The Warriors led the league in block shots last season and Durant played a big role in that as he ended the season with 1.6 block shots per game. This season he has improved that number to 2.1. Not only has he improved his number of block shots per game, his shooting from beyond the arc has also increased to 43.2 percent (a career-high) this season from 37 percent.
His sensational performance in the 2017 NBA Finals has raised debates about him being better than LeBron as the best player in the world, but there still time before Durant can surpass LeBron.
