If you’ve ever listened to Kevin Durant speak, you’ve probably noticed something that is very evident: He loves basketball. In nearly every interview, the Golden State Warriors star mentions his pure love of the game, and of playing it.
And yet, despite that, Durant doesn’t see himself hanging on to his playing days for as long as he can. Instead, Durant sees himself walking away from the game before the game walks away from him. And in an interview with ESPN’s Chris Haynes, Durant admitted that that moment may come as soon as in five years.
