When asked how he takes it to be the best player in the world, KD replied, “I don’t look at it that way, I feel like I’m mastering my craft. I wanna be the best version of myself.

I think he is just so authentic to who he is on and off the court. I feel like, he holds his teammates to a very high standard.”
