“I come from neighborhoods where people don’t even talk to each other,” Durant said with emotion. “There is also so much hatred in the world. When people start laughing and joking for the game of the ball, it’s cool for me.
“So, it makes me emotional, dog.”
Seeing the world unite through the basketball game is something that durant still fascinates to this day.
“It’s crazy to see people traveling for so long to see their favorite player playing at the Olympic Games,” he explained. “They send their money, they bring their entire family. It’s just dope for me.”
Durant further said that “the game saved my life. It brought me and my family out of many bulls —. I am just grateful for it.”
