Like, say, Thabo Sefolosha and Nenad Krstic. Co-cover boys on SI's NBA Preview issue.
Now, Durant deserves the cover. He's the league's brightest story right now, and you want to tell that story with his team's potential in mind. It's not unlike putting LeBron James on the cover to start 2006-07. Of course, that cover would have had to include Eric Snow and Larry Hughes.
It's not as if Russell Westbrook isn't one of the league's best young point men, and James Harden might put Vinnie Johnson to shame one day. But look at Nenad. Even he's a bit bemused. And though Thabo is still one of my favorite players -- I love defense -- come on, Thabo Sefolosha?
(Hat tip to the, uh, NBA.)
