Kevin Durant: 'Whole Oklahoma City Thunder team deserves MVP award'

Kevin Durant has said that the entire Oklahoma City Thunder team deserve the NBA's Most Valuable Player award for the 2013-14 season.

The forward was revealed as the league's MVP for the first time in his career yesterday, having averaged 32 points per game during the regular season.

The 25-year-old told ESPN: "I put in so much work and so many people helped me. I feel like we all won it.

"Our equipment guy gave me a hug today and said, 'This is my first MVP,' and I thought about that. And I said, 'Yeah, this is our first MVP'.

"I couldn't have done it without the teammates, without the trainer. Everybody. We all just did this together."

The Thunder begin their Western Conference semi-final series against the Los Angeles Clippers later today.
