Kevin Durant An Example Of sportsmanship Spirit

Kevin Durant was born in 1988 outside of Washington D.C. He started playing basket ball early on and became a high school basket ball star. He played college basket ball for only one season at the University of Texas and soon was chosen in the 2007 NBA draft by the Seattle Supersonics. His rise was iconic and he went to become a four-time scoring champion for the organization which became the Oklahoma City Thunder after Durant's Rookie of the Year Campaign and in the year 2014 he was voted the most valuable player of the League. Kevin led the Golden State Warriors to back-to-back NBA Championships. He signed the Brooklyn Nets in the summer of 2019.Kevin has also played internationally and he was named 2010 FIBA World Championship MVP by the International Basketball Federation. He was selected to play for the U.S basketball team at the 2012 Olympic Games in London, where the Americans won the gold Medal.

Durant had signed a four year deal with the Brooklyn Nets worth US$164 million. However, he was hurt in the game five of the NBA Finals after he tried to make a comeback even though he was suffering from a right calf strain.
Since Kevin went down with his Achilles injury in the Game 5 f the NBA Finals, the Golden State Warriors were blamed for his injury. Kevin had to undergo a surgery to fix the ruptured right Achilles tendon. He is now recovering from surgery.
However, Kevin came out to set the record straight and informed that The Warriors were not to be blamed for his injury and that they had never pressurized him in getting back to the game.
