Inside the Mind of Kevin Durant
KD speaks out on his style, his plans and even his personal fears.
The NBA Season is quickly approaching and there’s one person who is looking forward to it more than any “biggest fan” of the league and that’s Oklahoma City Thunder’s Kevin Durant. Former MVP and scoring champion, Durant was limited to only playing 27 games last season due to unfortunate injury setbacks. Averaging 32 points per game along with 7.4 rebounds and 5.5 assist per game to complement a beautiful season, Nike’s own KD was able to discuss his thoughts on what he fears the most, his personal style and what he plans to leave the game of basketball. Peep KD’s input below and check out all of Durant’s viewpoints here.
My biggest fear is that I might be taking it all for granted. Being able to do something I love every single day is a blessing. We play so many games, we have so many practices — it flies by. By the time it’s all said and done, I worry that I might not have really enjoyed every single day as a pro.
I don’t want to say it’s a competition, but [professional basketball players] always want to look good. Guys aren’t comparing all the time, but I think everybody wants his own lane to stay in. So I just try to do my own thing and not worry about what other players have on. I just want to enjoy what I have on and feel good in it. And I’ve been doing that lately.
If I don’t like it, I won’t wear it — no matter what design it is or who made it. I’m real simple with it. If it has a nice fit, I’ll wear it.
I want to be a Hall of Famer, have multiple championships and, most of all, I just want to leave my mark on the city. I want to inspire the youth and be remembered as one of those guys who impacted lives, on and off the court.
