Kevin Durant Off The Court

No doubt, Kevin Durant is one of the best players in the NBA with fans all across the nations. Usually, the second someone comes to the top of the game and gain all these titles, their ego plays a high scale on their character, leading to cockiness and unacceptable behaviors. With Durant, it's all opposite. When on the court, Durant has no fear but to present his opponents with fearful plays. Embarrassing legends and making all star players look silly on the court. Of course his interactions with players say the opposite. He's easily coachable and doesn't resist his faults when mentioned by his coach. Even though he is the best player in many games they play, you can't tell him apart by his behavior but the skills he presents. Durant never uses foul mouth or show frustrations when losing. In fact, there was one time where he did that and the whole fans and media showed tremendous reactions. Usually if another player does that, it's pretty normal.

That's not even close to what makes Durant stand out. The way he presents himself outside of the court is what shapes this amazing player. As wealthy as he is, you can't tell him apart from any poor person he may be working out with in the gym. So you can infer that he's not really a flashy type of guy. His public speaking abilities have matured tremendously over time, now he's very fluent in responding to reporters and making sure he gets his points out there for the fan to acknowledge. KD is always smiling, even if it means getting kicked out of the NBA finals with loss. He greets people gently with smile and welcomes all individuals. The biggest of all? His connection to his family. Durant is always loyal to his family, spends time with them, and shares all of his success with them, especially with his mother.
