Kevin Durant is one of the best players in the NBA right now. The 33-year-old forward is crucial for the Nets’ title challenge for the 2021-22 season. However, apart from basketball, Durant is a big fan of football and once said that he would have been a wide receiver if he played football.
Durant recently spent some time with NFL star Eli Manning and even received a touchdown pass from him at the MetLife Stadium. With the Nets superstar admitting that would have been a wide receiver if not for basketball, Eli Manning said that Durant would have been unstoppable in the Red Zone.

With a huge wingspan and insane athleticism, Durant would have been a crazy wide receiver. In fact, his love for football goes long back. Durant once tried to get past a former NFL player and failed miserably. The video has been making rounds on social media recently.
