by John Emerson (Author) "I've been second my whole life. I was the second best player in high school. I was the second pick in the draft. I've been second in MVP voting three times. I came second in the Finals. I'm tired of being second. I'm done with it." - Kevin Durant Despite being the second best player out of high school, he still made basketball relevant for a college that was known predominantly for its football program. Despite being drafted second, he would still go on to win the Rookie of the Year Award. And despite him coming up second in the Finals, nobody doubted Kevin Durant's ability to bounce back, grow and develop for another shot at basketball immortality. Finally, despite coming up second place in MVP voting three times, he finally broke through past his second place position in 2014, winning the MVP trophy as well as hearts all around the world. This book is about the journey of Kevin Durant from being in poverty to constantly being the #2 player in the league to being the best, the #1, the MVP. It's when hard work beats talent.
