NBA superstar Kevin Durant has a lot on his plate this season. As he works to restore himself to full health following an Achilles injury, and lead the Nets to a title, the pressure is on for him to really show what he’s capable of this year.
Still, it doesn’t mean he doesn’t have time to enjoy the small things in life — like the upcoming “Godzilla vs. King Kong” movie set to come out in the near future.
Featuring two of the most iconic monsters, the movie is generating a lot of hype from people around the world, including Durant, who chimed in with his own take on who he feels should come out on top.

Considering all the drama the Nets have endured this year, it’s probably a good thing that their biggest controversy right now is a debate on a fight between a super-lizard and giant-ape.
