LeBron James had some extremely high praise for Kevin Durant after his epic performance in Game 3

You know when you're witnessing greatness on the basketball court and Wednesday night, that was the case during Game 3 of the NBA Finals.

Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson had an off night for the Golden State Warriors, but Kevin Durant recorded a playoff career-high 43 points in a 110-102 Warriors win.  Durant was ultra efficent going 15-23 from the field and he added 13 boards and 7 assists in the win, too.

It was arguably the greatest game of his career and after the game, KD received some incredibly high praise from the best player in basketball, LeBron James, who recorded a triple-double in the loss.

In terms of praise from your peers, it doesn't get much better than that and James' assessment of Durant is absolutely correct.

Regardless of what you think of him joining the Warriors, you can't deny how special Durant is and that he's going to end up in the Hall of Fame when it's all said and done.

James wasn't the only player singing KD's praises, either, as players from across the league reacted to his incredible game on Twitter.
