Drinking stories are mostly amusing to hear! And apparently, Kevin Durant has a pretty hilarious one. While the entire details of the story remained undisclosed, fans sure did get the idea of how it ended. The Brooklyn Nets superstar is known for his shyness and quiet nature unless he is on the court. However, a 2015 interview showed the other side of KD that was lesser known.

Kevin Durant entered the league through the NBA Draft 2017 at the age of 18. And of course, being drafted into the league is not just a walk in the park. Years and years of practice and skills make an athlete NBA-worthy. Therefore, some players often forget to take time out for focusing on simpler pleasures in life. In KD’s case, it was building self-confidence, the ability to say no, and self-belief. Durant shared that it wasn’t until about 2012 that he started feeling comfortable and felt he was smart enough to make a conversation. In fact, back at the time, he had just started to get accustomed to wine. In an interview with GQ’s Zach Baron, Durant apparently shared some drinking stories that involved a mixture of rather interesting things.

“The one he tells involves a wedding, Don Julio, crutches, and waking up the next morning unable to vomit anywhere but over the side of his bed,” wrote Baron in his article.

Furthermore, Baron revealed that his story involved a friend of his, a bottle of scotch, and his friend asking him the number of shots in the scotch bottle. While Baron didn’t entirely reveal what went down, it did end the same way almost every drinking story ends. Either with passing out, puking, a hammering hangover or a bad headache.

Green, KD, Devin Booker, and others were seen celebrating their victory with drinks in their hands. And the drink was none other than LeBron James‘ tequila brand, Lobos Tequila. As Green pans the camera toward Durant, he apparently thought it was a great time to promote King James’ tequila brand.

“Hey Bron, hey Bron, Bron Bron. We got Lobos in the cup!” shouted KD seemingly drunk.
