Durant is a professional athelte and i know many people who can easily bench 185. a PRO ATHELE.. durant was the ONLY player in the combine who couldnt bench 185 even once. oden (same age even though he fought in vietnam) seemed to be able to do it. mike conley a POINT GUARD managed to get some. durant is a FOWARD. he will be playing against the likes of lebron..and marion, and melo.. no way in hell that his weak ass could handle them. the only thing the sonics can do is move durant to guard so he wont have to handle as many guys near the post. and those "best big man ever" quotes. not mine. they are from TV analysists and sportsreporters
