Kevin Durant Unfiltered Interview: Injury, Owning A Team,  

I don’t care what nobody says, he is one of the greatest

IDGAF what nobody says KD is the definition of a true hooper HE LOVES THE GAME OF BASKETBALL with a passion. A true all time great man

KD is a legend and one of the kindest most genuine people you'll ever meet.

Thank you kd for getting all this out. People dont know what others are going through and just criticize people for their amusement

KD is the standard for authenticity

Real ball knowers can agree that KD won’t ever be forgotten. Truly one of the greatest to ever pick up a basketball

Kd is smart and lowkey dude and I like it

my goat forever. being a kid watching you in okc with Russ and James 2011 against the mavs. Next season I was an OKC fan.. love you Kevin you’ve changed the game for many kids like me

Dude KD. You are such an example of work ethic. Love you man.

This man retires and I’m not sure I’m gona Stan anyone again. My GOAT🐐 🤦🏾

Kevin DOES NOT have to prove anything to anyone…HIS GOD GIVEN GIFT. HIS LIFE. HIS DECISIONS. He OWES “the people” nothing.

I truly admire KD as an Athlete and a person. His level of self-awareness is so impressive. He's a true Alchemist!

KD is one of the best in history. There is no doubt about this. No matter what others say, it cannot change this fact.

The evolution to Kevin Durant. What a joy it is to watch. My absolute favorite basketball player! I appreciate you KD. The journey. Thank you for what you bring to this game I love so much❤👏🏾💪🏾🫶🏾❤

A misunderstood legend!He's definitely there,along with the other greats of the game.

Great Interview as always KD my GOAT 🐐

Nobody ever talks about his energies but he’s MY GOAT

KD is a legend and an NBA great and one of the greatest players of all time. none of you internet nerds are gonna change that

I don't care what people say about you you are the best God bless you kd❤❤🎉

I tore my Achilles 12/12/23 im going thru all that KD stated. Shi is the worst injury ever n it test u as a human mentally & physically. I had just began my career to wouldn’t wish that injury on no one. I stress a lot about his rehab with finding out the time frame for my return to fully duty. Really hoping i can make it to Fridays game here in Houston to see KD live finally. I’m a very big fan and supporter of Kevin.

AWESOME INTERVIEW KD💯♥️♥️♥️♥️🔥🔥🔥🔥 Kevin Durant

how could you hate this man?

We're here 🐐

Say what you want, all accolades aside Kevin Durant is one of the best basketball players to ever touch the ball.

Greatest ever ❤️ KD #35

Man... I enjoyed this a lot... KD off the court is an amazing dude! Rich did a great job at just speaking and letting speak as well. Great questions

After Kobe my favorite player ever, I fell in love with Kevin Durant.

Thank you, thank you, what an example of love and appreciation for each other! Kevin, thank you for reminding us that “It’s” all about collecting experiences. And for allowing us to watch you move through life learning with all of us why we are here. Peace.

My goat. He’s one of those players who won’t be FULLY appreciated until he leaves the game sadly.💯💯

My 🐐🔥❤️. KD is well spoken, intelligent and very passionate about basketball. People will discredit what he did to the teams he played with but he gave 100% every time his on the court. Just keep what you’re doing KD 🐐🐐. I got teary eyes. Love KD ❤

my favourite player of all time... vilain or not like him or not he got goat level production, numbers, skillset and now longevity while having the worst injury for an athlete. And you can see all those young superstars like wemby, ant, booker, shai talking about KD being their inspiration and the respect he got from his olders peers too like bron steph giannis . To me that is LEGACY and GREATNESS

i loved when kd said the goat conversation is completely subjective. how much do you value a chip? how much do you value a FMVP? how much do you value an MVP? DPOY? All-stars? etc. anyone who truley understands the game of basketball doesn’t need to look at any accolades to tell you that man is one of the greatest players to ever touch the ball. in my opinion if we’re just talking about how much a single player impacts winning he’s the third best player to every touch the ball but unfortunately people don’t wanna look it at objectively.

KD is basketball treasure. A true ambassador of the game..... And he has the smoothest and most enjoyable game to watch that ive aeen in my 45 yeara of watching basketball.

Couldn’t agree more about your take on the GOAT convo. The amount of time people waste getting into heated discussions baffles me. We need to learn to appreciate greatness nothing more nothing less, stop critiquing and comparing just enjoy it.

The fact that KD is still one of the best players right now after such an injury is insane. I love KD man.

Draymond ego destroyed the warriors dynasty they could have won 2 more championships with KD

Kevin Durant my favorite basketball player since he entered the league. a PG county Legend. thank you for being you Easy Money Sniper♥

You definitely have melo status in the city, we don’t let basketball convos go without mentioning kevin!!! Said once and I’ll say it again we appreciate snipe, keep going💪🏾

Get a ring with Dbook KD! ☀️☄️

KD, dude your story makes this old man cry

Def need more of these.. bro so knowledgeable n articulate!

Grateful for what you did for my city KD!! Thunder up!! 🌩️⬆️

He always speaks the truth. That's why his interviews are always so interesting and dope. He is a real student of the game he makes you want to listen.

Love this interview. Excellent insights into a world that most folk like myself could never comprehend. I'm a Suns fan so I'll appreciate KD either way as a player, but now I can appreciated him as someone who's not only great at basketball, but also a great guy. Keep up the grind KD.

I appreciated this interview and the insight yall gave us!

"Sometimes you being upset helps you figure out a problem, but that doesn't mean my life overall is unhappy." That's so true, people who always keep a smile on, I feel like they never dug deep within themselves.

