Durant at night

[Steve Ouellette]

Not saying I'd go for Durant ... but if he's Kevin Garnett and Oden is Ewing (much more likely than Bill Russell), well, there's quite a debate over who is more valuable. Oden has been playing well, and playing with a wounded shooting hand, but aside from the high school hype, he hasn't shown that he's a better basketball player than Durant.
