Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder was named the winner of the PBWA’s Magic Johnson Award, given annually to the player who combines on-court performance with steady co-operation with the media, in the same manner as Johnson did during his Hall of Fame career.
Durant was voted the winner over finalists Manu Ginobili of the San Antonio Spurs, Elton Brand of the Sixers and Derrick Rose of the Chicago Bulls.
“Kevin’s a uniquely skilled individual on the court and his willingness to accept the media responsibilities that go with his place in the game are valued by writers who cover the league,” said the PBWA president Doug Smith.
