Kevin Durant is undoubtedly an all-time NBA great. So how could arguably the league's best player be ranked outside the top five players in the league?
That's the question that many were asking themselves when ESPN ranked the top 10 players in the NBA.

You can be sure that Durant will be keeping receipts on those who have doubted him and knocked him off the top 5 list.
Preseason play is two weeks away, but until the regular season gets underway, Durant win just need to let this criticism fuel him for the upcoming campaign.
