Are Frances Tiafoe and Kevin Durant Related? What Connects the NBA Superstar to American Tennis Icon

Basketball is one of the biggest sports in the US, and every nook and cranny of the country has been influenced by NBA culture. Even the players of the USTA find themselves to be big fans of the sport. Frances Tiafoe is one such player and is often seen attending NBA games. One of his favorite players is Kevin Durant, star of the Phoenix Suns. Durant, in turn, is also a big fan of the American tennis star. The 2x NBA champion has often talked about Big Foe and praised the energy he brings to the game. As the two adore each other, there is also a common factor between them.

Both Durant and Tiafoe are from Washington D.C., and the two stars are making their hometown proud with their skills. Both have reached a high status in their sport and are on their way to bringing even better results. Recently, Tiafoe attended a game of the Phoenix Suns, and they won against the Washington Wizards, 140-112.

Tiafoe shared many pictures from the event on his Instagram page and also added a picture of him and Durant hugging. With the post, he uploaded the caption, “A weekend to remember dope having two dc legends X 🐐🐐22 at the crib. BB3 sooo happy to see you back we missed you dawg. No place like home man.”

As Tiafoe watched Durant and his comrades demolish the Wizards, Durant saw a similar performance of Tiafoe in the Citi Open in 2023. He even talked about how energetic he seemed.
