Tribune: Who is your early pick to win it all?
(George) KARL: I’ve always kind of been on the Oklahoma City bandwagon. Mentally, they have an edge. Kevin Durant has to win this year. The Russell Westbrook injury has put them in a bad place, but he’ll be back. (Durant) had the best team the last two years and hasn’t won a championship yet. It’s a very important year for his brand. He’s the second-best player in the game (behind LeBron James).
