Blake Niemann: Kevin Durant on his impact on basketball being recognized by the next generation of NBA players: “It’s pretty cool when you hear it from the real players, the guys actually putting in the work, that are trying to make it to the NBA. You hear what I’ve meant to them and their careers. Then you hear what other people say about me sometimes, and they don’t understand my impact. But when you talk to the players, they give you a whole different story, which is pretty cool. It always comes down to what the guys on the floor are saying about you. Those are the opinions I really respect.” -via x.com / August 6, 2024
