There are some people who say that Kevin Durant of the Phoenix Suns lacks loyalty to his teams or perhaps doesn’t have the right attitude on social media.
But few can deny that he’s a terrific and one-of-a-kind basketball player.
Former player Theo Pinson spoke with Tidal League, via ClutchPoints, about the power of Durant and when he realized just how special he is.
“I probably worked out [with Durant] twice. We were playing three-on-three… It was a time where you are just seeing a master at scoring the ball and just loves hoop,” Pinson said.
He added: “You just don’t see nothing like him.”

Pinson is one of many who have said that Durant is a special type of player.
According to just about everyone who knows him, Durant lives and breathes basketball and not much else.
He isn’t the type to appear at nightclubs or many social events.
Instead, the man is only laser-focused on playing basketball and being the best at it.
Since his entry into the league, many have marveled at the way that Durant moves and scores.
He makes it all look so effortless.
Durant has been in the NBA for 15 years now and is still posting jaw-dropping numbers.
Last season, he scored 29.1 points per game on 56% from the field.
He is still considered one of the best shooters in the league, even as other young players have come into the NBA and attempted to score like him.
Although he can be a lights-out shooter, some question his ability to lead a team.
He will need to enhance those leadership s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁s in the months ahead as the Suns are now without Chris Paul, who filled that role for several seasons.
