In April 2010, Kevin Durant won Western Conference Player of the Month

34.6 PPG 7.9 RPG 3.8 APG 2.0 SPG 1.6 BPG
47.8 FG% 42.6 3p% 94.6 FT%
4-4 Record

Kevin's season high that season was 45 Points on 62.5 FG% against the Spurs on 22 March, 2010

KD's ON/OFF that season was +16.5

Despite leading OKC to 50 wins, KDs team was still only an 8 seed since the West was incredibly tough

He would face his idol Kobe and the champions Lakers in his first playoff series of his career and OKC put up a great fight coming seconds away from forcing a Game 7

KD vs Lakers in 2010 POs

25.0 PPG 7.7 RPG 2.3 APG 1.3 BPG
35.0 FG% 28.6 3p% 87.1 FT%

He struggled in his first Playoff series, but still had his moments

in Game 2, KD dropped 32 and had 4 blocks and came very close to stealing home court but Kobe would close it out for the Lakers

In the Game 3 win, KD nearly had a 30/20 game posting 29 Points and 19 Rebounds in a win.

That was KDs first playoff win of his career

In Game 4, KD scored 22 pts on 50% shooting as OKC blew the Lakers out to surprisingly tie the series 2-2

KD tho would struggle after OKC tied the series

in Game 5 he had 17 on 5/14 shooting and in Game 6 KD had 26 on 5/23 shooting though he got to the line a lot and shot 14/15 from there

Although KD didn't have a great series, he had his moments

he was still only in his 3rd year and going up against the defending champions so the struggles aren't that surprising

KD was only 21 and was averaging 30, leading the league in scoring and taking his team to the Playoffs in a ridiculously tough Western Conference

This season also earned KD an opportunity to play for Team USA where he straight carried his country to a World Cup Gold

KD averaged 22.8 PPG on 55/45/91% splits, no other USA player averaged double digits in this run

He was the MVP of the tournament

In the Quarter Final against Slovenia he had 33 points, in the Semi Final against Lithuania he had 38 Points and in the Final against Turkey KD had 28 Points

He was incredible in that tournament