My guy is embracing life. Love the grind and appreciate ya journey.

this was great...stay healthy KD.

Loved this!! ❤❤

I will always love this man.... one of the purest basketball players I have ever seen. Bro if you retire today, I might not follow the NBA the same. You and Kobe are my favorite players of all time.

My G.O.A.T

Amazing interview, best relaxed open KD represented. insightful

solid interview! thanks for this

Really enjoyed this sit down. I’ve always respected KD’s perspective on ball because he’s not a fan of this troll era. Hearing his story from his mouth really helps you understand him as a person.

Such great perspective not only on the game but life in general. I don't understand basketball much but as a sports and life lover this was refreshing ❤.

One of the best for sure. Also one of my favorite to watch!

These always be refreshing 💎

I was a huge KD fan but had cooled off on him in recent years because I wasn’t a fan of the attitude but after this, I totally understand it all now. I’m back to a KD fan boy. Not quite a Stan tho. GREAT INTERVIEW. I learned so much about KD. This had a Kobe vibe as well.

KD was fried during this 😂

Dope interview shoutout to KD

This is dope 🔥

MOST HUMBLE 💯

You are the only superstar who engages in a convo about your craft with some random folks. At least we know you are a human being not some Villain as they promote you as. I have come to terms with the role they portray you as it’s about business. Remember that there was never no hype about you coming into the league as they assumed cause of your size you couldn’t succeed. Just few months ago you entered the top ten in points in the history of all the greats which have played. What is amazing is how consistent you have been throughout your career always putting up whatever it takes. Coming back from that injury putting up historic performances and being so close is a movie alone. Then leading your country when many of your peers didn’t come through afterwards on the world stage is another glorious moment. There is nothing you have to prove to the real fans who have witnessed everything. They keep bringing up your 2 championships and 2 Finals MVP in many debates about whether you earned them or not. They are not blind as we all watched you dominate from the moment you stepped into the Bay Area. More than anything I actually want to acknowledge their franchise player who didn’t show any selfishness and let you be what you were. You didn’t shy away from the moment and took over which is credit to everyone there and you being prepared for it. Can’t take nothing away from you. You got understand that the game has evolved and the brand doesn’t just want to sale about who can fly and throw it down which was the most exciting for so long. It has now moved to long range at a high clip and they wanted to market that. So in order to sale that brand they had to raise that specific player or face of what they wanted to promote. In that business plan to raise him higher they had minimize his teammates impact less. Just say you are the casualty in the game of brand promotion. Plus they want to reach as many buyers as possible so with that player having families and kids they want to target all families and kids. But to keep reaching to every households they have to keep saying that player name and since you are associated they have to take shots at you in the same sentence. Nothing personal just business. To make matters worse they already have one other player they focused all their money on before until you came along. Once they realized you were actually that great they made some room for you until the third player came into his own later on. So you had one they wanted to be the next big thing better than MJ to sale more brands and here comes this tall one who can do everything we need to give a shot at it. Then while that market is taking foot boy did he come in there splashing from long range. One already had a ground and so much has been invested into and you were being invested in to certain extent but once the third one came they had to put a pause on your marketing strategy. The fans buy into it and it works as most believe it’s cause of you their chosen one didn’t get 6 to end that greatest debate which still goes on. The fans of the other is also saying it’s cause of how great that long range was you dominated to get 2 fmvps. We get it but your consistency and efficiency over your whole career has shown us you can do it with any one on that mountain. As a fan I used to get mad and angry about why they disrespecting you but I have long come to understand it’s more about business. One more thing I still believe on your biggest games that to push that business forward they let the opponents get away with too much fouls on you cause none can guard you if they called them fouls. Hopefully they let you play without being held and pushed around so we witness your last few years as you have done so much for the game. You are the greatest in my eyes.

My favorite player forever 💯📖

Great conversation guys.

The part on perspective after the championships and motivation of working on the craft is great.

Dope conversation. Good vibes.

One of my favorite players ever

I still remember buying my first KDs and having a different feeling for the game. ThanKs KD !Appreciate everything you have done for basketball 🏀

Kevin Durant is the 🐐 in more ways than one! 🌟 Not only does he dominate on the court with his skills and finesse, but he also inspires others with his charitable work and positive impact off the court. 🕊️❤️️‍🔥

This is great and definitely needed, it’s only right to set people perspectives again nothing to restrict but we can’t never get enough of Trey five

KD is one of the all time greats. He is currently and has been one of my favorite players ever. When he tore his Achilles I cried like a baby. This man doesn’t get enough respect for just being the player he is today post injury and taking into account how consistent he’s been his entire career. No matter how nasty the media try’s to paint their narrative they can never paint my own perspective of the player he is.

he’s the goat. greatest of all time. idc.

been watching kd since i was 7. he’s been near the top of the league this entire time. talk about longevity. gonna be a sad day when he retires

Great interview! KD is the man, a true legend, love his chill vibe 😊

dope pod. dope dudes. dope setting.

My favorite player EVER next to Dirk. I love the way he sees the game, understands himself, and carries it. My guy!!!

Kevin Durant is a generational talent in basketball, we will never see another KD. I don’t care what nobody says, he’s the greatest of all time!

so happy he chose phoenix! ✴️

Incredible watch. Have so much love for KD. Nice to get to know partner in crime Rich as well.

greatness. Him + Rich K

Love you KD- you're work ethic is outstanding, but your humanity glows.

Great Job! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Great Kd interview actually best one yet
