Kevin Durant is the Rookie of the Year

I think we all saw it coming, especially when we heard that Greg Oden wouldn't play this year.

Kevin Durant won the NBA's Rookie of the Year Award yesterday, and defeated Al Horford by a pretty big margin (90 first place votes to Horford's 30), Luis Scola was third with 5 first place votes.

Durant put in 20.3 points per game, 4.4 rebounds per game and 2.4 assists per game.

Durant will only get better, he was the focus of that team and had tonsof weight on his shoulders. That said, I agree that you have to give him his props and let Al Horford know that even though he didn't get the award, his team is in Game Six against Boston tonight and Kevin Durant will be playing video games at his place today.
