CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Warriors star Kevin Durant has won every major NBA award there is to win: Rookie of the Year, MVP, Finals MVP and All-Star Game MVP.

Now, he’s just padding the Basketball Hall of Fame résumé, which includes two Olympic gold medals and the 2010 FIBA World Cup MVP.

Durant won his second AllStar Game MVP award with a 31-point performanc­e Feb. 17 in Team LeBron’s 178-164 victory against Team Giannis.

“It’s all sweet to me. I mean, it’s hard to rank. Everything’s special,” Durant said. “But it’s cool to be out there with some of the best players to ever play the game, and to win an MVP here in front of my family and friends is pretty sweet. I just keep trying to rack them up, I guess.”
