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. Every time I step on the court, I wanna be able to do everything on a basketball court. So if the best player in the world comes with that, that’s cool but I’m chasing something different everyday.”

During the podcast session, Tampa Bay Buccaneers star Tom Brady praised Kevin Durant for his ability to focus no matter what. Brady talked about KD’s competitive personality and commended him for always giving his best on the court. In response, KD said that while he was always excited about playing on the court with his teammates, it has become a ‘mental obstacle’ in trying to figure out the best possible way to balance his work and life.

“The reality is, when it comes down to it, your competitiveness takes over and as much as you wanna have this playful balance with the work balance, you’re gonna end up doing exactly what you’ve always done,” Brady told KD.

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.”
