    Kevin Durant went back-to-back [url=http://www.newyorkjetsteamonline.com/sam-darnold-jersey]Cheap Sam Darnold 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.[img]http://www.sndpic.com//nike_nfl_jerseys/nike_denver_broncos/nike_broncos_2901.jpg[/img]

    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.jetscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-sam-darnold-jersey]Authentic Sam Darnold 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.clevelandbrownsteamonline.com/baker-mayfield-jersey]Authentic Baker Mayfield 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.billscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-josh-allen-jersey]Cheap Josh Allen Jersey[/url] , Shaquille O’Neal, Tim Duncan and LeBron James, and two-timers Kobe Bryant, Larry Bird [url=http://www.brownsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-baker-mayfield-jersey]Authentic Baker Mayfield 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.giantscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-saquon-barkley-jersey]Authentic Saquon Barkley 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.
