Kevin Durant is one of the greatest players ever to have played the game of basketball. The Brooklyn Nets superstar is a basketball genius and an offensive savant. Kevin is a seven-foot three-level scorer who can average thirty points a game easily. He has a deadly jump shot, can shoot the ball from three-point range, and get to the basket pretty easily. He also has decent handles for his size to get out of tricky situations.

Durant has won three NBA scoring titles till now and one NBA League MVP in 2014. But being a superstar in this league is not easy. You are under constant pressure to perform, and if you don’t, the pressure just adds up.
