00:00Kevin Durant just got a two-year extension.

00:02He hasn't played a day yet for the Houston Rockets,

00:04but they gave him a two-year extension for $90 million.

00:10And the accountants got together and realized that Kevin Durant

00:16is now the highest-paid basketball player in the history of basketball.

00:21Yes, indeed. He passed LeBron with this contract.

00:23And I want to say this. Well-deserved, too.

00:26When I think of unstoppable offensive players,

00:30a guy who can play 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5,

00:33has a shot that you can't block or stop,

00:36can get to the rim when he wants to,

00:38has perfected the mid-range J,

00:40can shoot from behind the arc,

00:42and is a menace defensively when he wants to play defense?

00:47I can't think of anybody else in the league

00:49during his tenure that's still around

00:52that should have made more money than Kevin Durant.

00:54I think Kevin Durant is one of the five greatest basketball players

00:59in the history of the NBA.

01:01I don't think LeBron James is anywhere near as good as Kevin Durant

01:05if you take both of them in their prime.

01:08Huh?

01:08That's right. I said it.

01:09What?

01:10Kevin Durant is and always was a better all-around basketball player

01:15than LeBron James.

01:17And while LeBron's got him in every stat imaginable,

01:20the reality is this.

01:22Kevin Durant has always been better.

01:24And I'm glad that Kevin Durant is now the highest-paid player of all time.

01:28It would have been Jordan, of course.

01:30It could have been Kobe, of course.

01:32But I'm glad it ain't LeBron.

01:34Kevin Durant is deserving of every penny he's gotten.

01:38I wish he hadn't changed teams so much.

01:40But that's my issue as a fan.

01:42Uh-huh.

01:43But Kevin Durant is the greatest offensive player this sport has seen since Kobe

01:50and before Kobe, since Michael, and before Michael, Will Chamberlain.

01:56And that's a period stop.

01:58Congratulations to Kevin Durant,

02:00A top-five basketball player in the history of the NBA

02:05and for his entire career,

02:07a better all-around basketball player than LeBron James.

02:11Let that sink in for a minute.

02:13It's not true.

02:14It could be true.

02:15It could be true.

02:16It's not true.

02:17It's not true.
