Durant talked to ESPN the Magazine for its eSports Issue (on newsstands June 22) about his passion for video games.
"I never took it for granted that every copy of NBA 2K15 was going to have my face on it," Durant said. "2k was a source for me to dream big as a kid; I felt like I was a part of the NBA by playing the game. And now, as a pro, it lets me enjoy being a kid again."
