Kevin Durant has made his name as one of the best overall scorers in NBA history. Be it shooting off the dribble or finishing in the post, Durant’s bag is as deep as it gets. Many players tend to take a few moves from the Slim Reaper as well. But there is one player that Durant tends to take a few lessons from.

And it is none other than New Orleans Pelicans forward, Brandon Ingram. Having almost the same archetype, Durant recently admitted to having picked up a few moves from what Ingram does on the floor.

Kevin Durant picking up a few moves from Brandon Ingram

Kevin Durant recently joined former NBA players Quentin Richardson and Ron Artest on the show, NBA Hooper Vision. The two hosts had a plethora of questions from KD along with a few of his opinions. One of the things he revealed whilst on the show was picking up a few moves from Brandon Ingram. During the show, Durant said, “It’s the stuff I see Brandon Ingram do. I’m like, ‘ight, I can see a little bit of my game and what I do.’”

“‘You know, we emulate each other. And it’s the stuff I see Brandon Ingram do, and I’m like ‘ight let me try that too.’”

Kevin Durant and Brandon Ingram both started as small forwards for their respective teams. But over time, their roles on the floor have evolved to what their team requires from them.

Apart from positions, both Durant and Ingram have the same type of lean physique as well. Both players have an almost identical wingspan with a few inches of height difference. So, what one can pull off on the court, it is more than likely that the other one could follow in his footsteps too.

But in order to stay on top of the league, one has to keep pushing himself and his limits as a basketball player. So, for Durant to be on the lookout for new moves on the floor to get the best of defenders does make a lot of sense.
