Kevin Durant is one of the best players in the world, but he has had to work extremely hard on his craft to get to the position he is in today. KD is one of the most polished scorers we have ever seen at his size, as the 7-foot forward can do everything on the offensive side of the court.
What KD has achieved in the league is undisputed, whether you agree with his off-the-court actions like signing with the Golden State Warriors or giving the Brooklyn Nets ultimatums or not.
A basketball coach used KD’s life story to inspire his kids, telling them that KD doesn’t even taunt players like LeBron James when he scores because KD is playing to make his youth basketball coach proud, who was shot when KD was 16 years old.
“You know why Kevin Durant scare me? Because when Durant score, he don’t say nothing. He get nobody excited. He’s not trying to get LeBron pissed off or pumped up, he just scored on my man like ‘shh’. Only thing he does at the end of the game is kiss his mama, hug his brothers, alright I’m out. Game over.”
“The first thing he does when he steps on the court is touch the numbers on the front and the numbers on the back. He’s doing that for who? Which coach? His coach that was killed. His coach died at what age? What number does KD wear? He got a why, he ain’t playing for no championship.”
The real-life struggles of NBA players often dictate their life to a point where they may not be able to make it to the league trying to overcome their lot in life.
Durant has been able to not only overcome challenges like the death of his coach but far exceed expectations to become an all-time great. He has taken care of his family for generations and achieved the dream of billions around the world through his hard work and dedication, all to memorialize his coach, Charles Craig.
