More quotes by Kevin Durant
I was always in the gym. People would look at me crazy because I spent so much time there. But that's what it was about. I'm glad I did it.
Kevin Durant
I wanted to the best player in the state - [the best] the area has ever seen. That's always been my goal. Guys like Elgin Baylor, Adrian Dantley and Dave Bing, it's tough to pass those guys. So I'm studying, working. My project's not over yet. Hopefully, I get there.
Kevin Durant
I'm tired of being second.... I'm done with it.
Kevin Durant
I was the second-best player in high school. I was the second pick in the draft. I've been second in the MVP voting three times. I came in second in the Finals. I'm tired of being second. I'm not going to settle for that. I'm done with it.
Kevin Durant
I come from a small county outside of Washington DC called PG County, and me, my mom, my brother, we moved so many different places growing up. And it felt like a box. It felt like there was no getting out.
Kevin Durant
Every memory I had growing up was involving a basketball. I didn't go to the prom and stuff like that. It was always basketball for me.
Kevin Durant
I feel like I can get a good feel for people.
Kevin Durant
Experience is the best teacher. I've been through a lot - going to the Olympics, going to the Finals, having a lot of good games and having a lot of bad games. It's a rollercoaster ride and I'm just happy I'm a part of it. If it was easy, then everybody could do it.
Kevin Durant
You know, I don't want to stand out too much.
Kevin Durant
Perk, from the minute you got here... I hated you before you got here... But the moment you got here, man, you just changed my whole perception of you. Just one of the best teammates I ever had. I just thank you so much. The late night calls after tough games, you texting me, telling me I'm the MVP. That means a lot to me, man. Thank you.
Kevin Durant
Hopefully before I'm done, I can be on an Olympic team.
Kevin Durant
If I'd gone straight to the NBA, I don't think I would have been ready as a player or a person.
Kevin Durant
There's a lot of falses - out there and if I take up for myself, it's a bad thing. Sometimes you just got to live with it, but for the most part, I'm like look, I don't want no problems with nobody.
Kevin Durant
I would describe my style as off the wall. I like stuff that doesn't match. I just like to stand out.
Kevin Durant
We live in a world of what have you done for me lately. We don't remember the day before sometimes. Think back five, six, years ago what he was doing. It's unheard of.
Kevin Durant
I'm not into no basketball beef.
Kevin Durant
A big market is something that doesn't really concern me too much. It's cool to think about, it's good for off-the-court deals. But I'm more of a basketball player. That's what I want to be known as. And this is the best place for me to play basketball. I'm glad I'm here.
Kevin Durant
I just loved being in the gym. It was tough at times. Sometimes I wanted to quit, but I'm glad I stuck with it.
Kevin Durant
Grateful for this opportunity with Roc Nation Sports. It’s go time.
Kevin Durant
I ride for my guys. That's the bro code.
