Even though Kevin Durant got swept in the playoffs by the Boston Celtics, he is still one of the best players in the world. Kevin Durant is also a player that genuinely loves the game of basketball, and it seems as though he is already back to draining baskets.
A recent video posted by the Hoopbus Instagram page showed that Kevin Durant was casually draining baskets at the bus. In the video, it was clear that Kevin Durant was clearly making routine baskets, and he didn’t miss a single time.
There is no doubt that it’s good to see that Kevin Durant is already shooting baskets once again. Some players like to take a break from basketball after their season ends, but that clearly isn’t the case here. Even during the season, Kevin Durant didn’t want load management and enjoyed playing heavy minutes.
“I know a lot of people, I don’t even know if they’re concerned or not, I just think it’s a conversation to have, like I’m playing more minutes and I’m coming off an injury and all this other stuff. But I like to play.”
“I’m a basketball player, I enjoy to play, I want to play 48 minutes. That’s just what it is. If I could convince coach to play me the whole second half sometimes or put me in earlier in quarters, I’m going to do it every game, it doesn’t matter. My basketball life is not that long, so I want to get the most out of it.”
Hopefully, Kevin Durant is able to bounce back from getting swept next season. Kyrie Irving already indicated that he wants to re-sign with the Brooklyn Nets, and that star duo will be a great foundation for a championship team.
There is no doubt that this was a disappointing season for the Brooklyn Nets as they had championship aspirations at the start of the season. However, it is likely that Kevin Durant will do everything in his power to make them a contending team once again, and we’ll see if he is able to do so.
