How does Kevin Durant spell "MVP?" M-o-m. In his emotional acceptance speech Tuesday, during which the "Slim Reaper" became the slim weeper, he wasn't mum about who deserves credit for the accomplishment, singling out his mama for the sacrifices she made for him growing up. So, with several days to spare before Mother's Day, (show-off) he honored her with touching testimony and a trophy touting what a terrific tyke she raised, which really puts our ho-hum Hallmark card and cruddy candle into perspective* . It's one thing for him to make defenders look bad, but it's another to make sons look bad (he presented her with a pro prize and we couldn't be bothered to buy ProFlowers^).
"Mr. Unreliable" was Mister Fantastic the entire season, leading the league in scoring for the fourth time and posting 25 or more points in 41 consecutive contests. Last spring, he said he was sick of being second, and this season he was second-to-none. Durant's dominance was apparent to everyone - even LeBron, who ahead of the announcement admitted Durant "deserves" it - just as it's apparent which parent Durant loves.
*mommy, if you're wondering why your edible arrangement arrived with most of the melons missing, blame Durant for depressing us
^our mug making us out to be #1 is meaningless, we might as well mail it to KD
