When Russell was out, you stepped your game up for me, for the team. There were nights where you made me look way better than I am. You clean up so many of our mistakes, man, and we appreciate that. From everybody on the team, we appreciate that, man, and I thank you so much for giving me confidence when I didn't have it, for always being there when I wanted to talk to you, when I wanted to call, for arguing with me all the time, making me better, and realizing I'm not always right. Thank you, man. I appreciate you.
Kevin DurantI donโt watch a lot of other basketball away from the gym. But I do look at LeBronโs box score. I want to see how many points, rebounds and assists he had, and how he shot from the field. If he had 30 points, nine rebounds and eight assists, I can tell you exactly how he did it, what type of shots he made and who he passed to.
Kevin DurantI'm a basketball player. That's what I do and what I love but that's just not all who I am. I'm talented in a lot of different areas.
Kevin DurantI'm obviously not going to give you everything about my whole life, but as far as my personality, you see me all the time from watching the games.
