The ESPN 500 player list is almost complete with the release of numbers 10-7 earlier today. The list has drawn much debate with Kobe coming in at number 40, and KD who was ranked number 2 last season, was ranked number 8. Durant took to twitter to respond, but ended up deleting the tweet. Hit the jump for details. Via Bleacher Report:
ESPN justified the ranking by explaining that the Jones fracture in Durant’s right foot bumped last year’s No. 2 down six spots, with Royce Webb stating “Instead of shooting jumpers, he’s shooting selfies.”
