Kevin Durant still remains one of the best players in the NBA at 36.

The Phoenix Suns star finished the regular season with averages of 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.2 blocks per contest while shooting 52.7% from the field and 43.0% from the three-point range in 62 games.

That said, the Suns were the 11th seed in the Western Conference with a 36-46 record.

Since the Suns missed the NBA playoffs, there has been a lot of rumors about Durant getting traded this summer.
