The NBA is one of the most entertaining leagues in sports. Every night a different player can lace up his shoes and put on a show that everyone watching will remember.

It doesn’t matter what team you’re a fan of, as long as you love basketball, a player absolutely dominating will be enough to make you smile. (As long as it’s not against your team.)

With so many games going on every night, it’s impossible to keep up with everything. So, every week, we’re going to take a look at the hottest players in basketball and let you know who you should be watching.

Over the past week, which NBA players have been the best? What games should you be tuning in to if you want to watch an electrifying performance?

NBA players every fan needs to watch in Week 4: Kevin Durant

As if it weren’t obvious before, Kevin Durant is one of the greatest NBA players of all time. However, what he’s doing this year has been nothing short of incredible.

With Kyrie Irving out, the Brooklyn Nets have been dealing with some off-court issues. Despite this, Durant is playing some of the best basketball of his career.

The Nets are 5-1 in their last six games, and in those games, Durant is averaging 29.2 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 3.0 assists while shooting 58.4% from the field and 40.0% from deep.

His shooting touch is insane and whenever he gets the ball in his hands it’s bound to be fun to watch. This is a rather obvious one, but make sure to tune in and watch Kevin Durant sometime soon.
