Why does no one ever talk about Kevin Durant’s ability to make his teammates better? KD has shown in multiple stops that players don’t have to sacrifice or change their game to play with him. He's such a gifted offensive player that he can fit any system or be the system.

I often remind people that Lil Wayne and Jay Z both basically blew up within a year of each other but there's a 13 year age difference. Hot Boys, 'Get It How U Live!' came out in 1997 and sold more than 400,000 copies. That's 23 years of killing for Lil Wayne.
lil wayne has been rapping professionally for 25 years and isn't even 40 yet.
