBA MVP race." Durant also poured in 12 rebounds and 7 assists while draining 7-of-12 attempts from beyond the arc-including the game-winner from way downtown with 1.7 seconds left in the second overtime.

Durant is the type of player who has the purest offensive touch and can score in so many different ways. His game has also expanded as he is filling up the rebounding and assist department and he is just about to reach his prime.

Durant is currently averaging 32.2 points, 7.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists while second place of the MVP race LeBron James has 26.6 points, 6.9 rebounds and 6.5 assists.
