Kevin Durant is a prolific basketball player. However, his career has had a few hiccups because of ankle and Achilles injuries he had suffered over the years. Recently, Durant was indirectly scolded by Amon-Ra St. Brown’s dad for missing out on a workout that could reduce the chances of these injuries.
23-year-old wide receiver, Amon-Ra St. Brown, is the son of 3x Mr. World bodybuilder John Brown. John Brown now trains his two sons, both of whom are wide receivers, during the off-season. The trio was featured in the 16th season of the TV series Hard Knocks. While training his sons, the NFL player’s father had a question for the NBA player.
