There aren’t too many people on the planet who love basketball the way Kevin Durant does.
The future Hall of Famer has accomplished just about everything there is to accomplish in the game, and he hasn’t taken a single moment for granted.
On Netflix’s docuseries, ‘Court of Gold’, which was released on Monday, there’s a clip of Durant getting emotional talking about what it meant to play in the Olympics and to bring people together.
“Nah, for sure,” Durant said while starting to choke up.
“For sure, because it’s like, I come from neighborhoods where people don’t even talk to each other. So much hate in the world too.
“When you finally… People get to start laughing and joking for a game of ball, it’s cool to me.
“So like, it gets me emotional, dawg.
“It’s crazy to see, because it’s like… It’s crazy to see a person who traveled so long to come see their favorite player play in the Olympics.
“They spend their money, they bring their whole family. It’s just dope to me.
“The game has saved my life, so… It brought me and my family out of a lot of bull****, so I’m just grateful for it.”
Durant and Team USA helped bring home the gold medal for the fifth consecutive Olympic Games.
Durant, along with LeBron James and Steph Curry, led the team to nail-biting finishes over Serbia and France in the final two rounds.
