Kevin Durant went back-to-back [url=http://www.authenticsdenverbroncos.com/cheap-courtland-sutton-jersey]Courtland Sutton Color Rush Jersey[/url] , twice.

It’s now two straight NBA championships for the Golden State Warriors, and two consecutive NBA Finals MVP awards for the forward who played a huge role in getting them to those titles.

Durant scored 20 points in the Game 4 clincher Friday night, a 108-85 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers – but his series will be remembered most for what he did in Game 3. Durant scored 43 points in that game, including a 33-foot 3-pointer in the final minute to all but clinch the win for the Warriors.

Durant averaged 28.8 points in the series [url=http://www.authenticstennesseetitans.com/cheap-rashaan-evans-jersey]Rashaan Evans Color Rush Jersey[/url] , along with 10.8 rebounds and 7.5 assists.

”It’s just about the journey, all season,” Durant said. ”Getting up every day, going to work with these guys [url=http://www.jetsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-nathan-shepherd-jersey]http://www.jetsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-nathan-shepherd-jersey[/url] , it’s amazing. The environment is incredible. It’s good for you to be around guys like this. It helps you become a better basketball player and a better man.”

There were 11 voters for the MVP award; Durant got seven votes, Stephen Curry – who still doesn’t have a Finals MVP – got the other four.

”Does it matter? Does it? Does it?” Durant asked. ”We won two championships. We just won back-to-back. I don’t think anybody’s even worried about that type of stuff.”

Durant becomes the 11th player to win Finals MVP twice, joining six-time winner Michael Jordan, three-timers Magic Johnson [url=http://www.minnesotatwinsteamshop.com/authentic-eduardo-escobar-jersey]Eduardo Escobar Minnesota Twins Jersey[/url] , Shaquille O’Neal, Tim Duncan and LeBron James, and two-timers Kobe Bryant, Larry Bird [url=http://www.billsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-russell-bodine-jersey]http://www.billsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-russell-bodine-jersey[/url] , Hakeem Olajuwon, Willis Reed and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

He’s also the sixth player to win it in consecutive years, with Jordan, O’Neal [url=http://www.authenticsnewyorkgiants.com/cheap-kyle-lauletta-jersey]Kyle Lauletta Color Rush Jersey[/url] , James, Olajuwon and Bryant being the others.

Since 2009 the award has been named for Celtics legend Bill Russell, the 11-time champion who surely would have won the award several times if it existed in his long run of finals dominance. The Finals MVP was first handed out in 1969 – Russell’s final season with the Celtics.

Durant is one of 31 players to win the award.
