Durant received his first All-Star game MVP award Sunday night after leading the West to a 152-149 victory over the East.
The Oklahoma City Thunder forward scored 36 points and grabbed seven rebounds to help the West build a 21-point cushion before withstanding a late charge by LeBron James and the East.
Durant said afterward that being an All-Star MVP was something he dreamed about as a kid and he was happy to share the experience with Thunder coach Scott Brooks and teammate Russell Westbrook.
