And just think back to his career… I heard whispers, I was like ‘okay, you know he’s a fan, oh I’m his favorite player, okay cool’. People say that. And then to actually hear from the horse’s mouth, it’s unbelievable. And getting the opportunity to play against him, watching him as a rookie and remember hearing how they said could he survive in the league because he wasn’t strong enough.” The greatest dunker expressed his keen pleasure to KD’s message.

“At one point it was like ‘oh, he can only go left in the hesitation and the scouting, that’s what you guard him on’. And now, he can go right, he can go whatever he wants, he’ll pull up, he can shoot. He can do it all, so it’s just been great to see him mature, grow and become a champion and do it his way.” Kevin Durant has been the binding force at the Nets.
