    I found this interesting, just look at how close these players are in terms of impact in their 7th season. Just about everyone considers Jordan the GOAT and believed LeBron has been on his way to becoming a top 5 player all time. However most never gave Durant a real shot at getting to this level and considered his absolute ceiling to barely crack the top 10 all time, with the more likely scenario being him finish somewhere between 12-20 all time. However his impact at this point is right up there with Jordan and LeBron, arguably having a better 7th year than either of them.

    Durant hasn't yet finished his year, and LeBron only played 76 games whereas Jordan played 82. To make up for this, I scaled all of their stats to 82 games to level the numbers. Durant's record was calculated by multiplying OKC's winning % by 82, they're on pace to win 61 games.
